For the JavaPosse folks who are just starting with BPEL (pronounciation is the first big step here), for the people looking at NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5 (and for everyone else), I’d recommend:
– Business Process Execution Language, Part 1: An Introduction
– Business Process Execution Language, Part 2: partnerLinkType
and partnerLink
– Using the Orchestration Designer Feature (more IDE-focused)
– and also going back to the nice entertaining “Hitchicker Guied to SOA” JavaOne talk.
