What Is BPEL?
Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is:
A markup language for orchestrating services into an
end-to-end process flow
BPEL is a specialized language focused on the definition of
business processes. BPEL Process components are instances of BPEL
implementations that execute in the BPEL Process Manager service engine.
A BPEL Process receives messages and orchestrates, through
different invocation patterns, one or more services that contribute to
completing a business process flow.
Built on top of XML-related specifications
BPEL uses an XML-based vocabulary to describe business
processes, and is based on WSDL, XSD, and XPath specifications.
Executed by a BPEL engine that can process the BPEL XML source
Oracle SOA Suite 12c provides a runtime environment for
executing composite applications developed in BPEL.
