  2. Business Process Execution Language for web services • Introduction • BPEL in Theory • BPEL in Practice BPEL for Web Services Warwick Bailey www.icodeon.com

  3. www.icodeon.com BPEL for Web ServicesCombining Atomic Web Services into a Composite Web Service BPEL is a second generation language, building on prior work by Microsoft, IBM. Standardisation now managed by Oasis. www.icodeon.com

  4. www.icodeon.com JISC e-Learning FrameworkFunctionality Factored into Atomic Web Services www.icodeon.com

  5. www.icodeon.com BPEL for JISC Web ServicesCombining Web Services from the JISC e-Learning Framework into a Composite Web Service Three services from the JISC e-Learning framework can be combined to create a formative assessment application. www.icodeon.com

  6. www.icodeon.com BPEL for JISC Web ServicesThe Composite Service is Exposed through WSDL WSDL WSDL WSDL WSDL Each atomic web service is exposed through WSDL. The composite service is exposed through WSDL. This hierarchy leads to a recursive aggregation architecture. www.icodeon.com

  7. www.icodeon.com Composite Service - Formative Assessment ApplicationQuestions and Content Shown to the Student according to Sequencing Rules www.icodeon.com

  8. www.icodeon.com Formative Assessment ApplicationJISC Funded “ASSIS” Project University of Hull University of Strathclyde (QTI Service) Icodeon Ltd, Cambridge (Sequencing Service) Stanford University Using BPEL to build a formative assessment application from individual, atomic, services in the JISC e-Learning Framework. www.icodeon.com

  10. www.icodeon.com BPEL In TheoryDevelopment Process from Design to Deployment 9 Steps …. www.icodeon.com

  11. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 1Identify the partners in the process 4 partners are defined – the process itself, and the three atomic web service www.icodeon.com

  12. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 2Declare the Partners in the Process <partnerLink name="questionPartnerLinkType"> <partnerRole endpointReference="static"> <wsa:EndpointReferencexmlns:assis=http://www.icodeon.com/services/assis/> <wsa:Address>http://www.scormtech.com/isis/services/QTIRun</wsa:Address> <wsa:ServiceName PortName="SOAPPort">assis:QTIRun</wsa:ServiceName> </wsa:EndpointReference> </partnerRole> </partnerLink> XML declaration for one of the partners. In this case, the QTI Run partner is named as “questionPartnerLinkType” www.icodeon.com

  13. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 3Design the workflow of the process www.icodeon.com

  14. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 4Define up the workflow process • Select content package (Content Packaging Service) • Find first item to sequence (Sequencing Service) • Get the resource type for the item • If the resource type is QTI xml (Content Packaging Service) • Get the QTI xml (Content Packaging Service) • Render the QTI xml as XHTML fragment (QTI Service) • Return XHTML to browser www.icodeon.com

  15. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 5Declare the Process Using BPEL Activity Constructs <process> <partners/> <receive/> <invoke/> <invoke/> <invoke/> <reply/> </process> www.icodeon.com

  16. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 6Add Business Logic Using BPELConstructs <sequence/> <flow/> <link/> <switch/> <throw/> <scope/> <while/> <pick/> <copy/> <assign/> www.icodeon.com

  17. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 7Use XPath if Required <case condition="bpws:getVariableData('_sequencingRequest', ‘token/navigationToken')='start'"> www.icodeon.com

  18. www.icodeon.com BPEL Step 8Validate Process <invoke inputVariable="_runID" name="SSRun_GetTitle" operation="getTitle" outputVariable="_title" partnerLink="sequencingPartnerLinkType" portType="ns1:sequencingServicePort"/> <invoke inputVariable="_runID" name="SSRun_GetPreorderIndex" operation="getPreorderIndex" outputVariable="_index" partnerLink="sequencingPartnerLinkType" portType="ns1:sequencingServicePort"/> <invoke inputVariable="_packageID_itemID" name="CPRun_getResourceType" operation="getResourceType" outputVariable="_resourceType" partnerLink="packagePartnerLinkType" portType="ns1:packageServicePort"/> <switch> <case condition="bpws:getVariableData('_resourceType', 'stringType')='webcontent'"> www.icodeon.com
