Intalio, Inc. announced that its open-source BPEL process engine named
Orchestration Director Engine (ODE) has recently graduated from the
Apache incubator to a Top Level Project. ODE was contributed by
Intalio to the Apache Software Foundation in July 2006, following
Intalio's acquisition of FiveSight Technologies. This graduation
"marks an important milestone in the development of Intalio Server,
which is built on top of the ODE engine. ODE is the only open-source
BPEL engine currently available under a liberal open-source license
and supports all versions of the BPEL specification (1.0, 1.1, and 2.0).
Built upon this foundation, Intalio Server is the fastest and most
scalable process engine currently available on the market, capable of
supporting hundreds of thousands of different process models deployed
on the same server, and hundreds of millions of process instances
running concurrently on a single CPU. Apache ODE (Orchestration
Director Engine) executes business processes written following the
WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving
messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described
by your process definition. It supports both long and short living
process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of
your application. WS-BPEL is an XML-based language defining several
constructs to write business processes. It defines a set of basic
control structures like conditions or loops as well as elements to
invoke web services and receive messages from services. It relies on
WSDL to express web services interfaces. Message structures can be
manipulated, assigning parts or the whole of them to variables that
can in turn be used to send other messages. The Apache Software
Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source
software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a
collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and
pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality
software that leads the way in its field.
