ALF Dev Environment
Thanks for taking a shot at this.
That certainly sounds reasonable, at least for the POC Java based
developement. It doesn't happen to be what I currently have installed but
probably I should get the newer versions. It is definately an
advantage if we are all working with the same base platform.
When we address security we will need to
look again at WebService support. Axis2 looks like the best bet for
WS-Security but it is not complete yet. I haven't tried it
Strictly it is not correct to say ALF
"recommends" the Active BPEL engine but it is the engine we will
use for now. It is the most complete open source engine we have
tested so far and it seems to be very stable. Please note that it is
distributed under a GPL license so care should be taken to ensure there is no
mixing of code bases. The Oracle engine is not open source as far as I am
aware.
We have had some issues with the Oracle
Process Designer but it is probably the right place to start given that it is
in process of becoming an Eclipse project.
For a really quick introduction to BPEL
this presentation may be helpful if you haven't seen it already.

Dev Environment
Hello Alfers,
My goal is to have a guideline-tidy ALF dev
environment. I’ve read through the docs and here’s what I plan to use:
- Java JDK 1.5
- Eclipse 3.1
- Tomcat 5.5.9 /Axis 1.2.1 for Event Manager/Service Flow WS
and client jars
- ActiveBPEL 2.0 for Service Flow Engine
- Oracle BPEL Process Designer 10.1.2 Eclipse Plugin
The Oracle Process Designer plugin appeared to install fine
into eclipse 3.1. The Oracle BPEL engine appeared not to support tomcat,
plus ALF recommended ActiveBPEL anyway.
Any comments, advice?
The Oracle site has some good tutorials on BPEL, including a
hello world project:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/htdocs/dev_support.html#tutorials
Any recommended reading for ramping up quick on BPEL?
Thanks,
Bob
