Creating a BPEL Process

You can now browse and use the shared data from a different SOA composite application. For this example, you create a BPEL process service component in a different application.

To create a BPEL process:

  1. Create a new BPEL process service component in a different application.
  2. In the Create BPEL Process dialog, click the Browse icon to the right of the Input field.

    The Type Chooser dialog appears.

  3. In the upper right corner, click the Import Schema File icon.

    The Import Schema File dialog appears.

  4. To the right of the URL field, click the Browse icon.

    The SOA Resource Browser dialog appears.

  5. At the top of the dialog, select SOA-MDS.
  6. Select shared data. For this example, the Quote.xsd file that you selected to include in the archive in Step 18 of "Create a JAR Profile and Include the Artifacts to Share is selected.
  7. Click OK.
  8. In the Import Schema File dialog, click OK.
  9. In the Type Chooser dialog, select a node of Quote.xsd (for this example, QuoteRequest), and click OK.
  10. In the Create BPEL Process dialog, click OK to complete creation.
  11. In the Applications window, select the WSDL file for the BPEL process.
  12. Click Source.

    The WSDL file includes the following definition.

    <wsdl:types>
  <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <import namespace="http://www.mycompany.com/ns/salesquote"
 schemaLocation="oramds:/apps/SOADemoComposite/xsd/Quote.xsd" />
  </schema>
</wsdl:types>
  13. Continue modeling the BPEL process as necessary.
  14. Deploy the SOA composite application that includes the BPEL process.

    The Type Chooser dialog includes a Recent Files folder in which information is kept for the duration of the Oracle JDeveloper session. For example, if you create a new BPEL process and want to define the input variable from a schema in the SOA Design-Time MDS Repository, you go there once. When you want to define the output variable from the same schema, the schema remains visible in the Recent Files folder.
