HttpServlet and BPEL processes

Question

Hi!
I've created a Http Servlet in my web application (in Jdeveloper, using ADF BC, application is deployed to Oracle AS 10.1.3.3 where BPEL PM is also runnig) that has doPost method implemented. This servlet is 'listening' on defined URL for http POST calls and recieves an XML message. Now I'd like to pass these XML to different BPEL processes. What is the best way to do it?
I can set two more direct questions:
1. Since I don't have any Data Controls access in my http servlet class (there aren't any jspxs or PageDefs linked to this servlet and I can't get the reference on Faces Config instance), how can I invoke my BPEL processes. I already have calls to my BPEL processes implemented but from a jspx and that is not that difficult.
2. Is it possible to 'listen' to some url for POST method with BPEL PM without using http servlet in my web application? This way I wouldn't need my servlet and an answer to my 1st question.
Hope I made myself clear and someone can answer any of the questions.
Regards,
BB.

Hi,
When you deploy a new BPEL process on the BPEL PM, the process will have an endpoint address http://bpelhost:bpelport/orabpel/default/Your_Process_Name/1.0 (which is the address that the process is "listening to" for POST requests) and it will have a WSDL file at the url http://bpelhost:bpelport/orabpel/default/Your_Process_Name/1.0/Your_Process_Name?wsdl . Therefore, when a web service request which conforms to the WSDL of the process is received at the endpoint URL, your BPEL process will start executing.
Hope this short explanation helps..
