I would prefer Iterative rather than Repetitive for the 11.7 heading

+1 to Dieter's general approach of rewording.
+1 to comments from Danny and Mark in general.

For <throw>, the "Internal" wording was added during the review to differentiate from fault coming from a WSDL operation. Could we add it back?

Apart from the <forEach> heading, the <flow> and <pick> heading does not exactly nail its nature either. How about:

   10. Basic Activities
      ...
      10.3. Invoking Web Service Operations - Invoke
      10.4. Providing Web Service Operations - Receive
      10.5. Updating Variables and Partner LinksContents - Assign
      10.6. Signaling Internal Faults - Throw
      10.7. Delayed Execution - Wait
      10.8. Doing Nothing - Empty
      10.9. Adding new Activity Types - ExtensionActivity
      10.10. Immediately Ending a Process - Exit
      10.11. Propagating Faults - Rethrow

   11. Structured Activities
      11.1. Sequential Processing - Sequence
      11.2. Conditional Behavior - If
      11.3. Pre-test Repetitive Execution - While
      11.4. Post-test Repetitive Execution - RepeatUntil
      11.5. Selective Event Processing - Pick
      11.6. Directed GraphParallel and Control Dependencies Processing - Flow
      11.7. Repetitive Multiple Branch Processing - ForEach

Does the suggestion sound good?

Thanks!

Alex Yiu

Assign can update partnerLinks so maybe the following for 10.5:

10.5. Updating Variables and Partner Links - Assign

Minor suggestions (mostly to make things shorter and hopefully more readable)

   10. Basic Activities
      ...
      10.3. Invoking Web Service Operations - Invoke
      10.4. Providing Web Service Operations - Receive
      10.5. Updating Variables Contents - Assign
      10.6. Signaling Internal Faults - Throw
      10.7. Delayed Execution - Wait
      10.8. Doing Nothing - Empty
      10.9. Adding new Activity Types - ExtensionActivity
      10.10. Immediately Ending a Process - Exit
      10.11. Propagating Faults - Rethrow

   11. Structured Activities
      11.1. Sequential Processing - Sequence
      11.2. Conditional Behavior - If
      11.3. Pre-test Repetitive Execution - While
      11.4. Post-test Repetitive Execution - RepeatUntil
      11.5. Selective Processing - Pick
      11.6. Directed Graph Processing - Flow
      11.7. Multiple Branch Processing - ForEach

ForEach's title I'm not thrilled with, but I can't come up with an alternative at the moment.

The current spec has inconsistent headings for sections introducing WS-BPEL
activities: chapter 10 has **explanatory headings**, while chapter 11 only
has **activity names**.

10. Basic Activities
...
10.3. Invoking Web Service Operations
10.4. Providing Web Service Operations
10.5. Updating Variable Contents
10.6. Signaling Internal Faults
10.7. Waiting
10.8. Doing Nothing
10.9. Using Extension Activities
10.10. Immediately Ending a Process
10.11. Propagaing Faults in a Fault Handler

11. Structured Activities
11.1. Sequence
11.2. If
11.3. While
11.4. RepeatUntil
11.5. Pick
11.6. Flow
11.7. ForEach

I propose headings for the activity sections that consistently combine
explanatory words with the activity name.

10. Basic Activities
...
10.3. Invoking Web Service Operations - Invoke
10.4. Providing Web Service Operations - Receive
10.5. Updating Variable Contents - Assign
10.6. Signaling Internal Faults - Throw
10.7. Delayed Execution - Wait
10.8. Doing Nothing - Empty
10.9. Adding new Activity Types - ExtensionActivity
10.10. Immediately Ending a Process - Exit
10.11. Propagating Faults - Rethrow

11. Structured Activities
11.1. Sequential Processing - Sequence
11.2. Conditional Behavior - If
11.3. Pre-test Repetitive Execution - While
11.4. Post-test Repetitive Execution - RepeatUntil
11.5. Selective Processing - Pick
11.6. Directed Graph Processing - Flow
11.7. Multiple Branch Processing - ForEach

If there is no objection from the TC (I wait a couple of days :-) then I
open an editing Action Item and perform the change at the next opportunity.

Kind Regards
