1. Re: BPEL Roadmap
aguizar Mar 20, 2006 7:38 PM (in response to joshua_hj)No, it just means that Tom and Koen release more often than me :-)
Yes; most of the complexity in the deployment process comes from the number of artifacts needed to deploy a service compliant with WS4EE 1.1. The tools subproject from JBoss Web Services will ease BPEL deployments. Apart from that, any suggestions on how to make it simpler are welcome.
Since the BPEL extension builds on jBPM objects, the monitoring capabilities offered by the jBPM web application should be usable for BPEL processes. However, the app is not very modular right now, so I'd have to modify it and maintain the forked version in the BPEL codebase.
I don't want to do that right now, since Tom is working on compartmentalizing the web application with JSF facelets. Once he's done, I'll simply use these components to assemble a BPEL admin console.
Yes. See issue BPEL-174.
Our documentation already includes samples and tutorials. Let us know what new items you would like to see. -

joshua_hj Mar 21, 2006 7:03 AM (in response to joshua_hj)OK, Thanks Alex and Tom for the reply.
One more question:
What about circular dependencies? Process A needs process B and B needs process A. How is that handled at deploy time? I had this problem with befor with Oracle tools (WSDLRuntimeLocation).
Thanks Joshua -

@joshua_hj: isn't Oracle BPEL Process Manager free to use, or i got it wrong? At the moment you can just the v10.1.2 download for free. Or what you mean is that when you want to have some advanced features, you have to pay?
pls correct me if i am wrong:-) -

While the download is certainly free, the licensing is not. Look for the following statement in the license agreement:LICENSE RIGHTS
We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs only for the purpose of developing a single prototype of your application, and not for any other purpose.
Be careful about what you agree with when you click the "I agree" button! ;-) -

huanghao Mar 27, 2006 3:35 PM (in response to joshua_hj)Hi, thanks Alex!
Those days i've been searching for a good combination of BPEL designer and BPEL engine. The criteria is free and of course should be easy to use.
As far as i found out, possible combinations could be:
1. ActiveBPEL + ActivePEL design (TBD)
2. NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5: ?all-in-one?(TBD)
3. IBM BPWS4J engine + Eclispse plug-in BPWS4J editor (exclude)
BPWS4J only works with JDK 1.4 or lower, not scalable
BPWS4J editor is pluggable only in Eclipse 2.1 or lower, no further support either.
4. Jboss BPM: BPEL engine and a plug-in design tool(TBD)
5. Oracle BPEL Process Manager + Eclips BPEL tool (exclude)
As you say:-)
