Introduction

This sample application demonstrates how you use the assembly editor and process editor to build an integrated application that has a business process service.

Let's put the sample application into perspective with a scenario: A person wants to receive real-time stock quotes for stocks listed in his or her current portfolio to remain updated on the value of that portfolio. To access this information, you will create a business process that will grab the person's stock portfolio online, and then calculate its value by invoking a stock quote Web service. This sample application shows you how the process and implementation fit together, while introducing you using a Web service in an application.

To create this sample application, we will use three editors:

Name Icon Description
Assembly editor Assembly icon Shows you the business process in relation to what it imports, and how it can be called from an external reference
Business process editor Business process icon Helps you create the business logic for getting the stock quotes, summing their values, and then replying.
Visual snippets editor Visual snippets icon Helps you implement the business logic within activities of the business process editor, such as calculating the stock portfolio value by adding the value of each stock.
To complete this sample application, give yourself 60 minutes.
