Whether they trigger a complex choreographed operation lasting weeks or months, or just complete the order then and there, the interface can be the same. After that, it's just a game of "follow the declared state transitions" (which has its own issues, but they're manageable). MB -- Mark Baker, CTO, Idokorro Mobile.
