Using WSIF with Oracle BPEL
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).

I confirm that at this point there is not tool to generate the Java or EJB bindings…which is a major pain. We are very much aware of this limitation and are working on it.
