Biztalk Server 2004 and BPEL 1.1

I spend a lot of time working with Biztalk Server 2004. Since the beta version we can export an orchestration to BPEL, but it can only support the version 1.0. Now in this release we can import-export BPEL 1.1. Nice

Indigo and HTTP.SYS

Don recently has an interesting post about Indigo, HTTP.SYS and XPSP2. He also include a Whidbey sample that uses HTTP.SYS along side of IIS6 running on XPSP2.

BPELJ

BEA and IBM announce BPELJ. This language combines the potentialities of the Business Process Execution Language and Java to build business process. BPEL does not try to be a general-purpose programming language, but is very flexible to define business process that involved Web Services as endpoints. Now combined with Java may be an interesting choice.

New article

Yasser Shohoud has a new article about Indigo channels. This article covers one of the pillars of Indigo. Also provides samples about some MEP like Duplex, Request-Response, One-Way and Reliable.

WS-ReliableMessaging

WS-ReliableMessaging has been released. This new version adds some feature. Some of the most remarkable are:

•   Explicit squence creation.
•   Negative acknowledgements.
•   Providing fault bindings for SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2.

WS-MetaDataExchange

A new WS-Specification has been released WS-MetadataExchange. This specification defines a set of request-response pairs to retrieve WSDL, WS-Policy and XML Schema associated with a service. Using this request-response messages we obtain the Web Service MetaData in a efficient way. WS-MetadataExchange is complementary to UDDI. Developers use WS-MetadataExchange when they have a reference to a service and need to understand what it does, and use UDDI to find a reference to a Web Service that suports specific funtions.Great work

InfoPath

Two new InfoPath tools are available for download.

1. The VS.NET extensions that add manage code support to InfoPath.
