Preface

This book consists of many recipes providing solutions for the problems that the BPEL and Java developers face performing everyday jobs. The book provides step-by-step examples which get more completed throughout each chapter. It provides a lot of information to the developers with different levels of experience. The book consists of examples focusing on the interaction between Java and BPEL, how to enhance SOA composite applications, and how to make your applications more interactive with custom Java functionality. BPEL has become the de-facto standard for orchestrating web services. BPEL and Java are clamped into Service-oriented Architecture (SOA). Development of efficient SOA composites too often requires usage of other technologies or languages such as Java.Readers who choose to read an entire chapter will first be given a detailed overview of the topic covered in the chapter and why it plays an important role in SOA. The recipes following the introduction concentrate on the specific problems related to the topic area and provide at least one solution to it. Many of the recipes also explore further possible solutions to the presented problems.
