BPEL for Web Services co-author Matjaz Juric discusses the role of BPEL and its relationship with Java in TSS' latest article. The article introduces BPEL and concentrates on the idea of extending BPEL, to be able to compose resources other than web services (EJBs, JMS, etc), and the possibility to mix BPEL and Java code.
BPEL is an important language for the process-oriented approach to SOA. Because BPEL has been designed specifically for definition of business processes it provides good support for various specifics of business processes such as support for long running transactions, compensation, event management, correlation, etc. BPEL is well suited for use with the J2EE platform and many BPEL servers build on top of J2EE. With ideas of combing BPEL and Java (BPELJ), and WSIF, the usability of BPEL is even increasing. We should also look at the emerging JBI (Java Business Integration) specification aka JSR 208 which will give business integration and BPEL an even better documented position in the Java platform.
