A BPEL process is invoked just like a Web service. The process service is deployed with a URL of

http://[machinename:port]/active-bpel/services/[service name]

, where

[service name]

is the value of the service attribute of the my role element in the process deployment descriptor file.

The process is also deployed with a URL of

http://[machinename:port]/active-bpel/services/soap12/[service name]

so that clients sending a request to a process can do so with a SOAP 1.2 binding. The default binding is SOAP 1.1.
