For BPEL dont forget the great open source product https://sourceforge.net/projects/activebpel They also have a comercial version, but the OS version is quite good. As for comparing XProc and BPEL I also think its a mismatch of intent. If you want to compare something to XProc I humbly suggest xmlsh (www.xmlsh.org) which is targeted at a much more similar set of use cases that xproc is (although it can handle non-xml data equally well). Excepct an xproc module to xmlsh (based on calabash) shortly, and possibly a "native" xproc implementation in the far future. But by itself (without the xproc plugin) the capibilities and intended use cases are similar, much more so then BPEL. -David ----------------------------------------------------------- David A.
