WHAT IS BEPL?

[Former Member]

Hi,

BPEL stands for Business Process Execution Langauge

WS-BPEL (Web Services Business Process Execution Language) provides a model for business processes based on Web services and is considered as one of the key building blocks of SOA. Currently, the language is under an OASIS standardization process

The new 2.0 version of the Web Services Business Process Execution Language will reach the status Committee Specification soon, and so will qualify for the approval as an OASIS standard. The question whether it will be as broadly embraced as its predecessor BPEL4WS version 1.1 remains to be answered. The 2.0 version introduces a number of new features, includes a number of improvements and addresses some shortcomings in version 1.1. These are probably good reasons to decide in favor of version 2.0. In the latest blog in the series of podcasts on WS-BPEL (see here) a number of changes in WS-BPEL 2.0 compared to BPEL4WS 1.1 have been discussed. In this blog I would like to discuss a particular one, the <forEach> activity, in more detail.
