Comment on Microsoft asks us to define terms for them; we happily oblige by Michael Rowley

Michael Rowley — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:22:43 +0000

Casper — actually BPEL portability is not a joke. It _is_ possible (and not even very hard) to stick to the standard when creating orchestrations. If you do, they will work in ActiveVOS or in Oracle’s engine or IBM’s engine. There used to be a problem that human activities weren’t supported, but that is being solved by BPEL4People.

Comment on Microsoft asks us to define terms for them; we happily oblige by Casper

Casper — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:53:14 +0000

Thanks for correcting my standpoint, Alex

Alex, it’s not me wanting a shared repository – it’s what happening in this very moment. I can’t say I’m blown away about the market acceptance for BPEL in last 5 years. “Oslo” will play the role for building applications as Windows has been playing for the last 2 decades. You know it, I know it and all vendors know it’s time to let the standardization of how things execute go away. When it comes to portability reasons, BPEL is just a joke. Don’t get me wrong though. I like BPEL, but just it’s semantics for process execution – as much as I hate the fuzzy, unlogical notation of BPMN.

Comment on Microsoft asks us to define terms for them; we happily oblige by Alex Neihaus

Alex Neihaus — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:48:38 +0000

Hmmm….I think we said just the opposite: that a common meta language is a seriously bad idea, one that Microsoft is foisting on the world largely because in its own internal logic, M is “neat” or “cool” and not because anyone wants a language to define languages.

Still, Casper, if you think this is what you want, may the Force be with you as you try to actually make something work on a real computer in a real application.

Comment on Microsoft asks us to define terms for them; we happily oblige by Casper

Casper — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:08:44 +0000

I think you are right, BPEL and BPMN will die as intermediate formats. “Oslo” will take us from sharing angel brackets to sharing models in a common repository through a common meta language “M”.

Comment on The BPEL Game Show…with contestant David Linthicum by Alex Neihaus

Alex Neihaus — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 20:31:56 +0000

We post all comments, except for obvious spam. I am not sure that Steve expected this when he wrote the comment above since he might have expected that by being insulting, I’d get angry and delete his comment. Some people do that, you know…they think because you require a userid to post a comment — which means you review them — that you’ll get petulant and only post what you like.

Instead, I am happy to approve it and post it to the blog. You decide if we’re “not too bright” and “a fraud” for yourself.

Column 2 by Sandy Kemsley : Oracle-BEA Strategy — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:54:08 +0000

[...] Oracle’s been taking a bit of a beating lately, with Gartner stating that their middleware suites are “assemblies of convenience”, and that they are unlikely to offer any surprising innovations in the short term as they’re attempting to resolve the overlap and incompatibilities between the Oracle and BEA product lines. Gartner’s saying “watch this space”, but some of Oracle’s competitors are interpreting that as “they’ve got a big bunch of SOA stuff they have to integrate, and you know it’s going to h…. [...]

Comment on Bitch slappin’ BPMS: a BPMN and BPEL war of words by Bruce Silver

Bruce Silver — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:40:09 +0000

Slapped down good, I guess, since so far Nick has shut up, not put up. I don’t think I’m a purist, but I am a member of the so-called BPM community, and while that community does not speak with a single voice, I think I’m correct in saying Nick’s characterization of BPM is an outsider “making it up.” One quibble I have with your piece is that point-click implementation design without code – even if you do it all in BPMN proper (impossible) – is not the same as implementation by business users. It sounds like your company, along with many others in the BPMS world, is offering the former. I think the nub of the issue is that the target user of your design tool or Lombarardi’s is considered by guys like Nick to be a “business user.” Real business users would laugh at this (or like me, consider it just out of touch).
