The workflow of enterprises usually involves the integration of
multiple applications from various systems. To lower the difficulty
of integration, Enterprise Integration Patterns could be helpful.
Each pattern poses a specific design problem, discusses the
considerations surrounding the problem, and presents an elegant
solution that balances the various forces. The BPEL language is used
to model the workflows. The objective of the thesis is to find BPEL
representation of several EAI patterns, also with the help of Web
services. For this purpose, features of the EAI patterns are
investigated and the patterns are parameterized.
An editor was already developed to support combining some EAI
patterns to a messaging system and generating BPEL out of it. By
extending the editor we are able to generate BPEL files for more
patterns, which can be deployed and executed on the ActiveBPEL
engine.
