I know of no
reason why eclipse 3.0 should be a problem with
ALF. There currently is
no ALF specified feature that requires any
particular version of eclipse.

Eclipse 3.0.x as that’s currently compatible with Dimensions, does anyone know
if that would be a problem. I will also check the readme’s but if anyone has
real knowledge, I would be grateful. Thanks Consultant,

alf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:alf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Buss Thanks for taking a
shot at this. That certainly sounds reasonable, at least for the POC Java
based developement. It doesn't happen to be what I currently have
installed but probably I should get the newer versions. It is
definately an advantage if we are all working with the same base
platform. When we address
security we will need to look again at WebService support. Axis2 looks
like the best bet for WS-Security but it is not complete yet. I haven't
tried it Strictly it is not
correct to say ALF "recommends" the Active BPEL engine but it is the engine we
will use for now. It is the most complete open source engine we
have tested so far and it seems to be very stable. Please note that
it is distributed under a GPL license so care should be taken to ensure there is
no mixing of code bases. The Oracle engine is not open source as far as I
am aware. We have had some issues
with the Oracle Process Designer but it is probably the right place to start
given that it is in process of becoming an Eclipse
project. For a really quick
introduction to BPEL this presentation may be helpful if you haven't seen it
already. Tim From:
alf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:alf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Brady Hello
Alfers, My goal is to have a guideline-tidy
ALF dev environment. I’ve read through the docs and here’s what I plan to
use: - Java JDK
1.5 - Eclipse
3.1 - Tomcat 5.5.9 /Axis 1.2.1 for Event
Manager/Service Flow WS and client jars - ActiveBPEL 2.0 for Service Flow
Engine - Oracle BPEL Process Designer
10.1.2 Eclipse Plugin The Oracle Process Designer plugin
appeared to install fine into eclipse 3.1. The Oracle BPEL engine appeared
not to support tomcat, plus ALF recommended ActiveBPEL
anyway. Any comments,
advice? The Oracle site has some good
tutorials on BPEL, including a hello world project: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/htdocs/dev_support.html#tutorials Any recommended reading for ramping
up quick on BPEL? Thanks, Bob
