Creating an Activity by Starting with a WSDL Interface

An activity is a step in a BPEL process. It can describe an interaction with a Web service, or it can perform internal process functions. The process must contain at least one activity.

In BPMN, there is a distinction between activity and event, in which an activity performs work and an event is a trigger or result. In BPEL, there is no distinction: both activities and events are considered activities.
