invoke/receive/reply

["Antony Miguel" <antony.miguel@scapatech.com>]

Hi,

 

Hopefully this is the right place to be asking this question.  If the question is not appropriate or anyone knows of a better place to ask then please let me know.

 

I recently saw an example BPEL program where there were two activities in a <flow>, one doing a <receive>, and the other sending a message to it using a <reply>.  I can't find the example again and I may have just misinterpreted it but am I correct in thinking that in BPEL, a <receive> always receives from an invoke (or from some externally bound incoming message), and never from a <reply>?

 

My understanding is an invoke should always mean a receive-reply pair somewhere.  Is this correct?

 

thanks
