ALSB Invocation from BPEL

Question

Hi All,
I have a service which is in ESB. It is a http based proxy service and is on a different domain w.r.t the BPEL Domain I am using. For invoking that proxy service, I am trying to create Partner Links in Jdeveloper, but all I get is the error message saying "Partner Links not defined in the WSDL". I know its too early for me to post it in this thread, but I really am unable to find the cause of this error.
Could you guys please suggest some reading material for me?
I basically was trying to some sample without going through the entire documentation.
Regards

Hi!
Partnerlinks is something bpel-specific and by default isnt there in the wsdl resource of the osb.
So you could export the wsdl from the osb console, add it to your bpel process, and then create a partnerlink based on it.
You will notice after that it will either create a wrapper wsdl or add the partnerlink-definition to it.
In my case it created a new ....Ref.wsdl file and in this file it imports the original .wsdl file
filename : GenericTrigger_v1Ref.wsdl
<wsdl:definitions
     name="GenericTrigger"
     targetNamespace="http://www.test.com//"
     xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/"
     xmlns:s1="http://www.test.com/triggering/"
     xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
     xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    <plnk:partnerLinkType name="MyOSBService">
        <plnk:role name="GenericTrigger">
            <plnk:portType name="s1:GenericTrigger"/>
        </plnk:role>
    </plnk:partnerLinkType>
    <wsdl:import namespace="http://www.test.com//" location="GenericTrigger_v1.wsdl"/>
</wsdl:definitions>hope its clear?
