Vinay,

For theService Flow Designer I believe we use either the Oracle BPEL 
designer plug-in or a similar tool from ActiveEndpoints.  Since the BPEL 
engine is pluggable, ALF has no plans to provide either an engine or 
designer for BPEL.  Tim is closer to this area and can provide more 
information.

The Event Definition is at 
http://www.eclipse.org/alf/WSDL/EventManager/ALFEventManager.wsdl

Regarding the EventRegistration, there is support for that in the 
EventManager plugin, where the EventManager code is.  We originally had the 
notion that tools would register the events and services as they became part 
of an ALF environment, but have not found a driving need for that in 
practice.

The there were several SPIs conceived for the EventManager to allow 
pluggable extensibility.  The existing EventManager has been adequate for 
the time being so we have used the resources to put other foundational 
aspects in place, such as security and starting the vocabulary definition 
process, but we expect to return to make the EventManager as extensible as 
was originally conceived.

Regards,
Brian
