Usage

To add the Partner Link element to the BPEL process, do one of the following:

• Drag the Partner Link element from the Palette to the diagram.

• Drag a WSDL file node from the same project in the Projects window to the diagram.

• Drag a WSDL file node from a different project in the Projects window to the diagram.

• Drag a web service node from an EJB project or a Web Application project in the Projects window to the diagram.

Note: When you drag the web service node, the BPEL Designer retrieves the WSDL file from the Application Server. To successfully retrieve the WSDL file, the Application Server has to be running and the web service project must be deployed.

When you drag the Partner Link element, a WSDL file node, or a web service node to the diagram, the Partner Link Property Editor appears.
