The Web
Services Composite Application Framework is a collection of three
specifications - designed to solve problems that arise when multiple Web
services are used in combination ("composite applications") to support

WS-CAF addresses the underlying issues of Web service context propagation and
transaction management to expand the scope, usability, and reliability of Web
services for business process automation.
