Using BPEL Extensibility in WSO2 BPS

In WSO2 BPS, extension activities and extension assign operations are grouped into Extension Bundles. Extension bundles are associated with an extension namespace and may provide several Extension operations. Extension operations are the actual implementations of extension code and can be used for both, extension activities and extension assign operations.

To install an extension, simply copy the extension jar to $PRODUCT_HOME/repository/components/lib directory. Then add a configuration entry to bps.xml in $PRODUCT_HOME/repository/conf directory as shown in the following example:

<bpsxmlns="http://wso2.org/bps/config">
  ...
    <extensionBundles>
        <runtimes>
            <runtime>org.wso2.bps.samples.extension</runtime>
        </runtimes>
        <validators>
