Summary
This chapter showed you how you can use the NetBeans SOA tools and OpenESB
components to create simple and powerful BPEL processes, all visually through
wizards and property editors. Various parts of this sample showed you how to work
each of the binding components and introduced branching and flow in business
processes. The last part of the example showed the usage of intelligent event
processors to filter and process the stream based on application preferences.
You can use these techniques and tools to build a scalable business using BPEL as the
orchestration point.
Composite Applications
Whenever you need to deploy your BPEL process or IEP module, you have to deploy
them through a service assembly or a composite application.
A composite application is a service congregation consisting of business functionality
and information from disparate information sources. Composite applications are
both a form of integration, as well as application development. Typically, they are
created to support a company's business processes and map them to underlying
information resources.
If you have done any business integration, you will be well aware that integration is
a longtime messy issue for IT organizations and is the potential candidate for Web
services and SOA.
