[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Activity Entry & Exit State.

["Peter Haumer" <phaumer@xxxxxxx>]

Hello.
Entry and Exit State are indeed currently represented only as string 
attributes of the work product descriptor.  Original plans included to 
provide state-transition models for work products, which we had to cut and 
reduce to these string attributes for time and resource reasons.  We still 
would like to add a more complete solution as specified in our SPEM2 
submission, which provides links to complete state models.  See the section 
on Process Behavior in the spec for more details.

I also agree that a proper solution needs to allow to override the states 
for dynamically linked patterns.  Regard our current solutions as an 
intermediate step towards a more complete one.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.
