Exploring the BPEL Module Project in the Projects Window

A typical BPEL Module project contains a BPEL source file, WSDL and XSD files.

Take a look at the artifacts you have created:

1. In the Projects window, expand the created BPELModule1 node and the Process Files node.

   The Process Files node contains these items:

   • newProcess.bpel, the BPEL process

   • newWSDL.wsdl, the process web service interface.

   

2. Double-click the newProcess.bpel node.

   Notice the following:

   • The newProcess.bpel diagram opens in the Design view.

     The Design view is the area where you can visually model business processes. The BPEL Designer automatically generates BPEL code that corresponds to the visual design.

   • The Source view for newProcess.bpel can be invoked by clicking the Source button.

   • The Palette of BPEL elements opens in the Design view to the right of the design area.

   • The Properties window opens for a selected element below the Palette.

   • The Navigator window shows the BPEL Logical View of the BPEL process.

   • The BPEL Mapper window appears in the bottom (if it does not appear automatically, choose Window > Other > BPEL Mapper from the main menu).

   

3. Double-clicking the newWSDL.wsdl node opens the WSDL Editor where you can view and modify your newWSDL.wsdl file. For more information see Working with WSDL Files
