Towards Resource-Oriented BPEL

  • Chapter
Emerging Web Services Technology, Volume II

Abstract

Service orientation is the de-facto architectural style, today. But, what actually is a service and how should service boundaries be chosen? Resource orientation, once seen as a “light-weight” approach to Web services, is reshaping itself as a modeling strategy to service orientation. Along comes the realization that resources are in-fact complex state machines. Currently, there is no accepted standard for modeling the internal state of resources. In this paper, BPEL is proposed as a modeling language for resources and necessary extensions to BPEL are outlined.
