WS-CDL

WS-BPEL XML-based language for the specification of business processes with several web

services.

Evolved from Microsofts„ XLANG (graph based) and IBMs WS-FL (algebraic).

Current version WS-BPEL Version 2.0 – Standardized draft by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards).

Predecessor BPEL4WS 1.1 (2003) by BEA, IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Siebel

Similar to higher imperative programming languages (if, while,..).

BPEL is based on XML Schema, XPath and WSDL.

Recursive composition : BPEL process is itself a WS (WSDL with PortTypes, Operations, …)

Orchestration vs. Choreography

WS-OrchestrationAn executable business

process under the control

of a central entity

WS-Choreography

describes rules for the interchange of

messages between entities, no central

Activities for the Interaction with Partners

<receive …/> Process receives a call on an provided operation from a partner

(block, process waits for call)

<reply …/> Process sends reply message to the requesting partner

(synchronized communication)

<invoke …/> Process calls an operation from a partner WS

<receive> ... <reply> Simple Synchronous BPEL Process

Source: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-bpelcol2/

1. Call processes (WS) from client partner

2. Accept the SOAP message

<receivepartnerLink="b” portType="SellerPT" operation=“sell" variable=“var_received“createInstance="yes"/>

Saves received message:

correspons with received message

type (WSDL)

Starts an instance of the BPEL

processes (BPEL scripts are

executed)

3-5. Call a partner WS with <invoke>

6. Send reply to client with <reply>

<reply

partnerLink="selling" portType="SellerPT" operation=“sell" variable=“var_reply"/>

like

<receive>

Reply message for the client; corresponds with

output message type of the opreation „sell“

(WSDL)

Optional ( redundant)

<invoke>

Synchronized call of an external Partner-WS via invoke

<invokepartnerLink="buying" portType="SellerPT" operation="buy" inputVariable=“var_send" outputVariable=“var_receive"/>

Ext. WS(SellerPT)

buy(itemid)

Synchronous vs. Asynchronous BPEL processes Synchronous BPEL Processes: Reply direclty within the same TCP-

connection (Client is blocked and waits…).

WSDL interface of the processes (external: Operation): Request-Response type

<process> …

<receive …> <!– Initiierend --> . .... do processing .....

<reply …>

</process>

Asynchronous Processes: No reply or within a new connection – call a call back method of the clients (client does not wait)

WSDL interface of the processes: Request-only! Type

<process> …

<receive …> <!– Initiierend --> ....... Perform time-consuming processing .....

<invoke …> …

</process>

Data Handling - Variables

BPEL variable types are WSDL message types,

XML simple types or a

XML schema element.

<variables>

<variable name=“address“ messageType=“…"/>

<variable name="itemid“ type="xsd:int"/>

<variable name=“name“ element=“…"/>

…</variables>

Variables – value assignment (I)

Assignment with <assign> Sources are Variable contents, XPath expressions or literales.

Strong static type safety.

<assign><copy>

<from>1000</from><to variable="maxprice“/>

</copy>

<copy><from variable=“itemID”/><to variable=“ibis_request“ part=“itemIDPart”>

</copy>

<copy>

<from>$HelloOperationOut.parameters/return</from>

<to variable="OperationOut" part="main“

query=“/rueck/return</to>

</copy>

</assign>

Literal

Variable content

Message Type, attribute “part”,

XPATH 1.0 Expression: part as a combined type

Implicit value assignemnt with Receive<message name="creditInformationMessage">

<part name="firstName" type="xsd:string"/>

<part name="lastName" type="xsd:string"/>

<part name="amount" type="xsd:integer"/>

</message>

<variable name=”requestLoan” messageType=”creditInformationMessage”/>

...

<receive partnerLink="loanRequester" portType="loanProcess" operation="processLoanRequest" variable=”requestLoan”/>

WSDL

BPEL

The variable contrains the results of a request



Sequence Activities are executed in a sequential order

while Defines cyclic behavior

switch alternative selection, based on the evaluation of an expression

pick Event based, alternative selection, executes the first received

occurrence

flow Parallel activity

<sequence> Sequentiell execution

<sequence>

<invoke ../>

<receive../>

<invoke ../>

</sequence>

invoke

receive

invoke

<while>

As long as the condition is satisfied, do…

<while condition= "getVariableData('counter') > 12">

<!– some activities -->

</while>

The BPEL function getVariableData takes a variable as

argument… as well as optional a part of it and a XPath expression

(Message Type)

getVariableData(„variableName„ „main‟ ‟/counter‟)

<switch> Multiple case differentiation – only executes the branches with fulfilled

conditions.

Otherwise will be executed, if no other branch is selected (like “default” in Java)

<switch>

<case condition = "getVariableData(account) > 1000">

<reply partnerLink=“customer" operation=“helloIHaveMoney“variable=“MoneyPlus"/>

</case>

<case …

</case>

<otherwise>

<reply partnerLink=“customer" operation=“helloIHaveMoney“variable=“MoneyMinus"/>

</otherwise>

</switch>

<pick>

Event-based distinction: execute the first event occurence

<pick>

<onMessage partnerLink=”” portType=”” operation=””>

<!– some activities>

</onMessage>

<onMessage partnerLink=”” portType=”” operation=””>

<!– some activities>

</onMessage>

<pick>

Parallel Execution <flow>

Executed all child activities of <flow> in parallel

… and then wait, till all child are finished

<flow>

<invoke partnerLink="Lufthansa" operation=“getCheapestFlight" … />

<invoke partnerLink="Hapag Lloyd" operation=" getCheapestFlight " … />

<invoke partnerLink="BBA" operation=" getCheapestFlight " … />

<invoke partnerLink="Air Berlin" operation=" getCheapestFlight " … />

</flow>

<links> - dependencies within <flow>

<links> - modelling of dependencies between activities of a flow (directed graph).

<flow>

<links><link name=“firstBookFlightThenRentCar">

</links>

<invoke partnerLink="Lufthansa" operation=“bookFlight“ ..>

<source linkName="firstBookFlightThenRentCar“

transitionCondition=“getVariableData('var_receive‟ „main‟ ‟booking_state‟)=„true‟"/>

Motivation: State management via Correlation Sets

Source: http://developer.capeclear.com

Need for processes with several (blocking)

<receive> activities

Simple Example., process with two synchronous operations: setValue and getValue

setValue set a value, which will be retrieve by getValue

setValue starts a new process instance

In case of several „waiting“ instances: which instance should be assigned to the getValueoperations call? (new TCP conn.)

Solution: transfer unique identifier in the instance of a message (like cookies with Session-IDs)

Correlation Sets - Process Instance Routing

Different parties (bank, transport service, etc.) create transaction IDs.

BPEL: A correlationSet identifies uniquely the interaction of the process instance with a partner AccountID of the bank + account number of the customer

OrderID of the supplier

Session-ID

etc.

A correlationSet consists of at least on property

Properties are transported in a SOAP message

If the property values are equal with the values of the correlationSet of a process instance then the request will be assigned to the process instance by the BPEL-Engine

Otherwise the message will be ignored

Correlation Sets and Properties Define appropriate Property Elements , which uniquely assigns the message to a

process instance

<property name=“identifier" type="xsd:string"/>

Then PropertyAlias elements define an alias per request message, which show where the message can be found(Spezification of message type, part, XPath query).

<propertyAlias propertyName="identifier“messageType="setValueRequestMessage“

part="request“ query="/SetValue/Identifier"/>

<propertyAlias messageType="getValueRequestMessage“ part="request"

propertyName="identifier“ query="/GetValue/Identifier"/>

Define correlation sets (sets of properties)

<correlationSets>

<correlationSet name="instanceID“ properties="identifier" />

</correlationSets>

WSDL

WSDL

BPEL

<property name=“identifier" type="xsd:string"/>

<propertyAlias propertyName="identifier“ messageType="setValueRequestMessge

part="request“ query="/SetValue/Identifier"/>

<propertyAlias propertyName="identifier“ messageType="getValueRequestMessage“

…

<correlationSets>

<correlationSet name="instanceID“ properties="identifier" />

</bpws:correlationSets>

…

<receive partnerLink="client" operation="setValue" portType=“…“

createInstance="yes" variable="setValueRequestMessage">

<correlations> <correlation set="instanceID" initiate="yes/> </correlations>

</receive>

…

<receive partnerLink="client" portType="ns:Correlation"

operation="getValue" variable="getValueRequestMessage>

<correlations> <correlation set="instanceID" /></correlations>

Throw-Catch – Execption Handling (I) Several ways to handle faults (BPEL Exceptions)

WSDL Fault Message as reply to synchronous WS call

Automated failure signaling of the BPEL RE: wrong configuration, network communication error, etc.

Internal, explicit failure signaling with throw activity:

<throw faultName="NoDatabaseConnectionFault"/>

Not handled failure -> stop process, are not automatically forwarded to the client

faultHandlers: except if they are captured by Fault Handler; Fault Handler handles failure, by defining flows for specific failures

<faultHandlers><catch faultName="NoDatabaseConnectionFault">



</faultHandlers>

Throw Example

<switch>

<case condition="getVariableData('BookResponse', 'confirmation', '/confirmation/accepted')='true'">



<invoke partnerLink="Client„portType="buy:ClientCallbackPT„operation="ClientCallback„inputVariable="BookResponse" />

</case>

<otherwise> 

<throw faultName="CreditCardNotAccepted"/>

</otherwise>

</switch>

Catch Example<process ...>

<partnerLinks> ... </partnerLinks><variables> ... </variables><faultHandlers>

<catch faultName="CreditCardNotAccepted" >

<invoke partnerLink="Client" portType="buy:ClientCallbackPT„operation="ClientCallbackFault" inputVariable="Fault"/>

</catch>

<catch ... >

</catch>...<catchAll> 

</catchAll>

</faultHandlers>

<sequence> ... </sequence>

</process>

Copy failure info in the variable „Fault“ of Fault-

Message-Types

<assign><copy><from expression="string(‘Credit

Card Not Accepted')" /><to variable="Fault" part="error" />

</copy></assign>

Scopes and Fault Handling I

Scopes split complex processes into several contexts (sub processes)

Scopes can be defined sequentially or nested (hierarchically) -outermost scope:= <process>

Scopes allow defining different fault handler for different groups of activities (e.g. <sequence> or <flow>).

Additionally local variables can be defined in scopes, which are not visible outside of the scopes (but in sub scopes!)

Scopes allow additional definition of own Correlation Sets, Event Handler, etc.

Not handled faults within a scope -> forward to super scope… until <process>

Scopes and Faults Handling II<scope name=„Subprocess“> …

<!– some outer scope activities -->

<scope name=„SubSubProcess“>

<variables>  </variables>

<correlationSets>  </correlationSets>

<faultHandlers>  </faultHandlers>

<compensationHandler>  </compensationHandler>

<eventHandlers> <!– local --> </eventHandlers>



</scope>

<!– some outer scope activities, e.g. <sequence> or <flow> -->

</scope>

Global Fault Handler allow controlled reaction on faults

But: Process jumps into failure handling routine and terminates

Scoped faultHandler: Local fault handing, process might continue … or, if no further process execution is possible

Rollback: call compensationHandlers of already executed scopes -> roll-back their activities -> consistence

Sequence with three Scopes and Fault in the third scope.

Transaction Control: Rollback

Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3

Events

Leave the primary process path

In case of faults (Fault Handler)

In case of particular event occurences (Events)

BPEL has two types of events:

<onMessage> - Message-Events

Triggered by a received message, i.e. operation call

<onMessage> syntax like <receive>, has the same attributes

<onAlarm> - time-based alarm events

(date, time, duration from XML Schema, ISO 8601)

After a time interval (for attribute)e.g.:<onAlarm for 'P1M3DT4H10M„> <!– P=Period of… -->

At a certain time point (until attribute) e.g..:<onAlarm until '2007-03-18T21:00:00+01:00„>

Pick Activity - Events<pick>

<onMessage partnerLink="name"portType="name"operation="name" variable="name">



</onMessage>

<onMessage ...>

</onMessage>

...

<onAlarm ...>

</onAlarm>

<onAlarm for="'PT15M'"> <!–- Nachrichtenlos für 15 Minuten --><throw faultName="Timeout"/>

</onAlarm>

...

</pick>

Event Handler <pick>, if a process should wait on an event

If process should be continued normally, without waiting on the events, but should handle occurred events -> Event Handler

Typical example: incoming „cancellation message„ of a client for a certain transaction (e.g. travel booking)

Event Handler for a complete process or specific scopes

<process ...>

<partnerLinks> ... </partnerLinks>

<variables> ... </variables>

<faultHandlers> ... </faultHandlers>

<compensationHandler> ... </compensationHandler>

<eventHandlers>

<onMessage ...>  </onMessage>

<onAlarm for="'PT15M'"> <throw faultName="Timeout" /> …</onAlarm>

</eventHandlers>



</process>

Additionally…

Auxiliary Activity <empty/> <empty/> activity…does nothing

Some constructs require at least one activity

Example:

<pick>

<onMessage partnerLink="JamesBond"

operation="deaktivieren„ … >

<empty/>

</onMessage>

<onAlarm for="'PT30S'">

<invoke partnerLink="Bombe"

operation="explodiere„ … />

</onAlarm>

</pick>

Auxiliary Activity <terminate/>

<terminate/> terminates the process

Example:

<pick>

<onMessage partnerLink="Kunde„operation="bestätigen">

<reply partnerLink="Kunde" operation="bestätigen„

variable="true"/>

</onMessage>

<onAlarm for="'P30D'"> <terminate/> </onAlarm>

</pick>

Auxiliary Activity <wait/>

<wait/> wait for a certain time span or till a

fixed time point

Examples:

<wait for="'PT30M'"/>

<wait until="'2007-12 14T09:45+01:00'"

/>

Activity <if> <if> - simple case distinction

<if >

<condition> ( $userdata.password = $inputVar.inputType/paramA )

</condition>


<else>


</else>

</if>

BPMN to BPEL Mapping

Callenges BPMN and BPELWS Mapping

BPELWS is a block structured language and BPMN is a graph language – BPELWS is less expressive than BPMN

BPMN meta-model contains all objects and properties to generate deploy-ready BPELWS (with the exception of correlation set)

You can always generate a BPMN model from a valid BPEL.

Generating a BPEL from a valid BPMN model sometimes is not possible e.g. Discriminator Pattern
