I need to extract the activities and their XPath of a BPEL Process out of the xml file.
I'm familiar with the theory behind BPEL but not the fileformat itself. If I read a BPEL file I have difficulties to identify the specific activities. Not to speak of the XPath.
How do I parse a BPEL file in a way that I get every activity, no mather what orchestration type, and its XPath?
ps: in java
EDIT: what I want to extract
<name>CallService1Op2</name>
<xpath>/process/sequence[1]/invoke[1]</xpath>
(the xml-tags are not actually in the xml. it's just for pointing out what I want.)
From the following bpel:sequence
<bpel:sequence name="main">
<!-- Receive input from requester.
Note: This maps to operation defined in LoadProcess.wsdl
-->
<bpel:receive name="receiveInput" partnerLink="client"
portType="tns:LoadProcess"
operation="process" variable="input"
createInstance="yes"/>
<!-- Generate reply to synchronous request -->
<bpel:assign validate="no" name="Assign">
<bpel:copy>
<bpel:from><bpel:literal><impl:callService2 xmlns:impl="http://loadWS.iaas.unistuttgart.de" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<impl:sleepMiliSeconds>0</impl:sleepMiliSeconds>
</impl:callService2>
</bpel:literal></bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="Service1PLRequest" part="parameters"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
<bpel:copy>
<bpel:from part="payload" variable="input">
<bpel:query queryLanguage="urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:sublang:xpath1.0"><![CDATA[tns:input]]></bpel:query>

<bpel:to part="parameters" variable="Service1PLRequest">

</bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
</bpel:assign>
<bpel:invoke name="CallService1Op2" partnerLink="Service1PL" operation="callService2" portType="ns:Service1" inputVariable="Service1PLRequest" outputVariable="Service1PLResponse"></bpel:invoke>

<tns:result>tns:result</tns:result>
</tns:LoadProcessResponse>
</bpel:literal></bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="output" part="payload"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
<bpel:copy>
<bpel:from part="parameters" variable="Service1PLResponse">
<bpel:query queryLanguage="urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:sublang:xpath1.0"><![CDATA[ns:callService2Return]]></bpel:query>
</bpel:from>
<bpel:to part="payload" variable="output">

</bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
</bpel:assign>
<bpel:reply name="replyOutput"
partnerLink="client"
portType="tns:LoadProcess"
operation="process"
variable="output"
/>
</bpel:sequence>
the above is a quite simple example. the xpath more often looks like
/process/sequence[1]/sequence[1]/repeatUntil[1]/sequence[1]/invoke[1]
because the activity is nested into squences, flows, loops, ifs or what not.
EDIT2:
Usecase: BPEL Process is running on Apache-ODE. Apache-ODE puts out events for start/stop/whatever of a Process/Activity. The event contains only the XPath. But I want to see the name, so I have to match against the XPath.
