Deploying JCD- Based Operations in the Business Process Manager

You can deploy a Java Collaboration Definition-based component as an Activity in a Sun Business Process Manager Business Process. Once you associate the desired component with an Activity, Sun Business Process Manager invokes it using a Web Services interface. Sun Enterprise Service Bus components that can interface with Sun Business Process Manager include the following:

• Java Messaging Service (JMS)

• Object Type Definitions (OTDs)

• Adapters

• Collaborations

Using the NetBeans IDE and Sun Business Process Manager, you can add an Activity to a Business Process, then associate that Activity with Sun Enterprise Service Bus component, for example, an adapter. Then, when Sun Business Process Manager runs the Business Process, it automatically invokes that component using its Web Services interface.
