RE: XML's Role in E-Commerce and Enterprise ComputingThe problem with this approach is the missing functionality of the HTTP protocol. SWAP was building on the WebDAV protocol and I think WfMC has missed that point. No longer do we have a standard protocol which would allow open interaction between workflow servers, but a self serving set of APIs to allow the suppliers to retain control of the market. There is too much missing from the drafts; too much functionality will be proprietary extensions. -----Original Message----- SWAP then becomes simply the sending of this format over HTTP, which is an example transport protocol mentioned in the spec.
