BPEL 100 Success Secrets – Business Process Execution Language for Web Services- THE XML-based language for the formal specification of business processes, … protocols and SOA based integration

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Excellent introduction to BPEL – the business process execution language. A number of Web services orchestration / process tools are based on BPEL but hide the language behind a drag-and-drop GUI. To effectively use these tools, though, you have to understand the concepts that make up BPEL – scopes, partner links, correlation sets etc. This book likely provides the best introduction to these concepts. Examples are given in raw BPEL as well as using Oracle BPEL Manager and Microsoft BizTalk. There is coverage of advanced topics, such as correlation and convoys, a great introduction to BPEL best practices. In summary, if you are interested specifically in BPEL, this is likely the book you want to get.

SOA Cookbook: Master SOA process architecture, modeling, and simulation in BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks, and BEA’s Weblogic Integration

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
In Detail

SOA Cookbook covers process-oriented SOA. BPEL is the best-known language in this area, and this book presents numerous BPEL examples. It also studies proprietary vendor process languages such as TIBCO’s BusinessWorks and BEA’s Weblogic Integration. If you are building SOA processes in the field, chances are you are using one of the languages discussed in SOA Cookbook. The book assumes that the reader is comfortable with XML and web services.

Author Michael Havey works with SOA in the field for TIBCO (and previously for IBM, BEA, and Chordiant). SOA Cookbook is Michael’s second book. Essential Business Process Modeling, his first book, was published in 2005.

What you will learn from this book?

Document a process-based SOA architecture using “enhanced 4+1″, ARIS, SCA, UML, and BPMN
Learn by example how to separate BPM and SOA processes
Model choreography and orchestration in BPMN and BPEL
Divide a process that involves both manual and automated activities between BPM and SOA
Manage state in short- and long-running processes
Model processes intelligently using three variants of a structured “flat form” approach: event-based, state-based, and flow-based
Develop dynamic processes to manage the “change problem”: problems that arise when you need to change the definition of a process that has live cases in production
Simulate SOA processes using concepts from discrete event simulation and the Poisson process
Measure the complexity of SOA processes

Approach

As a cookbook, this book can be regarded as a set of gourmet recipes for SOA. Each of the eight chapters that follow the introductory chapter covers an important concept in process-based SOA and teaches techniques to build solutions based on the concept. Working examples are developed in BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks and BEA’s Weblogic Integration.

Who this book is written for?

The book is intended for hands-on SOA architects, designers, and developers who want to learn techniques in process orchestration. Many of these readers use, or will soon start using, languages such as BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks, or BEA’s Weblogic Integration in their projects.

This intermediate-level book assumes that the reader is comfortable reading XML and knows the basic concepts of web services. The book presents several BPEL and BPMN examples, but it explains specific language constructs on the fly; the reader need not have background in these languages.

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.

Product Description
Ten practical real-world case studies combining business process management and web services orchestration

Real-world BPEL recipes for SOA integration and Composite Application development
Combining business process management and web services orchestration
Techniques and best practices with downloadable code samples from ten real-world case studies

In Detail
Service Oriented Architecture is generating a buzz across the whole IT industry. Propelled by standards-based technologies like XML, Web Services, and SOAP, SOA is quickly moving from pilot projects to mainstream applications critical to business operations. One of the key standards accelerating the adoption of SOA is Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL).

BPEL was created to enable effective composition of web services in a service-oriented environment. In the past two years, BPEL has become the most significant standard to elevate the visibility of SOA from IT to business level. BPEL is not only commoditizing the integration market, but it is also offering organizations a whole new level of agility – ability to rapidly change applications in response to the changing business landscape. BPEL enables organizations to automate their business processes by orchestrating services within and across the firewall. It forces organizations to think in terms of services. Existing functionality is exposed as services. New applications are composed using services. Communication with external vendors and partners is through services. Services are reused across different applications. Services are, or should be, everywhere!

What you will learn from this book?

In the Packt book Business Process Execution Language for Web Services by Matjaz Juric, we learnt about the building blocks and how these technologies could be used to build a simple SOA solution. As organizations increase their SOA footprint, IT Managers, Architects, and developers are starting to realize that the impact of SOA on IT and business operations can be immense. After having gained confidence with web services, they want to take it to the next level. However, adopters are challenged with some basic questions – How do I SOA-enable my existing integration investment? Can I build flexible and agile business processes? How can I administer my SOA environment without spending a fortune? There have been various best practices defined around SOA, but to date these have been somewhat abstract and lacking a real-world basis. The IT community is looking for real-world examples; examples of how other companies are embarking on an SOA initiative and how to apply that industry learning to their own projects.

What makes this a Cookbook? After you have been exposed to the different ingredients (BPEL, WSDL, and web services), this book takes the adventure to the next level by helping you cook new recipes (SOA applications) using efficient kitchen techniques (best practices). 10 SOA practitioners have gotten together to share their SOA best practices and provide practical viewpoints to tackle many of the common problems SOA promises to solve. Their recommendations are based on projects in production; their existing projects could be your next ones. Through this process you’ll learn the techniques and gain the confidence to create and deliver the recipe that’s right for your particular situation.
