I haven't looked at the plumbing since the IL refactor, but it used to be possible to directly connect a BPEL process to another BPEL process within the Ode container and without hitting the wire. This is still a "hop" in the sense that it involves persistence (to the extent that the process does) and serialization of state, but it doesn't involve serializing and deserializing, e.g., to SOAP. If you truly want in-band invocation and don't have long-running operations, why not consider XPath extension functions? I'll let other Ode'ers steer you away if I'm not thinking clearly, but that's one way to get what you're after. -- Paul
