PAPI Web Service provides access to a considerable subset of PAPI operations. This section
describes the scenarios where PAPI Web Service is more suitable than PAPI.
PAPI Web Service complies with Web Services standards. This allows you to take advantage of the existing
common infrastructure used by other applications such as load balancers, proxies, security services and monitoring.
PAPI Web Service fits perfectly into a SOA architecture.
Use PAPI Web Service to expose PAPI operations to:
- external applications written in virtually any programming language.
- applications running outside the domain where Oracle BPM resides.
- applications running behind a fire wall.
