Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Understanding BPEL
Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is an XML-based language that enables task-sharing in a distributed computing environment. It uses easy-to-understand commands that perform complex functions. All the processes in BPEL, export and import information by using web service interfaces only.
The BPEL Engine is optimized for the JBoss Application Server container. It is based on Apache Orchestration Director Engine (ODE) and manages process definitions and instances.
Important
BPEL (based on the Riftsaw project) is no longer being actively developed and will be removed from a future release of JBoss Fuse. If you are currently using BPEL, it is recommended that you consider migrating to the Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite (which is supported through the JBoss Fuse Integration Package).
