Hi All,
I would like to keep multiple revisions of same BPEL process in one domain on the server and I would like to call specific version of process
Does anybody has any idea how to do that...?

Using JDeveloper (I am using 10.1.3.1 build 3984), once you have deployed the first version of your BPEL process, you will be asked to pick a new version when you want to re-deploy the service. You can just pick a different version at his time; in my case I add a minor version letter: 1.0.c
On the deployment properties screen, you will see your version (1.0.c) and the server-side versions (1.0 and 1.0.c). You can decide to overwrite them or create a new one.
The same can be achieved through command line, as JDev use ant under the cover. The process generated will be named with the version you provided. In my case:
BPEL suitcase generated in: C:\dev\BPELPricer\output\bpel_CalculatePriceWS_1.0.c.jar
Once the BPEL process are deployed, you can point at a specific revision with the service endpoint URL. In my case, the URL look like this:
"http://" + HOST_NAME + "/orabpel/default/CalculatePriceWS/1.0.c"
You have also the ability to select a specific version from the BPEL Console, using a drop down list to pick the one to test.
To keep the code for multiple versions of the BPEL project, you should be using a source control system, like SVN, CVS, or many other alternative out there.
Hope it helps,
