Abstract
In the previous chapter, we have seen that BPEL provides a set of standard constructs to define the behavior of an orchestration at run-time. These constructs are specified in XML and do not have a graphical representation. However, integration platforms that are based on (or at least inspired in) BPEL often provide development tools where an orchestration can be designed by resorting to graphical elements (or shapes) that represent those constructs. Examples of how flow constructs can be depicted in a graphical way can be found in Chaps. 8 and 9. In fact, this is how we introduced the main concepts associated with orchestration flow, by explaining what a series of shapes actually mean in terms of run-time behavior.

In practice, once the product has been shipped, the process may have ended already and the customer may be unable to cancel it. However, in this example we do not consider such problem.
