Correlation
Tracks the multiple long-running exchanges of messages that
typically take place between a BPEL process and its partner services.
The correlation mechanism helps to route messages to appropriate process
instances.

Invoke
Invokes a one-way or request-response operation on a portType
offered by a partner. It enables the business process to send messages
to partners. The operation is defined in the partner's WSDL file.

Basic Activities
|
Assign
Assigns values to variables. You use the Assign element to copy
data from one variable to another, construct and calculate the values
of expressions, and store new data in variables. Expressions are required
to perform simple computation or operate message selections, properties,
and literal constants to produce a new value for variables.

(E4X), rather than using XPath 1.0.

Validate
Validates the values of variables against their associated XML
and WSDL data definition. The element includes a Variables property
that lists the variables for the process, and allows you to specify
which variables to validate. When one or more variables prove invalid
against a corresponding XML definition, a standard fault, bpel:invalidVariables, is thrown.

Structured Activities
|
If
Supports conditional behavior of a business process instance.
The If activity consists of conditional branches defined by the If
and Else If elements, followed by an optional Else branch. The conditions
on If and Else If branches are evaluated in the order they appear.
During execution, the first branch whose condition holds true is taken
and provides the activity specified for the If activity. In other
words, if there are several Else If branches whose conditions hold
true, only the first of them will be executed.

RepeatUntil
Repeatedly executes one or more activities as long as specific

element contains other elements that are repeated until the success

true, the activities listed will be executed once.

Pick
Blocks a process and waits until a specified events occurs.
After one of the specific event occurs, the activity associated with
this event is performed. The possible events are the arrival of a
message or a timer-based alarm. The selected activity is dependent
upon which event occurs first.

Flow
Defines a set of activities that will execute concurrently (in
parallel). This is a structured activity, containing other activities
separated into individual control paths or branches. You can embed
as many paths in the activity as you want, and they will all be executed
simultaneously.
