BPEL2.0 for JBoss - RiftSaw

JBoss released RiftSaw an open source BPEL 2.0 engine that can be deployed on JBoss container.
http://www.jboss.org/riftsaw You can go through the feature list here.

Download the BPEL Designer plugin from http://www.jboss.org/tools

Note : Before you install, please check the Release Notes for the Known Issues. The one known issue (copied below) alarms me and IMO RiftSaw2.0 is NOT yet production ready till this issue is fixed. However, the features and plugin are very promising for an open source application and I hope Redhat will make it more stable in the future releases.

RIFTSAW-186 - an unusual timing issue where the ODE engine removes the process instance before the final response message has been sent. There appears to be some form of synchronization issue in the ODE engine, but only occurs under very specific circumstances.

Installation
  • Follow the installation instructions provided on the website http://docs.jboss.com/riftsaw/publish/en-US/html/index.html. Additionally, please check the following(as I thought some were missing or not obvious)
  • On Windows, I set the C:\riftsaw-2.0.0.Final\install\deployment.properties
    • org.jboss.as.home=C:\\jboss-soa-p-standalone.5.0.0\\jboss-esb
    • org.jboss.esb.home=C:\\jboss-soa-p-standalone.5.0.0\\jboss-esb
    • database=oracle


  • Set the C:\riftsaw-2.0.0.Final\db\jdbc\oracle.properties

  • For Oracle, copy ojdbc14.jar to C:\riftsaw-2.0.0.Final\db\drivers
