Yep, I believe it's right that Tuscany's implementation.bpel doesn't support callback, conversation etc.
Can you say a litte more about what you mean about achieving the same using pure web services. If the services are written outside of the context of the Tuscany runtime them it is up the the service implementation to provide some callback and/or conversation protocol. If you mean is it possible to callback to a web service that is outside the tuscany runtime environment then that may work by explicitly setting the callback binding details but I'd have to test if. If nothing else you could specify a remote reference with a web services binding and use that as the callback target from within you service code. Sorry this is not a very precise answer. Maybe you could say a little more about your scenario Regards Simon On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 7:59 PM, Jean-Jacques Dubray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Simon: > > my understanding is that it cannot be done with BPEL yet. > > Do you know if this can be achieved with pure Web Services (regardless of > whether they have been written in Java or not). > > JJ- > > On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 12:05 PM, Simon Laws <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 3:35 PM, James, Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > > We are investigating using SCA and are trying to understand if SCA > could > > > support complex Message exchange patterns (MEP's).
