What is BPEL-Centric Style

What is BPEL-Centric Style

BPEL-Centric style includes BPMN graphical notation to represent BPEL constructs. The BPEL palette contains the following notation:
  • Each BPEL construct is in the palette, except flow and sequence. These constructs are represented implicitly on the canvas for efficient process design. For example, if you drag a receive to the canvas, it is automatically enclosed in a sequence. When you add the next activity, it is automatically linked.
  • Some BPMN elements are included. To add visual clarity to a process, you can use the start, end, and none events and the fork-join and gateway control flows.
  • Some BPEL activities, such as a receive, can be shown in more than one BPMN construct. For example, a receive can be shown as a message catch event or a receive task. In the receive's Properties view, from the Show As list, select the BPMN display style.
Special Usage of BPEL and BPMN Constructs
The following table shows the BPEL constructs hidden and BPMN constructs used in BPEL edit style.
