[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (BPEL-218) introduce a central service catalog

introduce a central service catalog ----------------------------------- Key: BPEL-218 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/BPEL-218 Project: JBoss jBPM BPEL Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Engine Reporter: Alejandro Guizar Assigned To: Alejandro Guizar Fix For: jBPM BPEL 1.1 GA Original Estimate: 3 days Remaining Estimate: 3 days In scenarios where full deployment information is missing (e.g. deployment from the eclipse designer) there is no source of partner service descriptions. An earlier proposal mentioned the imported WSDL documents. However, it is not a good solution as most BPEL processes are defined "in the abstract", i.e. without port-specific information. A better alternative is to maintain a central service catalog available to all processes. Registration in the central catalog can be either programmatic (ant task) or manual (web console). There are two registration modes: containment and reference. In the first mode, the WSDL document is stored in the jBPM database. In the second, only the document URL is remembered; the actual content is retrieved on demand.
