Apache ODE

Abstract

An example is Apache ODE 2 that proposes a REST variant of the BPEL invoke activity that replaces the attributes partner Link/operation with resource and method. This new Apache ODE feature is not yet implemented and it is in the state of a proposal, subject to changes.3 Apache ODE extends BPEL by adding a few basic elements to the WSDL 1.1 HTTP binding. It accept verbs at the operation level (not only at the binding level), and WSDL port types can be mapped to a URI resource and operations to HTTP methods. The ODE extension overrides the semantics of existing BPEL activity to handle the invocation of RESTful Web services. The ability of declaring and instantiating resources is provided through ex- tensions of the and activities.4
