Howdy,
If I want to read/write some stuff from/to a DB/File from within a BPEL
process, should that also be exposed as web service to my process, or is
there a way to write, say, some custom Java code that can talk directly to
concerned entity? I'm trying to find out what kind customizations/hooks a
BPEL supports?
When I search for this stuff online, most of the links returned are from
Oracle, where they talk about writing Adapters for achieving the above. Are
adapters some standard BPEL stuff?
Thanks,

You should consider the elements you manage in the BPEL process as
*basic services*. Following this point of view, a BPEL process should
only interact with exposed services and it was, as far as i know,
designed to work that way. BPEL orchestrates (tells everyone what to do
and when to do it, even integrating human tasks into the process) and
its XML speech means that it talks to services through XML messages.
Hope I make myself clear while trying to be helpful.
