[bpel-dev] Re: bpel-dev Digest, Vol 24, Issue 5

thanks for the reply and help, michal.

There are mainly two things I want to do about Eclipse BPEL. first, I don't need all the elements
in the current "Actions" and "Control". I just want to show part of them and hide all the others
to the end user. second, I want to extend it to handle semantics defined in WSDL file
automatically. for example, if there is an XPath defined in WSDL, I want to pre-process it and
then pass the result to the service. could you please give me some hint about how to do them? for
example, what's the extensionPoints for the above tasks? is it easy to achieve the above tasks? 

by the way, can I run a workflow based on the current 0.3 version? (if not, what's the plan to
release the version with execution function?) can I use Eclipse BPEL as a standard alone
application instead of Eclipse plugin?

My decision of sticking to Eclipse BPEL or changing to another BEPL is mostly based on the answers
of the above questions. I really appreciate if someone can give me some rough ideas before I
devote all my energy into it.

(by the way, michal, the sample of extensionPoints plugin you wrote is in CVS or not?)

thanks!
Sammy
