 paul writes "As promised, the 1.1 version of the BPEL spec has been published. And what are the changes? Well, IBM, MS and BEA have been joined by Siebel and SAP on the authors list; it's grown by some 60 pages; and containers are now called variables. It looks like they have added some new constructs for late binding of services too. The doc has been re-written and now seems to be clearer than the first version. I couldn't find out if IBM's reference implementation has been updated yet, but I suspect not." |

| paul writes "It's been nearly 3 weeks since we had any mention of BPEL on this site, so knowing how avidly our readers are following its progress I thought I'd post this CNET link to its current status as a proposed OASIS standard. The story takes the W3C/WSCI vs OASIS/BPEL web services split tack, but does include some intresting quotes. In response to the assertion that "any products based on BPEL can be sold without any royalties to the authors of the specification." from "executives at IBM, Microsoft and BEA", "one man's royalty-free may not be another man's royalty-free" points out a
W3C spokesman. There must be some truth in this - the acrimony over these proposals is an indication of just how important they are to the widespread adoption of web services, and that defining them is a key to controlling their direction in the future. Other unnamed executives are quoted as saying that "IBM and Microsoft intend to implement the BPEL standard within their respective products this year."" |

But then they said they had decided to withdraw, citing "incompatibilities" with the W3C's vision of choreography. Not least of which, it is implied, is the part about royalty free implementations. Coverage at several sites, including CNN and Internet News." |

| paul writes "According to news.com, the W3C is about to start its much-heralded attempt to produce a standard choreography/workflow language for web services. Whilst BPEL4WS is not on the table at the current time, given the non-participation of both IBM and MS in this process, IBM does seem to be indicating that BPEL will be royalty-free. Strange then that they are not participating. Obviously these standards bodies are not worthy of their attention." Oooh, them are fight'n words. |

| Anonymous Coward writes "Interesting commentary article snipped from SearchWebServices.com website: "There's no denying the frustration within the Web services community over the slow rate of adoption, especially outside the corporate firewall. Some attribute this to a lack of standards, including critical security standards; others simply believe that Web services have been over-hyped. Could 'utility computing' be the unlikely catalyst to hasten
Web services adoption?"" |
