+1 for merging in BPEL support using Twister.
Geir, I'd like to understand the BPEL plans for Agila a bit more. I'm a co-author of the BPEL spec and have done an impl of it in IBM (BPWS4J- which was released via alphaworks a while back). My intuition is that a solid impl of BPEL needs to work very closely with the Web service layer. AFAIK there hasn't been that kind of interaction between Agila and the Axis community yet. Dims and I can easily support/facilitate that!
Matthieu- how does Twister do its SOAP, WSDL etc. stuff? Do
you support non-SOAP bindings? (BPWS4J used WSIF, for example.)
i think Mathieu is already aware of this but current WSIF needs upgrade ... http://smartcomps.kgbinternet.com/confluence/display/twister/2004/08/13/WSIF+and+adding+bindings+to+WSDL

Subject: Re: Proposition: Twister WS-BPEL engine and Apache Agila
This is great. We're really interested in getting BPEL into Agila. I'll take a look.
We originally decided to not go w/ BPEL as the core language, as we wanted to support all kinds of activities in a workflow, being able to make a workflow that mixes them. So it was planned that we'd get BPEL support, and allow you to incorporate BPEL into a regular Agila workflow using a namespace or something. Of course, we can decide if we want to change that plan here, but I think there are some compelling arguments for that kind of approach...

Hello,
I'm the project leader of Twister, an open source WS-BPEL engine. More can be found about Twister here:

I'm sending this e-mail to suggest a donation of Twister to the Apache Group and a merge with the incubated Apache Agila project. I believe that Twister and the Gluecode engine could be assembled to a better solution, using the strengths of both implementations. This would also be beneficial for the BPM Open Source community and would bring more users and contributors to Agila.
