ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide
Every BPEL process requires an interface for Web interaction activities, like receives and invokes. The interface is a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file, which describes the services and messages to be exchanged in an orchestration. Designer provides several easy ways for you to add, import, or create WSDL files, namely through:
When you add a new WSDL file to Designer, it is available for all processes.
By adding WSDL files and schemas, you have a convenient registry of namespaces, messages, type definitions, sample data, and other elements to use across BPEL processes. To make your work quick and easy, product wizards help you jump-start process design by automatically including the WSDL elements needed.
In addition, when you add a WSDL, you can add sample data files for message variables and make the data available for testing and debugging your process.
To display WSDL interfaces, click the Interfaces tab. The following illustration shows the default view.
WSDL files are XML-based files that contain the namespace declarations, type declarations, messages, and other element definitions that you can use to create business processes. WSDL files conform to the Web Services Description Language standard authored by a World Wide Web Consortium committee.
ActiveBPEL supports Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1, a W3C Note dated 15 March 2001. For more information about this standard, see http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.
