Invoking BPEL partnerlink each for one child node

Question

Hi
I have a requirement for invoking partnerlink (DB Adapter) for each child node of input message of BPEL service! E.g. I have to update or insert an employee! I received list of of employees in input message like below.
<employee_list>
     <employee>
          <name> Ram </name>
          <Age> 21 </Age>
          <dept> IT </dept>
          <isNew>N</isNew>
     </employee>
     <employee>
          <name> Hari </name>
          <Age> 21 </Age>
          <dept> IT </dept>
          <isNew>Y</isNew>
     </employee>
</employee_list>
So the requirement is to call DB_Call partnerlink for each employee node in above!
Is this possible in BPEL? If yes, how?
Thanks In Advance

Yes you can, use a fo reach loop in bpel, loop for the count of employee, then have an if condition to check whether you want to update or insert for and use invoke node to call the appropriate operation.I hope you have gone through the upsert operation in database adpater which automatically supports insert or update. If a record is present it updates else inserts a new one.
