Short and Long-Running Processes in SOA-part2

In this 2-part article series by Michael Havey, we have already learned about classified processes by duration, dividing them into three categories: short-running, mid-running, and long-running. Long-running processes need state, so we have examined three data models to keep process state: those used in BEA Weblogic Integration and Oracle's BPEL Process Manager, and our own custom model, which borrows ideas from these two. We then discussed how to build a long-running process out of several short-running processes (implemented in TIBCO's BusinessWorks) tied together with state in our custom data model. In this article you will learn how short-running BPEL processes can be compiled for faster execution.
