I'm new to BPEL and BPM world. I leart it through "SOA for the business developer book".
Now i have this doubt:
I have several servers which run J2EE applications.
Each one has also a BatchSubsystem which expose a web services interface which allow to schedule a new process for that application. I dont just have JMS queues because i have some requirements i cant fit with just a JMS queue.
Now, if i want to use a BPM to orchestrate business process among my applications, can i do something like
for each application i want to insert "process X" in do concurrently
invoke(insert process X)
receive(feedback from application i about process X)
?
That means, can i invoke services asynchronously and then wait from THAT application a response about the service i invoked previously?
i was thinking to put a "sender" field in the invokation message of the response so my BPEL process catch the right response in each receive()
Is this wrong? is there a better way to achieve this result?
thanks
