Outline of the presentation Introduction WS-BPEL concepts and their realization in our tool Basic and Structured Activities BPEL Designer: Recent features and relations Demo: ODE Runtime integration WS-BPEL concepts and their realization in our tool Partner Links, Variables, Correlation, Fault Handling

Part 1: Introduction What is Business Process? 1 A business process is a set of coordinated tasks and activities that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. Tasks and activities can be represented as (web) services. What is a (Web) Service? 1 Web services (sometimes called application services ) are services (usually including some combination of programming and data, but possibly including human resources as well) that are made available from a business's Web server for web users or other web-connected programs. 1 – definitions taken from whatis.com

Introduction: Why WS – BPEL? WSDL defined Web services have a stateless interaction model Messages are exchanged using Synchronous invocation Uncorrelated asynchronous invocations Most “real-world” business processes require a more robust interaction model Messages exchanged in a two-way, peer-to-peer conversation lasting minutes, hours, days, etc. WS-BPEL provides the ability to express stateful, long-running interactions

Introduction: What is WS-BPEL WS-BPEL describes in an SOA how your company performs its business processes With WS-BPEL, it is straightforward to let your business partners and customers directly participate in your business processes With WS-BPEL, it is straightforward to tie in web services as activities of your business processes

BPEL Concept: Basic Activities process New Tutorial! receive reply invoke Invoke a one-way or request-response operation Do a blocking wait for a matching message to arrive / send a message in reply validate assign Update the values of variables or partner links with new data Validate XML data stored in variables throw rethrow Generate a fault from inside the business process Forward a fault from inside a fault handler exit Immediately terminate execution of a business process instance compensate compensateScope Invoke compensation on all completed child scopes in default order Invoke compensation on one completed child scope wait Wait for a given time period or until a certain time has passed empty No-op instruction for a business process extensionActivity Wrapper for language extensions

BPEL Concept: Structured Activities process … … flow Contained activities are executed in parallel, partially ordered through control links sequence Contained activities are performed sequentially in lexical order while Contained activity is repeated while a predicate holds repeatUntil Contained activity is repeated until a predicate holds pick Block and wait for a suitable message to arrive (or time out) forEach Contained activity is performed sequentially or in parallel, controlled by a specified counter variable if-elseif-else Select exactly one branch of activity from a set of choices scope Associate contained activity with its own local variables, partner links, etc., and handlers 2. N. 1. … B C A c c c1 c2 2. N. 1. … A M2 M1

… and Realisation: Activities This is just a dummy slide – I will show a demo here …

Part 3: BPEL Designer relations We are based on Eclipse frameworks and technologies like EMF, GEF, SWT We use stuff from other Eclipse projects … WTP (for all the WSDL related stuff, e.g. creating a WSDL) DTP (for all the XSD related stuff, e.g. creating an XSD for a variable) … We also use stuff from / make use of other open source projects .. e.g. Apache ODE

Part 3: Standard Compliance Support of BPELWS 1.1 (in version 0.1) Support of BPEL 2.0 … … all standard activities are supported No full support of extensibility mechanisms yet No support of abstract BPEL

Part 3: Useful recent features synchronized editable source view Palette dockable / hideable / in a view WSIL browser for discovering available web services Export as image Switch diagram orientation Apache ™ ODE runtime integration plugins New Tutorial!

Part 4: Demo – Runtime integration Of course we could have used any of our companies runtime environments to show a demo … … but in order to stay true to the open source idea … … we used an open source BPEL engine called Apache ODE as reference runtime and wrote some integration code …

Part 4: Demo of „Model – Deploy - Run“ Create a new „Hello World“ BPEL project Model a business process Create a new ODE server (see next slide) Add the project to the server (see 2nd next slide) Start the server (triggers the deploy) Make sure the process is deployed (in ODE‘s admin console) Run the process (eg. using SOAP UI to send messages) This is just a dummy slide – I will show a demo here …

Demo: reference runtime integration (Apache ODE) This is just a dummy slide – I will show a demo here …

Demo: Add BPEL projects to Apache ODE server and deploy This is just a dummy slide – I will show a demo here …

BPEL Concept: Partner Links process partner link partner link type Peer-to-peer conversational partner relationship WSDL port type myRole Provided port type WSDL port type partnerRole Required port type receive Inbound request – service provided by the process invoke Outbound request – service required by the process

BPEL Concept: Variables process xsl:transform assign receive request response invoke request reply response 42 WSDL message WSDL message WSDL messages Variables defined using WSDL messages 42 XML schemas XML Schema elements / types Variables defined using XML schema elements or types

and Realisation: Partner Links, Variables This is just a dummy slide – I will show a demo here …

BPEL Concept: Variable Properties process XML schema element WSDL message part part part ... property property alias Typed properties are mapped (aliased) to parts of WSDL messages or XML schema elements property property alias A property creates a name that has semantic significance beyond an XML schema type getVariableProperty( variable, property ) Properties isolate the process logic from the details of a variable definition 

BPEL Concept: Properties and Correlation Sets How to identify stateful instances via stateless WS interfaces? A process instance is assigned one or more keys Business data is used as key, e.g., customerID A key can be compound, e.g., (customerID, orderNumber) WS-BPEL calls a key a correlation set – it is used to correlate an incoming message with a process instance Process 4 (0123,15) Process 3 (0815,42) Process 2 (4711,37) Process 1 (0815,12) 0815 42 Message 2 customerID orderNumber 4711 37 Message 1

BPEL Concept: Properties and CorrelationSets process How to identify stateful instances via stateless Web service interfaces? initiate process instance 3 correlation set customerId orderNumber process instance 1 process instance 2 process instance 4 receive Submit purchase order Messages in long-running conversations are correlated to the correct process instance locate purchaseOrder cId = 0815 orderNo = 42 receive Query order status queryOrderStatus custId = 0815 oNo = 42 customerId orderNumber 4 (0815, 49) 3 (0815, 42) 2 (0707, 11) 1 (0311, 33) process instance 3

BPEL Concept: Fault, Compensation Handling 1. Do some work (successfully invoke two services) 2. Invoke another service (throws fault) 6. Undo work (in reverse order) process scope invoke invoke invoke fault handler compensate compensation handler compensate compensation handler compensation handler invoke invoke 3. The fault triggers the process-level fault handler 4. Compensate previous work 5. Propagate compensation
