BPEL Designer Kick Start - NetBeans

BPEL Designer Kick Start
This tutorial illustrates
deploying, executing and
testing a synchronous BPEL
process using NetBeans
5.5 with Enterprise Pack. A
synchronous BPEL process represents
a simple synchronous flow: it takes an
input message and sends that message
back synchronously. A client starts the
synchronous process by invoking a request-response
operation. After invocation,
the client is blocked until the process
finishes and returns the result.
Configuring the
environment
Before you can deploy
your application, the Sun
Java System Application
Server and JBI runtime
must be configured correctly
and running. To configure
the environment:
1. Click the Runtime
tab to open the Runtime window, and expand
the Servers node.

2. If you have a default Enterprise Pack
installation the Servers node already contains
a Sun Java System Application Server
9 node. In the Runtime window, right-click
this node and choose Start. If the Start option
is not available, the server is already
running and you can skip the next step.
3. Wait until a completion message
appears in the Output window (see
Figure 1). When the server is running,
the IDE displays a green arrow on the
Sun Java System Application Server 9 node.
Creating the sample project
From the IDE’s main menu, choose File>New Project. In the
Categories list, select Samples>Service Oriented Architecture, and
then Synchronous BPEL Process (see Figure 2).
Click Next. In the Project Name field, type “SynchronousSample”
(this is the default value). Optionally in the Project Location field,
use Browse to select a different folder for the project files.
Click Finish. The Projects window now contains two project
nodes: one for a BPEL project called SynchronousSample,
and one for a Composite Application project called
SynchronousSampleApplication.
Note that there is a broken reference in the
SynchronousSampleApplication node. This is expected. The
Composite Application has a dependency on the JBI Module. We’ll
resolve the broken reference later in the article, when we deploy
the project.
