Build and Run a Simple Business Process

Part I of the tutorial is comprised of Steps 1 through 5. In this part, you learn how to create a new business process, specify how the process is started at run time, design a Decision node that includes asynchronous calls to a Web Service, and run and test the business process you create in this first part.

Specifically, the steps in Part I include:

Step 1: Create Your Business Process Application

Describes step-by-step instructions for creating a business process project in BEA Workshop.

Step 2: Specify How the Process is Started

Describes how to design the start of your business process. In this case, provides a step-by-step procedure to create a Client Request node, and add a method that receives the Request for Quote message from the client, which in turn causes the business process to start.

Step 3: Define Conditions for Alternate Paths of Execution

Describes how to design a decision node and its associated conditions in your business process. The path of execution through of a decision node is based on the evaluation of conditions you specify for the decision node.

Step 4: Invoke a Web Service

Describes how to design your business process's interaction with a Web Service control.

Step 5: Run Your Business Process

At this point, you have created a business process that you can run and test using the BEA Workshop Test Browser.

For information about how to work with the components and tools you use to design your business process in the BEA Workshop graphical design environment, see Working in the Design View.
