Hi Grid,
1 I disagree - for processes with lots of partner links I think this will be useful. And
it follows the well established multiple views paradigm that users have come to expect.
2 yes you are correct, BPEL does not have the concept of subprocesses and the equivalent
is a Scope.
3 I think the idea is to make the editor easier to use and understand for business
analysts and people who are not familiar with BPEL. If this means hiding some of the
details and making it look more like BPMN, then that's OK. These pages are meant to be
used in addition to the current graphical Design page. We can also allow the user to show
or hide any of these pages with Preferences. How about a "BPEL Classic" and
"BPEL Lite" ;)
