I don't have an easy answer, I normally use the protocol directly and
haven't tried out clients.
The specification is here:
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps
You can get something done with the "wps request builder" in the demo
section, should
allow you to setup some simple process calls, including process chaining,
though it's
by no means complete (for example does not allow to build KVP requests,
does not
support multivalued inputs)
Cheers
