BPEL and Java Cookbook

Calling a synchronous BPEL process from Java

This recipe explains how to call a synchronous BPEL process from Java. When a client calls a synchronous BPEL, it gets blocked until the BPEL process finishes the processing and returns the response. Usually, synchronous BPEL processes are designed for cases where the operation will be completed in a relatively short time. For long-running operations, we instead design asynchronous BPEL processes. This recipe will also cover how to prepare a Java package for integration with Java applications. From the client perspective, a synchronous BPEL process can be invoked in the same way a synchronous web service could. The client is most commonly called proxy , and it is used to ease the connection between ...
