Hi all, I have a process where I need to call ODE through a SOAP web service interface, start an instance of a process, and give ODE a value that it can look up later.
So, for example I can design a very simple process: start -> step 1 (give ODE a user_id to associate with this instance of the process) -> step 2 (give ODE a user_id again to lookup and update the process to step 2) -> end My question is: Would it be necessary for me to write custom axis2 services for this need, and add tables into ODE's mysql database? Or, is it the case that I can accomplish this kind of task all within the BPEL tools that are provided by Apache ODE, without the need to write custom Java code for axis2 services? My impression is that I can just use the tools BPEL provides, and the error handling etc already built into ODE, and that it is redundant to create custom axis2 services. Your thoughts and recommendations appreciated! Sam
