Summary
In this chapter, we became familiar with advanced BPEL features of Oracle SOA Suite 11g. We overviewed entity variables and presented an example for using them. Entity variables can be very useful in long-running BPEL processes. We also looked at the Master and Detail processes and explained how to use signals to coordinate them.
We have explained how to secure BPEL processes and SOA composites using WS-Security. This is important, as we will in most cases need to use security. Finally, we have shown how to use events in BPEL processes.
In the next chapter, we will look at human interactions in BPEL.
