[bpel-dev] BPEL xml source structure
|
Gents,
Couple of things are starting to itch me the wrong way.
1) I know one of the things we had talked about in the past is how we
would deal with pre 2.0 bpel sources. I think the way we left it is
pre-2.0 bpel sources
would undergo an 'import' process to be consumed by the designer. And I
think we said that we would only save 2.0 source.
I don't have fundamentally a problem with it. I would just like to make
sure that 1.x sources can be read *easily* (that is the import ought to
be transparent to the user). Much the same way a "Word 97" document can
be read but not written. Forcing the user to do a separate "import"
experience would be a (-1). I think the import wizard ought to exists,
just not be the only way to bring in a pre 2.0 bpel file into our world.
2) The XML bpel source file. I am not a big fan of destructive xml
source writes, ones where the source is (re)generated from the
underlying (in this case EMF) model. In trying to make the
sample/references run through the designer I had encountered that as an
issue. A heavily commented source file is re-generated on save with
everything being destroyed other then what looked the BPEL code (and
reformatted). This just itches me the wrong way. Like I said, it's just
an itch now, not a full blown open wound. It's not infected yet either.
Just an itch.
Best,
