Writing Service-Oriented Architecture Solutions with PHP and Open-Source ActiveBPEL Building Web Services with PHP PHPCombine Web Services into orchestrations with WS-BPEL WS-BPELUse better to enable parallel processing and asynchronous communicationSimplify WS-BPEL development with free ActiveBPEL Designer graphical tool In Detail When used in service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web Services are part of the process determining the logical order of business service activities - logical units of work performed by one or more services. Currently, the most popular tool for organizing service activities into business processes via Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), language determines the execution format for business processes operating on Web Services. Instead, through numerous examples, discuss practical aspects of SOA and WS-BPEL development, showing you how to apply architecture in practice with the help of PHP, ActiveBPEL open-source engine, and ActiveBPEL Designer - powerful development tools available for free.
