WPS-T Apache ODE BPEL Implementation

This page is intended to document the implementation of the Apache ODE BPEL Implementation The current version (as of 22-12-09 rev. 1076 in svn (wps-lcr branch) is working with the supplied deploy testmethod.

• running ODE-1.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 and Tomcat-6.0.18
• Invoke is not yet implemented
• ContainsProcess does not seem to work because of versioning in ODE
• I seem to have random problems with http TimeOuts to the ODE server when connecting from wps-t => needs investigation
• several paths are hardcoded to create temporary files => need to be consolidated to the tempfolder of tomcat

Because ODE supports versioned processes, the check to see if a process is already deployed is questionable. How do you detect whether you want to change a process.

ODE has a compiler that checks the deploy.xml, *.bpel and *.wsdl files. We could implement that check client side before submitting the bpel process to the server.
