BPEL File Navigator

The Navigator displays projects, folders, and files located in the ActiveBPEL workspace folder. You must create a project before creating a BPEL process. For details, see Creating Projects and Folders.

After you create or import projects and files, you can display the Navigator for a convenient view of files to work with in the Process Editor. The Navigator is a mirror of the file system Workspace folder.

ActiveBPEL is installed with a project called Samples that is not in your workspace. You can import it into the Navigator.

We recommend you store all files within workspace projects for easy access from within ActiveBPEL.

Tips for using the Navigator:

• Add projects and files to the Navigator by dragging them in from the file system
• Import projects and files. For more information, see Importing existing projects and Importing resources from the file system in the Workbench User Guide Help.
• Copy and paste files from the file system
• Add files to the project workspace in the file system and then use the Refresh command to update the Navigator. For more information, see Workbench and Editing files outside the Workbench in the Workbench User Guide Help.
• Use the many tools in the Navigator to filter, show, hide, and navigate through files. For more information, see Navigator view in the Workbench User Guide Help.
• For a tip on copying BPEL files to new locations, see Preserving BPEL Layout With VBPEL Files
