| <p> | |
| The Eclipse BPEL Designer is based on WS-BPEL 2.0, and provides a way to create, | |
| edit, validate and deploy BPEL files to BPEL runtime platforms. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| <a class="ulink" href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/OS/wsbpel-v2.0-OS.html">WS-BPEL 2.0</a> | |
| stands for Web Service Business Process Execution Language. | |
| Like EAI, BPEL is an XML-based language, but BPEL is more specific | |
| and targeted. BPEL is used by developers to join sometimes disparate | |
| functions into an integrated process, resulting in a seamless use of | |
| the Internet to conduct business transactions ranging from simple | |
| money exchanges to complex calculations and asset reallocation. | |
| </p> | |
| <p>The table below lists the main features of the Eclipse BPEL Designer:</p> | |

| There are two methods to deploy BPEL files to JBoss | |
| BPEL runtime. The user can deploy a BPEL project as a whole and | |
| can deploy BPEL files in a JBoss ESB project to the JBoss BPEL | |
| runtime.</p> | |
