Re: [bpel-dev] Re: question about deployment to Apache ODE 
As for the Ode deployment descriptor, you should take a look at the user
guide ( 
http://ode.apache.org/user-guide.html#UserGuide-DeploymentDescriptor) and
then look at the examples that come with Ode.

A deployment descriptor for your project might look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deploy xmlns="http://www.apache.org/ode/schemas/dd/2007/03";
xmlns:ns1="http://eclipse.org/bpel/sample";
xmlns:ns2="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/WSWUBlast";>
        <process name="ns1:sBlast">
        <active>true</active>
        <provide partnerLink="client">
            <service name="ns1:sBlastService" port="sBlastPort"/>
        </provide>
        <invoke partnerLink="blast">
            <service name="ns2:WSWUBlastService" port="WSWUBlast"/>
        </invoke>
    </process>
</deploy>
