Business Process Component

The Business Process Component enables toolkit entities in the presentation tier to perform a series of activities in the application logic layer if the toolkit is running on the WebSphere(R) Business Integration Server Foundation. Because the Business Process Component uses the Process Choreographer of the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation, toolkit applications running on other editions of WebSphere Application Server must use a Single Action EJB to perform the activities.

The series of activities is a process. The Business Process Component prepares the data for the process and creates the response once the process flow has finished. A process engine running in the Process Container actually performs the flow. The process engine treats the process flow as a micro workflow, which means it is short lived and not interruptible.
