Time for action – triggering BookshelfEvent from the book warehousing BPEL process
Let's now try to trigger a business event from a BPEL process. When a BPEL process triggers a business event, all processes, services, and other components that are subscribed to this event will execute.
Triggering a business event from a BPEL process is quite simple. It requires using the <invoke> activity where we specify the business event instead of a partner link and operation name.
