An Automatic Tool for Deployment of BPEL in ODE Apache

Abstract

Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) has become an important tool for composing new business processess from Web services and designing Grid workflows. However, running BPEL processes is often error prone procedure that involves a sequence o ftime consuming manual preparation. A deployment stage must be prepared to produce a specific deployment file, then all necessary files must be ensembled to a specific deployment directory, and finally, a BPEL engine has to perform the compilation and error checking to produce runnable BPEL processes. This paper presents a tool for automating the deployment stage of runnable BPEL processes.
