Chapter 5: Oracle BPEL Process Manager and BPEL Designer: Overview
In this chapter, we will get familiar with the Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10g Release 2, a server for deployment, execution, and management of business processes defined in BPEL. Oracle BPEL Process Manager offers several features that make it one of the most powerful BPEL servers at the time of writing this book. We will look at the BPEL Server, command prompt utilities, and the BPEL Console. We will also look at the BPEL Designer, an integrated graphical development environment. BPEL Designer is available integrated into JDeveloper or as Eclipse plug-in. BPEL Designer enables BPEL process development using a graphical editor instead of writing BPEL code by hand. It supports debugging, provides several wizards, enables automatic deployment of BPEL processes, and thus eases the development and maintenance of BPEL processes considerably.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following:

• Architecture of the BPEL Process Manager

• Major features

• Process deployment

• Management and debugging of processes with BPEL Console

• Graphical development with JDeveloper BPEL Designer

• Graphical development with Eclipse BPEL Designer
