BPEL Service Engine Enhancements

The following enhancements were made to the BPEL SE for this release:

• Exceptions defined in referenced resources can be selected from a fault name selector instead of needing to be typed in manually (NetBeans Issue 173313).

• The BPEL SE can initiate a transaction context (TX) even when the BPEL SE does not have persistence enabled. To support this, a new optional attribute named atomicTxType was added to the BPEL process element (NetBeans Issue 169664).

• A new Java function in the BPEL menu of the Mapper allows you to call the classes and methods of your project JAR files and referenced resources.

• Validation for the doXslTranform function checks that the specified XSL file can be found (NetBeans Issue 163856).

• You can navigate to EJB modules from partner links in a BPEL process (NetBeans Issue 124684).

• Clicking on a referenced resource node brings up a dialog box that allows you to edit the resource (NetBeans Issue 164161).

• Application variables are supported with the BPEL SE (Issue 1251).

• BPEL process can be dynamically invoked directly from another BPEL process without going through the HTTP BC (Issue 2060).

• The BPEL SE has graphical support for configuring Normalized Message properties.
