You have adopted WS-* and have Web services, but Web services alone are not going to give you the SOA bang for the buck. The full SOA picture is really about Business Processes, and that's where the Business Process Execution Language (aka BPEL or more formally WS-BPEL) comes in. In this session, we'll talk about the fuller SOA picture, the respective roles of Business Processes and Services, and BPEL. A VMware Virtual Machine will be provided, and we will be doing hands-on BPEL development, using various parts of the Apache SOA Stack, especially including our Apache ODE project for executing BPEL.
