WS-BPEL and WS-CDL should live together
by
Paulo Michels
In my opinion WS-CDL is not yet enough mature and its xml syntax is not easily readable. For professional use we must get the help of tools like Pi4SOA.
Nice presentation!
Is it possible to download this Presentation?

1. The pi4soa tool suite from Pi4Tech is now pretty robust and much easier to use. It is open source so try it out.
2. We have provided BPEL generation from WS-CDL for well over 1 year. Oddly enough few people seem to really want it, rather they generate Java directly or use UML generation.
3. BPEL is not the only end point executable language but it is an important one to have under your belt.
Gregor has done a great job in explaining what WS-CDL is for. I would say that it provides a standard-based language supported by formalism to ensure correctness and methodology to ensure that it fits in the grand scheme of things and that it is positioned as a means by which architects can describe their SOA in the large and realise the SOA through a number of executable language. All of this with formal type guarantees of correctness.
