BPS

WSO2 Business Process Server (BPS) is packaged with WSO2 Message Broker (MB), which implements Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). Therefore, any JMS client or an AMQP client can directly talk to the WSO2 BPS. This article describes how to configure WSO2 BPS as a JMS sever and as a JMS client to talk to external services with Active MQ and Apache Qpid.

This article discusses multi-tenancy aspect in a cloud computing environment and some of the concerns of hosting business processes in the cloud. WSO2 Business Process as a Service supports development and easy deployment of business processes modeled using the WS-BPEL standard in a multi-tenanted environment. Also it provides functionality for business process management and hosting in the cloud.

WSO2 Business Process Server(WSO2 BPS) consists of many features essential in successfully deploying, managing and viewing high level business processes.The deployment descriptor holds the basic configuration information like process state, provided services by the process etc. which decides the behavior of a bpel process. This article describes how to configure and manage a business process by using its deployment descriptor.

By default all WSO2 products shipped with a self signed certificate. In-order to make products more secure, many users prefer to install a CA signed certificate into the product. This KB describes steps to install a CA signed certificate into WSO2 products.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a pattern most often used to integrate heterogeneous systems. If business decisions written as rules can be exposed as services, then business rules can also be integrated into SOA systems. The WSO2 Business Rules Server (BRS) can be used to expose business rules as web services, while the WSO2 Business Process Server (BPS) is used to integrate different services and provide composite functionality in a standard manner using Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). This article describes an example of how to integrate business rules with a such SOA system.

Web Services Business Process Execution Language or WS-BPEL lets people orchestrate tasks and activities exposed as Web services. WSO2 Business Process Server can execute process descriptions written in WS-BPEL. Since BPEL is structured and based on XML, it is now far easier for business users to model and execute business processes using open source graphical tools like Eclipse BPEL Designer. This tutorial describes how to Develop a WS-BPEL Processes using WSO2 Developer Studio.

SOA really starts demonstrating its value when a business platform of reusable Web services emerges. Combining existing assets in new ways to enable new business processes accelerates the enterprise and contributes to the “innovation quotient” of the business. As these new applications emerge there is a need for higher level tools for defining and building new business logic, decision trees, and sophisticated orchestration. Orchestration technologies are adopted for many purposes, including:

WSO2 Business Process Server (WSO2 BPS) is able to operate in different environments and setups and the objective of this post is to make the user familiar with one such scenario, i.e. deploying WSO2 Business Process Server 2.0.2 on JBoss 5.1.0.
