Let
me clarify point 4 (sorry, I mislabeled it as 3) in relation to point 1.

 

I
think we should distinguish services that are not compliant with BP 1.0 from
those that are simply out of scope for BP 1.0.

 

If
I have a Web service that is not bound to SOAP/HTTP, then I would say it is out
of scope for BP 1.0, so it's OK for BPEL to interact with it.

 

My
point 4 is about services that are within the scope of BP 1.0 and still do not
comply with its requirements.

I doubt that we can mandate
BPEL to be used with BP 1.0 compliant services only especially given the answer
to 1 assuming it is correct, and given that there are many services today that
are not compliant (e.g., RPC encoded ones).

I
see a few separate issues/questions connected to the relationship of BP
1.0 and BPEL.

 

1- Would
BP 1.0 be restricting BPEL to the point that some of BPEL's functionality would
not be available?

 

I
cannot think of any such restriction off the top of my head.

 

2-
Would the fact that BP 1.0 only addresses the SOAP/HTTP binding imply that also
BPEL should be limited to that type of binding?

 

I
don't think that anybody would imply that.

 

3-
Should a BPEL process be offered as a Web service that is BP 1.0 compliant?

 

My
answer would be yes.

 

3-
Would it be fair to limit BPEL use to interacting with BP 1.0 compliant Web
services only?

 

My
personal answer would be yes. But I am a member of WS-I, and I understand other
people might have different answers.

For the benefit of the
non-expert could post a salient example please?  Specifically, a BPEL
usage pattern that would not work if BP 1.0 is followed but would work if any
WSDL 1.1 portType is allowed.  In other words, is BP 1.0 a restriction on
the WSDL artifacts we use or potentially on BPEL itself?

The sections 5.5 and 5.6 in the basic profile (http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/Basic/2003-08/BasicProfile-1.0a.htm)
are devoted to binding aspects but, several major sections including section 4,
other sections of 5 address abstract aspects of WSDL, which is a pretty large
portion. All those are applicable BPEL IMO.

Most of the BP 1.0
directives are binding related.  BP also forbids outbound operations which
BPEL does not use.  Can someone identify a directive in BP 1.0 that
actually affects BPEL?
