Hi, ODE uses an optimization technique for Process to Process communication in which the communication is designed to happen as an object to object call on the local machine. It doesn't go through the integration layer (axis2). This optimization overcomes the overhead of serialization and de-serialization of messages over the wire. Henceforth you may be experiencing this behaviour where the child process on the same local machine is being invoked.
If you do not want this optimization then you can override this behaviour by adding an attribute usePeer2Peer="false" on the invoke element in deploy.xml. The link below shows an example of it https://github.com/apache/ode/blob/master/axis2-war/src/ test/resources/TestNoP2P/deploy.xml#L28 Note: By overriding this optimization all calls to the child process even on the local machine will go via the integration layer. Kindly refer the link (http://ode.apache.org/endpoint-references.html) to pass in the EPR to the partnerlink. Apart from the first approach where a URL string is assigned to the partnerlink, try to use any other approach in the document. Let is know how it goes. There might be a bug in the first approach specified in the ( http://ode.apache.org/endpoint-references.html) link. Can you raise a JIRA please and attach your process to it. regards, sathwik On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 4:59 PM, Jit K <jkf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to invoke a process dynamically.
