Creating the XML Schema and the WSDL Document

Generally, the steps used to create a BPEL module project are:

1. Create a New BPEL Project

2. Create the XML Schema or XSD file

3. Create the WSDL Documents

4. Create the BPEL Process

The XSD file (XML Schema) helps to define the projects message structure or operations. Complex message structures are defined in the XSD file and imported into the WSDL Document. The WSDL Documents define the interfaces for the project. The BPEL Designer enables you to graphically design your BPEL business process.
