EN DETAILS

Les services web sont la plateforme technique de base requise pour l’interopérabilité des applications. Ils ne permettent pas toutefois de contrôler l’ordre et la manière dont les opérations qu’ils exposent sont invoquées. Ils ne fournissent pas non plus de moyen de décrire la sémantique des interfaces, les workflows ou les processus métier électroniques. BPEL est le chaînon manquant qui permet d’assembler et d’intégrer les services web dans des processus réels.

BPEL standardise l’automatisation des processus entre services web, qu’ils soient déployés au sein de l’entreprise afin d’intégrer des systèmes auparavant isolés, ou entre entreprises pour faciliter l’intégration entre partenaires commerciaux.

En fournissant une structure de description standard, BPEL permet aux entreprises de définir leurs processus durant la phase de conception. Ceci engendre des bénéfices encore plus larges en permettant d’optimiser ces processus, de les ré-agencer et de sélectionner les plus appropriés.

Ce livre couvre de façon exhaustive le langage, sa syntaxe et son usage. Il commence par donner une vue d’ensemble des services web, leurs fondements et justifie le besoin d’un langage tel que BPEL. La couche technologique des services web est décrite, y compris les standards tels que WS-Security, WS-Coordination, WS-Transaction, WS-Addressing et d’autres. Le langage BPEL lui-même est décrit en détail et des extraits de code ainsi que des exemples complets illustrent à la fois sa syntaxe et les constructions de processus typiques. Après avoir traité du langage, le livre aborde la façon de le mettre en aeuvre en donnant une vue d’ensemble des principaux serveurs BPEL. Deux d’entre eux, Oracle BPEL Process Manager et Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 sont traités en détail et des exemples complets de mise en aeuvre à l’aide de ces serveurs sont fournis.

Business Process Execution Language for Web Services BPEL and BPEL4WS 2nd Edition

April 27, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

An Architects and Developers Guide to BPEL and BPEL4WS

Architecture, syntax, development and composition of Business Processes and Services using BPEL
Advanced BPEL features such as compensation, concurrency, links, scopes, events, dynamic partner links, and correlations
Oracle BPEL Process Manager and BPEL Designer Microsoft BizTalk Server as a BPEL server

In Detail

Web services provide the basic technical platform required for application interoperability. They do not, however, provide higher level control, such as which web services need to be invoked, which operations should be called and in what sequence. Nor do they provide ways to describe the semantics of interfaces, the workflows, or e-business processes. BPEL is the missing link to assemble and integrate web services into a real business process BPEL4WS standardizes process automation between web services. This applies both within the enterprise, where BPEL4WS is used to integrate previously isolated systems, and between enterprises, where BPEL4WS enables easier and more effective integration with business partners. In providing a standard descriptive structure BPEL4WS enables enterprises to define their business processes during the design phase. Wider business benefits can flow from this through business process optimization, reengineering, and the selection of most appropriate processes . Supported by major vendors — including BEA, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, SAP, Sun, and others — BPEL4WS is becoming the accepted standard for business process management.

This book provides detailed coverage of BPEL4WS, its syntax, and where, and how, it is used. It begins with an overview of web services, showing both the foundation of, and need for, BPEL. The web services orchestration stack is explained, including standards such as WS-Security, WS-Coordination, WS-Transaction, WS-Addressing, and others. The BPEL language itself is explained in detail, with Code snippets and complete examples illustrating both its syntax and typical construction. Having covered BPEL itself, the book then goes on to show BPEL is used in context. by providing an overview of major BPEL4WS servers. It covers the Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 in detail, and shows how to write BPEL4WS solutions using these servers.

What you will learn from this book?

Chapter 1 provides a detailed introduction to BPEL and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It discusses business processes and their automation, explains the role of BPEL, web services, and Enterprise Service Buses (ESB) in SOA, provides insight into business process composition with BPEL, explains the most important features, compares BPEL to other specifications, provides an overview of BPEL servers, and discusses the future of BPEL.

Chapter 2 provides a detailed introduction to the Web Services Technology Stack. It discusses the important standards and specifications for using BPEL and implementing SOA with web services, such as WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-Coordination, WS-AtomicTransaction, WS-BusinessActivity, WS-Reliable Messaging, etc.

Chapter 3 discusses the composition of web services with BPEL. The chapter introduces the core concepts of BPEL and explains how to define synchronous and asynchronous business processes with BPEL. The reader gets familiar with BPEL process structure, partner links, sequential and parallel service invocation, variables, conditions, etc.

Chapter 4 goes deeper into the BPEL specification and covers advanced features for modeling complex business processes. Advanced activities, scopes, serialization, fault handing, compensations, event handling, correlation sets, concurrent activities and links, process lifecycle, and dynamic partner links are covered in detail.

Chapter 5 explains how to use the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for deploying and executing business processes defined in BPEL. It describes the server architecture, tools, features, and common approaches for managing and debugging BPEL processes. The chapter also looks at graphical development of BPEL processes using Oracle BPEL Designer for JDeveloper and for Eclipse.

Chapter 6 takes a detailed look at the advanced features of the Oracle BPEL Process Manager including extension functions, dynamic parallel flows, Web Services Invocation Framework, Java embedding, Notification service, Workflow service, Identity service, and Oracle BPEL Server APIs.

Chapter 7 discusses MS BizTalk Server 2004 and its support for BPEL. It explains how to develop business processes in BizTalk and export them to BPEL. It also explains how to import BPEL processes into BizTalk and how to use the Orchestration Designer tool to define processes graphically, and compares BizTalk and BPEL constructs.

Appendix A provides a syntax reference for BPEL version 1.1. The appendix covers standard BPEL activities and elements, functions, attributes, and faults.

ILOG Announces Integration with Oracle® BPEL Process Manager

July 2, 2009 by BPELforum

ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced the availability of integration betweenILOG JRules™ and Oracle® BPEL Process Manager. By integrating the ILOG and Oracle products business users can use ILOG JRules, a key offering in ILOG’s business rule management systems (BRMS) product line, to create and edit policies from within Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) applications in a familiar language rather than having to rely on IT staff. The two products used together can enable faster response times to changing business environments and government regulations, as well as competitive pressures for organizations, especially those in financial services, insurance, government, telecommunications, retail and manufacturing industries.

Customers can use ILOG JRules as a “decision service” for Oracle BPEL Process Manager, providing the means for publishing rules and rule sets as reusable services that result from multiple business processes. This allows users to build flexible service-oriented architectures (SOA) by leveraging existing resources, while minimizing the cost of deploying new applications. Oracle BPEL Process Manager and the JRules-enabled decision service are critical components of a BPM solution, each reducing the cost and complexity of integration projects while increasing their strategic value.

“The global economy is operating in real-time, around the clock and organizations need to ensure their business change is operating at the same pace. That means ensuring systems have the flexibility to respond to changes rapidly and effectively,” said Amlan Debnath, vice president, Server Technologies at Oracle. “ILOG’s support of Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides our joint customers with a combination of flexibility, scalability and performance that is required in today’s business environment.”

BRMS: Essential to BPM and SOA
Business rule management systems (BRMS) combine with business process management systems (BPMS) to achieve the highest levels of process agility. A BRMS allows business policies to be managed separately from the rest of the application, eliminating the need to make policy changes to a BPM application through traditional software coding. This approach also means policies can be managed through BRMS-based decision services as part of a Service-oriented architecture (SOA). The resulting solutions provide for the continuous adjustment of processes in response to changing business conditions and allow business users to maintain the application, lowering IT maintenance costs. The BRMS market leader, ILOG is also the leader in technical integration with BPM vendors, including industry leaders Axway, BEA, EMC-Documentum, FileNet, Fuego, Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Vitria and W4. Currently, more than 30 Global 2000 organizations use ILOG’s BRMS products in combination with a BPM solution.

Oracle BPEL Process Manager, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, connects and coordinates business processes that span multiple departments and applications, combining processes and policies contained in disparate packaged applications and legacy systems into one platform. A key goal of Oracle’s BPM approach is to delegate the definition, coordination and execution of business processes to the business analysts – not IT – allowing them to visually define the business flows between applications, departments, business partners and individuals. ILOG JRules extends this functionality by allowing the business analysts to have access to the policies that are ultimately driving the business processes.

ILOG has consistently built on its history of product innovation to make ILOG JRules the industry’s leading business rule software. For the third year in a row, ILOG has been named to the leader quadrant of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Business Rule Engines and ILOG was recently named the BRMS market leader by IT research firm IDC. ILOG’s BRMS customers include eBay, Freddie Mac, Sabre, Zurich American and many other leading Global 2000 companies and governments worldwide.

ILOG is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
