JBoss BPEL project is a WS-BPEL 2.0 project that gives a way to create, edit, validate and deploy BPEL files to JBoss BPEL runtime. It is based on Eclipse BPEL project .
It improves the Eclipse BPEL project in the following way:
Implements close integration with JBoss BPEL runtime. Adds a new project type for the deployment to JBoss BPEL runtime.
Supports two ways of deployment: one way is to deploy a bpel project directly to JBoss BPEL runtime. The other way is to deploy bpel files in JBoss ESB project to JBoss BPEL runtime.
Improves the BPEL validator and increases Eclipse BPEL editor's quality.
WS-BPEL 2.0 stands for Web Service Business Process Execution Language. Like EAI, BPEL is an XML-based language, but BPEL is more specific and targeted. A programmer uses BPEL to join sometimes disparate functions into an integrated process, resulting in a seamless use of the Internet to conduct business transactions ranging from simple money exchanges to complex calculations and asset reallocation.
