Book Review: BPEL Cookbook: Best Practices for SOA-based integration and composite applications development Edited by Harish Gaur and Markus Zirn: Publisher- Packt: ISBN- 1-904811-33-7
BPEL Cookbook is not about BPEL but for Oracle BPEL Process Manager. This book contains ten case studies which ranges from real implemented business scenarios to examples listed at Oracle web site.
The book starts with very simple case study but with each new chapter complex and difficult scenario unfolds.
The book is structured into three logical parts. Part one is talking about integration using Oracle BPEL Process manager. This part covers first three case studies. Part two covers usage of Oracle BPEL Process Manager in little more complex applications including product development. This part is covered in case study number four, five and six. The last part covers SOA techniques which spans from chapter seven to ten.
My favorite case studies from book are “Building Rich Internet Applications for Workflow and Process Monitoring”, “Building BPEL Process on the fly”, Making BPEL Process Dynamic”, and “Using WSIF for Integration”.
The book is good reminder of BPEL Process Manager capabilities. The best way to read this book is to start realizing the scenarios.
Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author.
