Developing client applications in the Java web services environment

You can use any Java-based development environment compatible with Java™ web services to develop client applications for the Business Process Choreographer web services APIs.

• Generate a web service proxy (Java web services)
  Java web services client applications use a web service proxy to interact with the Business Process Choreographer web services APIs.
• Create a client application for BPEL processes and human tasks (Java web services)
  A client application sends requests to and receives responses from the Business Process Choreographer web services APIs. By using a web service proxy to manage communications and helper classes to format complex data types, a client application can invoke web service methods as if they were local functions.
