BPEL Designer: Opening a BPEL Diagram

You use the Design view to create and modify a diagram that represents a business process, and you use the Source view to display and edit the source file for that business process.

To open a diagram in the Design view:

  1. In the Projects window, expand your BPEL Module project's top node and the default Process Files node. The Process Files node contains an arbitrary hierarchy of nodes corresponding to the folder structure under the src directory.

  2. Double-click the .bpel file.
    The diagram opens in the Editing Mode of the Design view.

To display the diagram's source file:
