BPEL and Java Cookbook

Calling an asynchronous BPEL process from Java

This recipe explains how to call an asynchronous BPEL process from Java-based applications. Asynchronous communication is broadly used for long-running business processes. When a client invokes a long-running business process, it usually cannot wait long periods (days, weeks, and so on) for the response. Instead, the communication is closed, and a response from the business process is captured by listening for the callback. This recipe also uses the Apache AXIS package.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we call an asynchronous BPEL process. We enriched the sample scenario with the use of the Apache AXIS package. This allows us to receive an asynchronous callback from the BPEL process. We integrate the AXIS ...
