Current G-Reg admin console is designed to associate only one Lifecycle with a registry resource at any given time but it seems we have valid use cases which require to associate more than one Lifecycle with a registry resource.
E.g - ES + G-Reg integration - ES has an approval process which define and manage lifecycle of an assets within the 'context of store'. - Same asset/resource (e.g REST Service ) has governance lifecycle within the 'context of G-Reg' (e.g - dev, Q/A, product status). Right now both of above Lifecycles have been implemented using SCXML and the problem is it's not possible to associate more than one Lifecycle with a registry resource. During the last week we had a meeting and identified supporting to associate multiple Lifecycles is the best way go forward. Further in order to realize this multiple Lifecycles concept properly we should think associating more than one Lifecycle result into associating multiple 'contexts' to a resource and under each context the resource can have independent/dependent lifecycles. Further with this change 'state' of a resource should be qualified with a given context, in other words question "what is the state of resource A" should be raised as "what is the state of a resource A under 'context -X' ". As an example consider "Published a Q/A stage service into the store' - Under project or governance context - service state is 'Q/A' - Under Store context - service is 'Published' @Senka, I would like to know is there any specific reason that we haven't implement this support in past ? If there is no such barrier we can proceed further.
