Order Quote Management using Worklist application

Question

Hi,
I am trying to assess the best option to implement a Order Quote Management Use Case.
Use Case:
1. User creates a list of items and create an order
2. User selects 3 (or more) Suppliers and submit the order for a quotation
3. In parallel the Suppliers receive a notification (by email) and access to the Supplier portal.
4. Each single Supplier can see the order and add the prices / mark items can not deliver.
5. Each Supplier re-submits the order to the original user.
6. User can check all the Suppliers' quotes and select the best one.
I was thinking to use the Worklist applications and Human Task BPEL to perform it.
This is what I was thinking:
a. Extend the Worklist application with a customize a webpage where the user can create a items list for quotation.
b. When the user submit the order for quotation the page will call a ASYNC BPEL (called OrderQuotation).
c. The BPEL OrderQuotation process will use Human Task BPEL to start a Human Task in parallel with the Suppliers (Supplier will receive a notification by mail using the notification function as well)
d. We will expose the Worklist application (using Oracle Portal) to the Supplier
e. Supplier will login in the Worklist application and claim the task
f. Supplier will modify the order for quotation with price information and will submit back to the supplier the order now quoted.
g. User will login in Worklist application and he will see a customized page where all the orders are quoted and compared for each supplier.
Please, let me know:
1. if this approach can be achieved using the standard functionalities of Worklist application / Human Task interaction in BPEL.
2. If yes, which Human Task interaction parametrization I should use
3. If no, let me know what I have to extend in the worklist to achieve it
4. Or alternative another possible way to achieve it.

Danny

Hi,
I also face the issue to port Worklist in JSP or portal other than using adf.
I am using SOA 11.1.1.2 and using BPEL and Human workflow. I did a complete flow from JSP ->BPEL->Human worlist. Whenever i
submit a form values in JSP, it hits BPEL and i am
getting proper message list in Human worklist and wherein i can able to assign, escalate and delegate tasks.
Now i need to customize the worklist in Weblogic Portal 10g or to JSP. My requirement now is to port the Worlist default skins to jsp or Portal.
I also gone through SOA 11g developers guide and in worklist sections but no idea how to implement.
If any body knows please advise.
Thanks..
