AW: Extension activities

[Michael Hahn <mh...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm actually very interested in the support of BPEL extension activities in ODE and also willing to help to integrate/build the feature :-)
Some years ago I was able to successfully port the extension activity support from the "APACHE_ODE_2.X-experimental" branch into an ODE 1.3.4 release.

So, if someone can give me a pointer where to find the most recent version of the extension activity related classes, I can integrate the feature into the current trunk and provide the result as a pull request. Else I can also simply go with the version in the "APACHE_ODE_2.X-experimental" branch as a starting point.

Regards,
Michael

Hi Oliver,

ODE 2.0 branch was an experimental branch and is not maintained since a very long time. I will have to revisit it myself, in case it involves changes to the ODE object model, then we cannot bring it on any of 1.3.x releases because of chances of breaking binary compatibilities.

In order to make new features available, we moved towards JSON based state serialization away from JAVA serialization in the trunk which is in 1.4 release.

Currently, we are seeking new committers, you might want to discuss the feature that you are willing to contribute and probably help us build it.

regards,
sathwik

Hi Hahn,

Good to hear about your interest on porting Extension activities onto the
trunk. It only exists in APACHE_ODE_2.X-experimental" branch.

I suppose these should be the initial commits from Tammo, [ODE-159, ODE-160]
https://github.com/apache/ode/commit/5ef69232cc6f19cf2818dd1b110416b959297126
https://github.com/apache/ode/commit/1d5fa185a77c944e8d4a708b451611fa74d5c2dc

You can just go up the commits if there are more.


regards,
sathwik
