| Getting Started | ||
| Using ActiveVOS 7 Designer | View this recorded demo for best practices and modeling techniques in ActiveVOS 7 Designer. |  |
| Echo Hello World | The prototypical Hello World that does nothing more than echo the string "Hello World!" to its caller. View the video and follow along with the document |  |
| Hello Jane Doe | This process takes input of firstName/lastName from its caller and returns "Hello firstName lastName". View the video and follow along with the document. | |
| Where Am I Connected From? | This process wraps a publicly accessible web service that returns the location associated with the caller's IP address. View the video and follow along with the document. | |
| Getting Started with Human Tasks | Use this sample to create a new BPEL4People (WS-HumanTask) activity using sample messages to generate the WSDL. |  |

| ActiveVOS Samples | ||
| ActiveVOS Administration SDK | The ActiveVOS Server provides an administration interface that is accessible via WSDL-defined web service invocations or directly using Java classes. This SDK includes projects and documentation describing how to interact with the API using both techniques. This SDK was developed using version 7.x of ActiveVOS. | |
| Alerts | Create, deploy and register a BPEL Process that uses the Identity and Email Services in the ActiveVOS Server to respond to alerts generated by the Alert Service. | |
| Asynchronous Message Exchange | Learn now to communicate between web services using Asynchronous Message Exchange patterns. | |
| Attachments | Create, deploy and register a BPEL Process that can interact with data in SOAP Attachments sent as part of a request message. | |
| Process Patterns | Learn how to use various aspects of BPEL, including BPEL constructs, handling multiple start messages and more. | |
| Resource Simulation | Optimize process workflow and resources by creating a simulation model from an existing BPEL process. | |
| ActiveVOS's Integration with CMIS | An orchestration project that demonstrates ActiveVOS's integration with Alfresco's Content Management Interoperability ServicesÂ’ (CMIS) web services interfaces. | |
| Complex Data Exchange | This sample demonstrates best practices for communication using messages that contain complex data types. Also discussed is the procedure for generating a Java client. | |
| Web Service Interactions using JMS | This sample demonstrates how to create processes that interact with JMS providers. | |
| Using JMS with ActiveVOS | Learn more about JMS support in ActiveVOS. | |
| Invoking Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) | This sample demonstrates how to invoke POJOs from a BPEL process. | |
| Exposing and Consuming REST Services | This sample demonstrates how to expose processes as Representational State Transfer (REST)-based services as well as how to create processes that consume REST services. | |
| Release Management Workflow | This sample demonstrates how to create a business process around Release Management Services. | |
| Variable Initialization | This sample shows different methods used to initialize BPEL process variables. | |
| Working with Human Tasks | This sample demonstrates how to add a People activity to an existing BPEL Process. It is based upon the Human Approval Completed Orchestration project template which is included with the ActiveVOS Designer. The Human Approval Completed project is the completed version of the Human Approval sample. | |
| WebSphere JMS Support | This sample contains two projects. 1. Source code, application descriptors, and build script for a message-driven bean that can be deployed to the Websphere application server to provide an asynchronous listener that dispatches messages from a JMS queue to the BPEL engine. 2. A sample bpel project to test the asynchronous listener. | |
| Custom Functions | Create, install and register custom functions that can be used to facilitate common tasks within a BPEL process (e.g., XML to string) using the ActiveVOS custom functions framework. | |
| Extended Query using Indexed Properties | This sample shows the use of extended queries using indexed properies with ActiveVOS. | |
| Invoke | This sample demonstrates how to invoke a BPEL process using a Java client. | |
| How to Resolve ActiveVOS Sample Project Java Dependencies | This sample contains documentation describing how to access jar files required by some ActiveVOS sample projects. | |
| Utility Library | A dependency of a few of the other samples, the classes here are useful when developing ActiveVOS clients, Web services, and JSP pages. The provide common behavior (for example, AbstractDocumentClient and LiteralClient) and services (for example, StringUtils and Getopts). | |
| WS-Security Using SAML | This sample includes BPEL processes that demonstrate the use of WS-Security features supported by ActiveVOS Enterprise. The sample is provided to demonstrate the use of policy and the available WS-Security features supported by the ActiveVOS product. It is intended for advanced users who are comfortable deploying BPEL processes using ActiveVOS Designer and ActiveVOS Enterprise. | |

| Install, Deploy, Run | Instructions on how to install, deploy and run the process pattern samples. | |
| Arrays | Use arrays within a process, as well as sending and receiving messages containing arrays to and from BPEL web services. | |
