As this is the first public version of BPEL2oWFN the translation from a BPEL process to an open workflow net might be unstable or incorrect in some few scenarios:
Solution: Each communicating activity (i.e. invoke
,
receive
, reply
) should be defined with (input/output)
variables.
bpws
'. Processes using these elements are rejected with a
syntax error message.
Solution: Try removing or commenting these elements.
Solution: This problem occurs using a pre-compiled windows version of BPEL2oWFN. The generated files are in Windows format, yet LoLA only supports files in Unix format. To overcome this limitation of LoLA, use a tool like dos2unix or change the file format in an editor like vi.
