Deploying my own first BPEL project

[rainstar79]

Hi,
i have created all my BPEL, WSDL and bpel-definition.xml files and put them into a folder. What is my next step? How can I deploy these files to the running jBoss 4.0.5. Should I make a jar out of it and copy it to the deploy folder? I modeled my BPEL process with the help of the Eclipse BPEL designer. I use the bpel 1.1-beta3 extension.
Thanks for your help

Hi again,
maybe I describe my problem a little bit more in detail:

My "BPEL-project" Folder called planets contains the following files:

- PlanetscompositeService.bpel
- PlanetsCompositeService.wsdl
- PlanetscompositeServiceArtifacts.wsdl
- droid.wsdl
- bpel-definition.xml

I have a running jBoss Server where I deployed the jBPM BPEL 1.1-beta3 extension.

What is my next step now???

I tried to clone an example in the sample folder of the bpel extension - i.e. i copied all my files to the hello example.
Then I wanted to run all the ant tasks according to the user guide. Is this needless or was it a good approach?
But i got the following errormessage when I run the ant deploy-definition:

[deployprocess] got response code: 500

14:52:33,118 ERROR [ProblemHandler] PlanetsCompositeService.bpel could not read wsdl document

WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing ''

Do I have to run all ant tasks (also ant gernerate-artifacts, etc)??

Btw my bpel process, which I modeled with the Eclipse BPEL designer, looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Isn't there a more easier way to deploy my bpel process - or is there something wrong with my bpel process?!?!

Thanks for your help.
