The Partner Link contains the service interface (WSDL) for BPEL services to invoke other external services:

The Oracle JDeveloper's design page has three different swim lanes, as shown in the next screenshot. These swim lanes are as follows:

• The left-hand side swim lane is used to define partner links for communication with clients

• The right-hand side swim lane is used to define...
