Issue - 72 - What to do with WS-I BP1.0? 
Status: open

Date added: 1 Oct 2003

Submitter: Liu, Kevin

Date submitted: 01 October 2003

Document: Specification

Description: WS-I BP1.0 provides clarifications and constraints on the use of WSDL1.1. We need to 
investigate and decide if BPEL should be aligned with BP1.0. In particular, 
a few questions need to be answered:

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

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?

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

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