Okay, another proof that examples are very important :-) I think it may be a good idea, I have two concerns: - The Designer has to be able handle it - It is less readable if you write the process by hand (what a lot of people do). I wouldn't underestimate that argument. At least I would vote for something like this: | <activity type="FTP"/> | Ant the mapping is done somewhere centrally. Easier to switch implementation and more readable. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4161448#...
