Statement for WS-Transactions workshop

Hi,

 

Here's what I'd 
propose for a statement from WS-CAF to the Microsoft/IBM/BEA Workshop this 
Wednesday.  For discussion tomorrow.

 

The WS-CAF TC 
believes that the best path forward for the industry would be cooperation on 
merging the WS-CAF set of specifications with the WS-T, WS-C, and WS-BA set of 
specifications.  Toward that end we would like to propose that Microsoft, 
IBM, and BEA adopt the concept of separating out the context mechanism into its 
own specification (i.e. agreeing to work jointly to progress WS-Context) and to 
investigate the alignment of WS-Coordination Framework with WS-Coordination, 
and agreement to jointly progress the Business Process transaction 
model defined in the WS-Transaction Management 
specification.

 

Also, WS-CAF would 
like to re-iterate its invitation to Microsoft, IBM, and BEA to join the WS-TC, 
and submit WS-T, WS-C, and WS-BA to the WS-CAF TC for consolidation and 
aligmnent.
