In-Depth Information
Note that the two partner types look different. Partner links on the left indicate receivers of
incoming messages and have a rectangle around the message icon. Partner links on the right
are enclosed in a circle and represent services the process will invoke.
By this point, you should have a bare process that looks like the one shown in
Figure 9-7
.
Figure9-7.Process with partner links defined
Basically what you're saying here is: the process will receive messages from clients that in-
voke operations on the interface exposed through the WSDL you created as CustomerPro-
cessEsb.wsdl. It will call operations on the CustomerProcess web service to get the work of
the process done. You haven't actually connected any of those dots yet. Let's start to build the
process.
Creating the <receive> activity
From the Web Service palette, click on the Receive label and drag it onto the canvas to create
a
<receive>
activity. Click the edit icon above the activity to edit it and change the value in
the Name field to “ReceiveLookupRequest”. Choose your
CustomerProcessPartnerLink
,
and it should select the
CustomerProcessEsbOperation
for you.
