Oracle BPM 11g - leveraging web services / parallel paths

In this simple scenario we augment the functionality from the previous post with the following –

Leverage web services to
o Validate Customer
o Check Inventory

This can be done in parallel, so let's implement it!


Create demo web service

See Appendix A for Java class which you can deploy as a web service to the AdminServer.







Test the web services from WLS console





Copy the wsdl
o E.g. http://1.1.1.1:7001/BPM-DEMO-WS-BPM-DEMO-WS-context-root/OrderServicePort?WSDL

Drag & drop a Web Service in composite.xml









Create variables to hold the operation responses




Create Check Inventory ServiceTask





Create validateCustomer Service task





Add parallel processing






Connect as follows –



Deploy & Test
Non-domestic



View instance tracking in em console





Zoom in to ValidateCustomer





I will implement the required error handling in the next post

Deploy as a J2EE 1.5 web service with annotations
