Subject: Issue 82.2 - Clarifying 82.2 and Update to BPEL Issues List
During the development and resolution of Issue 82 and the subissues, a question was raised about subissue 82.2. I was asked to give a brief history on #82.2 and provide to the TC a request to update the description. John Evdemon asked me to forward to the TC list. Thanks. > ======= > Issue 82.2 > > Short historical summary: For Issue 82, we opened several subissues > during the development of the concepts and proposed specification > language. Originally, several questions were asked about the common > base for abstract processes, and other related profiles. I myself > asked about the common base and if a profile may be needed. Issue 82 > concept and text also identified a process template as another profile > use case. At that time (and even before in the subgroup), a process > template was seen as one of the possible additional profiles that > could be considered and added.
