About some news on Web Services orchestration
Been out of the BPEL et. al. thing for a while now as I currently have to do some things I have to do (== work for a living :-)).
But Tomas is currently playing with Collaxa's Beta 9 and is quite confident up to now.
To add, there are three very interesting slide decks on BPEL from three gods at Collaxa's Take weblog.
... if I only had more time for all this very exciting stuff ...
