    BPEL integration

      Alejsandro says:

      Right now jBPM BPEL has the following capabilities:

      - Expose BPEL processes as web services. A JAX-RPC handler receives the SOAP message and extracts its contents. Java classes and mappings are generated to assemble a WS4EE 1.1 compliant package, but they are otherwise not used.

      - Invoke other web services. The SAAJ client communication capability to call SOAP endpoints over HTTP.

      I haven't had the time to play with the new stack, but I don't expect any problem as no Axis stuff is used at all.

      I realize there are no BPEL-specific interop steps. My idea is to check whether the endpoints I'm publishing deal properly with BP-1.0 compliant messages, as well as the messages I'm sending can be properly processed by a compliant endpoint. However, the proof of concept I'm involved in will probably last until Nov 4. I won't have much time to prepare.

      Are these interop tests a fixed suite, or there is room to play with different components?

          The bpel integration depends on jbossws. Therefore we should have some integration tests in the jbossws testsuite. Would you be able to do that?

          See the sticky post at the top of this forum on HOWTO get started.

          You can forget about the interop tests, we are not taking part.

          Are you happy with picking up

            Sure. I have some tests that demonstrate a ws4ee client invoking a bpel-served endpoint, as well as a bpel process that invokes a ws4ee-served endpoint.

            I will extend them to cover all interesting scenarios: one-way | request/response | request/fault
            simple | complex types
            rpc | document style
            I do not plan to support encodings for neither publication nor invocation.
