Brian Fitzpatrick commented on JBIDE-4864:
------------------------------------------

This is from one of Gary's e-mails:

> Having the separate versions of a BPEL deployment stored in
> different jars (with the version number suffix), can be supported
> immediately with a simple change to the M1 codebase - I've ran some
> tests and it works fine. This is because this is basically how the ODE
> versioning mechanism is intended to work.
>
>
> So this option leverages the current ODE ProcessStore, does not require
> any further development in the runtime, and means that the more
> comprehensive versioning solution based around a repository can be
> scheduled for the BPM platform.
>
> The implication of taking this option is slightly more work in the
> Eclipse WTP deployer for the BPEL project - it will need to take a
> version number from the ODE deployment descriptor, and use this in the
> name of the jar being deployed into the AS.
>
> Although in general I don't think this is the best solution, I prefer
> this route as the repository approach needs to really be developed in
> conjunction with the SOA Repository - which will hopefully be available
> for the BPM platform. This short term solution has the merit that it is
> available immediately, and can continue to be supported in the BPM
> platform as a versioning technique in a single server environment - but
> the repository approach used in a multi-server (clustered) environment.
>
> The other benefit is that we should have the current ERD functionality
> available a lot earlier than we initially thought - and so more time can
> be dedicated to examples, documentation, testing and possibly
> contributing back bug fixes into the ODE project.

> The process versioning requirement is to support an optional 'version' attribute on the top level 'deploy' element in the bpel-deploy.xml deployment descriptor, and
> provide:
> 1) Extension to ODE deployment descriptor editor to allow user to define the version.
> 2) When BPEL project is deployed to AS server, if a version has been specified, then it should be used as the suffix of the jar name.
> The version attribute should be defined in its own namespace - open to suggestions?
