BPEL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BPEL is an orchestration language, not a choreography language. BPEL's focus on modern business processes, plus the histories of WSFL and XLANG, led BPEL to adopt web services as its external communication mechanism. BPEL's control structures such as 'if-then-elseif-else' and 'while' as well as its variable manipulation facilities depend on the use of 'programming in the small' languages to provide logic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BPEL   (1765 words)

Enterprise Java Community: BPEL and Java BPEL is thus comparable to general purpose programming language such as Java, but it is not as powerful as Java. A synchronous BPEL process blocks the client (the one which is using the process) until the process finishes and returns a result to the client. BPEL is an important language for the process-oriented approach to SOA. www.theserverside.com /articles/article.tss?l=BPELJava   (3673 words)

[No title] BPEL was submitted to OASIS last year, where it is currently undergoing finalization (see www.oasis-open.org). BPEL also enables a process to be defined in one environment and executed in another. BPEL will almost certainly become central to complex business orchestration, but with a clear technology roadmap in place you can be sure that your Web services investment today will reap rewards for years to come. msdn.microsoft.com /msdnmag/issues/05/03/BPEL4WS/default.aspx   (3226 words)

BPEL can usher in a new era of Business Process Management - In Person - Network Magazine India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) As BPEL is still in its infancy and not yet a standard, the OASIS technical committee continues to work through issues and the specification continues to change significantly. BPEL utilises an XML syntax from which a process diagram can be rendered, enabling developers to build their processes largely by using visual drag-and-drop tools. Although BPEL is clearly poised to become the dominant standard for orchestration of Web services, it does not address a number of significant issues faced today by organisations with heterogeneous IT environments. www.networkmagazineindia.com /200508/inperson02.shtml   (1237 words)

Cover Pages: Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) BPEL is on its way to becoming the cornerstone of SOA implementations in an enterprise environment, responsible for coordinating disparate resources and services into end-to-end business processes. BPEL is an emerging specification that would give programmers a way to formally describe processes underlying business applications so that they can be exposed and linked to processes in other applications. BPEL is a fairly mature specification, with at least two nontrivial implementations (IBM's BPWS4J and Collaxa's Orchestration Server), and its main backers (the IBM-BEA-Microsoft troika) jointly own a market segment not easily distinguished from the entire market itself. xml.coverpages.org /bpel4ws.html   (15054 words)

WS - BPEL Since this commentary was first written, BPEL has risen in popularity and two camps have formed: the one that consider BPEL as an execution language (Oracle, IBM, FiveSight, OpenStorm,...) and the ones that consider BPEL an exchange format: Microsoft and BEA. There is no capability provided by BPEL to specify and execute transformations on the data. BPEL is designed to be able to deal with business process models though it remains fairly "centric" and would not enable an arbitrary message exchange between two partners to be simply "observed" by the process engine rather than controlled. www.ebpml.org /bpel4ws.htm   (2435 words)

BPEL 2.0 Now, on the "EAI" front (BPEL does not claim clearly that space but some vendors like Collaxa view as a domain of application of BPEL), BPEL is not much more efficient than on the business process or B2B collaboration space. BPEL is so entrenched in B2B now that when you try to apply BPEL to EAI you realize that every message based activity (send receive and invoke) have a "partnerLink",... I have been arguing for sometime that BPEL is a programming language that let us write business logic that can be part of a business process. www.ebpml.org /bpel_2_0.htm   (948 words)

Dev Web: Weaving Web Services Together   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) BPEL is the XML standard that Oracle, BEA, IBM, Microsoft, and other vendors are aggressively working on as a mechanism for orchestrating Web-services-based end-to-end business processes. A BPEL process is normally broken into two major sections—a declarations section and a section containing the process activities—surrounded by an outer element called , which identifies the process name itself. BPEL is on the cusp of unleashing the same opportunity for business process integration. www.oracle.com /technology/oramag/oracle/04-jul/o44dev_web.html   (1266 words)

Burnham's Beat: Software's Top 10 2005 Trends: #7 BPEL BPEL is hot because companies increasingly realize that in order to take advantage of their emerging web services they must find a way to integrate a number of services into a cohesive business process flow. As BPEL matures there’s a real possibility that more and more of its functionality will be embedded directly into the actual BPEL messages making it possible for trading partners to amend workflows “on the fly” and bringing greater transparency to inter-enterprise process flows in general. At a high level, BPEL servers that are customized to meet the needs of a particular industry, such as insurance or manufacturing, may present interesting investment opportunities, while at a low level BPEL gateways or routers that quickly process and transform messages may also be attractive. billburnham.blogs.com /burnhamsbeat/2005/03/softwares_top_1_2.html   (408 words)

The definitive BPEL and Java article The article introduces BPEL and concentrates on the idea of extending BPEL, to be able to compose resources other than web services (EJBs, JMS, etc), and the possibility to mix BPEL and Java code. While I agree that BPEL is a great foundation for an integration solution, I think you'll find that as market continues to evolve BPEL solutions will allow the integration of almost any technology component, including Java objects: WSDL can be used as a contract language for almost anything. BPEL is pretty commodity now so it's difficult to provide a comprehensive list, it's interesting to see a few of the more advanced ones are starting to work on CDL finally. www.theserverside.com /news/thread.tss?thread_id=33279   (3655 words)

What Do You Mean, BPEL Isn't Perfect? The general assumption of BPEL is that you're invoking web services, but this isn't tightly coupled into the language. BPEL designers shouldn't get hung up in the nature of the invoke since this could change over time without affecting their BPEL. So my thought about the debate in BPEL community recently is that, while people give a more heavy burden on BPEL than ever, the original BPEL can certainly not satisfy the new requirement and must be extended. blogs.ittoolbox.com /eai/bpel/archives/006110.asp?rss=1   (844 words)

Web services standards face a split | CNET News.com The group of companies, which originally authored BPEL, also plans to publish an update to the BPEL specification when it is submitted to OASIS. The submission of BPEL to OASIS is the latest move in a series of maneuvers related to Web services standards. Martin Chapman, who is the co-chair of the W3C choreography working group, said that although he was "perplexed and disappointed" by the decision to submit BPEL to OASIS, the move may help focus the work done at the W3C. news.com.com /2100-1013-997042.html   (1259 words)

Oracle, BEA battle over BPEL | InfoWorld | News | 2005-09-20 | By Paul Krill A BEA official on Tuesday rejected the notion that the company does not support BPEL and noted that BEA was one of the companies that first proposed it, along with Microsoft (Profile, Products, Articles) and IBM (Profile, Products, Articles). BPEL differs in that it is based on XML, is multiplatform and not confined to Java, according to Roth. "The important thing is [BPEL is] not done yet and while we look at BPEL as a promising development, Oracle users are taking a huge risk by developing on BPEL 1.1 and getting locked into something that they think is standard but isn't," Roth said. www.infoworld.com /article/05/09/20/HNoraclebeabpelfeud_1.html   (1453 words)

BPEL - Computerworld Sitting in front of a BPEL designer graphical user interface, a business manager such as our insurance broker could define a business process in BPEL that would be independent of the underlying applications. To run BPEL code that has been generated, either through a GUI or by an intrepid XML programmer, the code is parsed by a BPEL engine, which does the same kind of parsing job as other XML interpreters. An insurance-broker BPEL program, for example, might request financial information from a customer first, loop through insurance company offerings that it discovers from a UDDI search (some of which may be time-based offers) and finally present a package to the customer. www.computerworld.com /developmenttopics/development/webservices/story/0,10801,102580,00.html?source=x3   (1337 words)
