BPEL Designer: Adding Event Handlers

See Also

The BPEL language provides you with the capability to handle long-time responses by using event handlers. Within an event handler element, you can specify the activities that will be invoked concurrently if the corresponding event occurs. With this approach, a BPEL process can time out and continue executing the rest of the process after the specified time or upon the arrival of the specified message.

There are two types of events:

You can attach one Event Handler container to either Process or Scope elements. Inside the Event Handlers container, you can create any number of On Event or On Alarm elements configured to invoke specific actions upon the specified event.

To add an Event Handler container to Scope or Process:

  1. Right-click the Scope or Process element and choose Add > Event Handlers.
    An empty container element to which you add specific event handler activities appears.
  2. Right-click the Event Handlers container and choose Add > On Event or On Alarm.
