Pool

A BPMN 1.1 Pool represents a Participant in a Process and does not map to any specific BPEL 1.1 element. Enterprise Architect uses Pools to represent external Participants, with which the BPEL Process communicates. These are 'black box' pools; that is, they are abstract and do not expose any details (they do not contain any BPMN 1.1 elements inside them).

BPEL Properties:

  • Double-click on the Pool in the BPEL diagram
  • Right-click on the Pool | BPEL | BPEL Properties

Notes

  • A BPEL Process should not contain a Pool as its child element
  • A BPEL diagram under a BPEL Process contains an implicit Pool - so it is invalid to add a Pool in this BPEL diagram to represent the BPEL Process
  • Pool cannot have any incoming or outgoing Sequence Flow connectors - it can have only incoming or outgoing Message Flow connectors
