Learn how to create a new application and SOA project and how to design a human task to send a vacation request to a manager for approval or rejection with the help of the tutorial.

The application developed in this tutorial is based on the following use-case:

• an employee submits a vacation request

• the manager approves or rejects the vacation request

• the employee receives a notification that approves or rejects their request

The SOA composite application contains the following components:

• A BPEL process

• A human task, for approving a vacation request submitted by an employee

It also describes how to create an Oracle ADF-based task form that enables the end user to act upon the vacation request once the application is deployed and running. To create an Oracle ADF-based task form you must create a new application and a new project.

This tutorial guides you through the following tasks:

• Using the SOA Composite Editor

• Using the Human Task Editor

• Modeling a single approval workflow using Oracle BPEL Designer

• Creating an Oracle ADF-based Oracle BPM Worklist

• Using Oracle BPM Worklist to view and respond to the task
