1. Re: BPEL, WSBPEL and BPEL4WS
aguizar Mar 2, 2007 2:02 PM (in response to agusgr)Are there any difference between BPEL, WSBPEL and BPEL4WS?
You can consider them as synonyms. BPEL4WS was the name of the specification in version 1.0 and 1.1, when it was a proprietary document of MSFT, IBM et al.
After the specification was submitted to OASIS for becoming a standard, it was renamed WS-BPEL. The OASIS technical committee (of which we are part :-) recently approved version 2.0.
Of the above, we have comprehensive coverage of BPEL4WS 1.1 and partial coverage of WS-BPEL 2.0.
BPEL is the acronym normally used when you want to refer to the language itself, without regard of version or status as a standard.
