I meant that the event recording should be taken place at the
service endpoint as an effect.
The record may contain the event time, which ssn is required, the
phone number is found and returned, etc. It's not related with the
decision issue of whether or not the answer (returned phone number)
is right. I think it's another issue, and should be represented by
another process.
Maybe. It depends on who needs to know and in what context. If the
main objective is to design an algorithm that uses web services to
accomplish goals, then the details of message events (sends and
receives) may be unimportant.
