Java Embedding

Java embedding - that is is java code within the BPEL process. The main purpose for which I used this was database updates as well as logging . Updating the database was a challenge and one of the best ways is to do through the database adapters. But since I am using Eclipse & not JDev, didnt have the database adapters functionality there. As a workaround created a separate BPEL process in JDev and was successful in updating the database. However, wasnt successful in calling this BPEL process created in JDEV from the main BPEL process created in Eclipse.

Hence, ended up using java embedding as a final successful workaround.
Application database updates:
I used java embedding mostly for updating the application database through stored proc calls.

Logging:

Logging may be done in opmn logs or you may define your own custom log file.
Example:Using log4j (include the jar file in the lib dir)
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( "default.com.logs.appllogfile" );
logger.info( "Info using log4j" );

Other levels of logging:
a. Info
b. Debug
c. Audit
