Programming IBM BPM

You can find programming guides and examples for programming various aspects of the IBM BPM system, in this section.

The following subtopics provide information for programming various components, applications, and services.

Important: See the Reference section of the information center for details of the API and system programming interfaces (SPIs) that are supported by this and other BPM products.

• Developing client applications that use IBM BPM REST APIs
  IBM BPM provides a set of APIs that are implemented based on Representational State Transfer (REST) services. A set of REST resources is available for accessing IBM BPM artifacts, including business processes, and tasks.
• Developing using the JavaScript API
  In Process Designer all variables are JavaScript variables so you can use JavaScript code snippets inside your components to improve the behavior of your model.
• Developing using the web service API
  The application programming interface (API) for web service clients defines a number of schemas and provides a set of operations to access Process Designer functionality from an external client application.
• Developing client applications for BPEL processes and tasks
  

  You can use a modeling tool to build and deploy BPEL processes and tasks. These processes and tasks are interacted with at run time, for example, a process is started, or tasks are claimed and completed. You can use Business Process Choreographer Explorer to interact with processes and tasks, or the Business Process Choreographer APIs to develop customized clients for these interactions.

• Enterprise Service Bus programming
  This development guide is for enterprise architects, integration architects and developers who are responsible for implementing integration and connectivity solutions. It begins with the high-level concepts and abilities that will help you to understand the capabilities and usage patterns of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The development guide then describes how to implement the capabilities and patterns on WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.
• Service Component Architecture programming
  SCA provides a simple, yet powerful programming model for constructing applications based on SOA.
• Business objects programming
  Business objects are containers for application data, such as a customer or an invoice. Data is exchanged between components by way of business objects.
• Business rule management programming
  Public business rule management classes are provided for the building of custom management clients or to automate changes to business rules.
