Day 2 - Wires, exports and imports

Todays course contained a lot more hands-on which was good. We took a deep dive into an End-To-End case where we used both the old WBI Adapters and the new WebSphere Adapters which runs within the WAS. The old WBI Adapters runs perfectly fine with the Process Server. Business Objects are now represented by using SDO (Service Data Objects).

We have made our first Process (BPEL), it turned out to be a very simple Process and we realized that they will and can become a lot more complicated. When developing loops/iterations in BPEL the result can be quite complicated due to nested while loops that can become quite teadius to read and maintain. Another approach to this problem is to design the process using state machines. Using state machines it's much easier to design and implement processes that contain loops or return to an earlier step in the process.
