Create BPEL 2.0 Web Service Operation

BPEL is an Orchestration language, which orchestrates services that are exposed using WSDL 1.1. It coordinates the execution of the various operations of these involved services. BPEL 2.0 supports WSDL 1.1 one-way and request-response operations only (and not solicit-response and notification operations). Enterprise Architect enables you to create, for BPEL Process and Pool elements, Web Service Operations that support either synchronous (request-response) or asynchronous (one-way) interactions.
