I agree with Ashley. This is what you will get from the www.pi4soa.org open source tools. You will be able to generate the behaviors of the different services and then ensure they only process the correct sequence of messages. If you then use the service monitor (www.hattricksoftware.com) you will be able to see messages that are delivered out of sequence.

For instance, if you have messages whose semantics are dependent on their context in the exchange, you could have nasty results.   I think that the formulation of a choreography for the collaboration should ensure that the abstract processes of the participants are compatible. If the sequence of message exchanges then violate the choreography, this should be handled manually as an exception situation.   Rgds Ashley __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Computer software Computer security software Computer software program Computer fax software Computer virus software YAHOO!
