Thanks for the response Alex. I really appreciate the help. 4) My intent is to have the bpel process to do an invoke on the Version service and return the message from the Version web service. I originally created the process in Oracle's Bpel editor and used Oracle to validate the bpel process. I'm not sure what you mean by another partnerlink to represent the interactoin bwtweeen the client of the process. I usally think of partnerlinks with web services being invoked. Is my current partnerlink correct (deployable/executable)? Its been a while since I've looked at actual bpel files. I've used Active Endpoint and Active Bpel in the past and the gui did most of the work for me :) I guess I was a little spoiled. Thanks for the link, I'll defeinitly look at it. Khanh

If you're looking for additional material to learn BPEL, you might want to refer to [1], part 2 of the series specifically reviews partnerLinks and partnerLinkTypes. regards, alex [1] http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/nb_enterprise_pack/reference/techart/bpel.html
