Abstract

There are numerous Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) modeling tools available on the market today that differ in their power and ability to transform patterns into executable BPEL code. Patterns describe business requirements and thus define the needs in workflow languages and their related modeling tools. Patterns are used as a basis to compare these tools.

In this student research paper should be examined to which extend the control-flow patterns presented in [1] are supported by IBM WebSphere Integration Developer V6.0 on IBM WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms V6.0. IBM WebSphere Integration Developer uses the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services version 1.1 (BPEL4WS) as the basis but already implements functionality of WS-BPEL version 2.0. Control-flow patterns include basic control patterns, patterns involving multiple instances, state-based patterns and cancellation patterns.

The BPEL and the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) source code of the implementations are listed in the appendix.
