Creating an Orchestration Project

You must create a project folder to store BPEL process and related files. A project maps to a folder in the file system. An orchestration project is an ideal project nature for BPEL orchestrations.

A default orchestration project includes the following in support of BPEL orchestrations:

• Service References. For details, see About Interfaces, Service References, and Local WSDL.
• Folders. Several folders are added for an organized and convenient registry of the resources that support orchestrations.
• Builders. For details, see About Project Orchestration and Validation Builders.

In addition, there are several templates available to help you get started on your projects. See Orchestration Project Templates.

To create a new orchestration project:

1. Select File>New>Orchestration Project, and click Next.
2. Type in a project name.
3. Do one of the following:
• Click Finish to create a project.
• If desired, deselect the check box next to Use default location. For details, see Changing the Default Location of a Workspace Project.
• Click Next to select a template for a special type of Orchestration Project. For details, see Orchestration Project Templates.
4. Notice that by default, several folders can be created to store process files and related resources. These folders are provided by the orchestration project nature.
5. Your new project appears in the Project Explorer, and the folder in the file system contains a .project file.

You can now create new BPEL process files, as described in Creating a New Process.
