Document: | Web Services Business Activity Framework (WS-BusinessActivity) |
Purpose: | To handle a relatively complex business interaction. In many cases, the interaction occurs over a relatively long period of time (days rather than seconds); includes manual steps (such as product manufacture); and requires that failure be followed by a compensating service rather than by a database rollback. WS-BusinessActivity extends WS-Coordination and defines a set of processing states so that (for example) a requester responds appropriately when a service notifies the requester that the service has completed all work. |
