The SOA extends this value to cover the creation and sharing
of business processes, utilizing web protocols, tools, and infrastructure to meet this
new objective. The challenge is to find the Service Orchestration Point for hosting
the business processes that interact with heterogeneous services and provide a
seamless and quick solution to the customers.

Introduction to Various BPEL Processes
A business process is the procedure that an organization uses to achieve a larger
business goal. A business process is actually a series of individual tasks, and
each task is executed in a specific order. Business Processes are synchronous or
asynchronous, depending on the method you choose to invoke your business
process. A synchronous business process can contain asynchronous operations, but
they must be added after the starting event in the process flow. That is, at runtime
the processes are executed after the synchronous starting event is complete.
As an integral part of the NetBeans SOA tools, business processes provide the
primary means through which enterprise services are integrated. NetBeans SOA
tools features the BPEL Designer, which has been formulated so that architects can
easily create complex composite applications involving web services without much
programming effort.
