Using WSIF with Oracle BPEL

Filed under: — andrejk @ 7:40 am

Oracle BPEL Process Manager uses Apache WSIF to enable you to call non web services as part of your BPEL process. This, for example, allows you to easily invoke EJB’s. I couldn’t locate any documentation describing how to use WSIF with Oracle BPEL. At first, i was looking for a tool to generate a WSIF WSDL file for an existing EJB, but i don’t think it currently exists. Looks like you have to manually create a wsdl file with wsif tags, which you can use when you add a new partner link in the BPEL designer. The easiest way to do this is by copying one of the existing wsdl/wsif files from the examples (look under samples/tutorials/702.Bindings).
