Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) is an open-source engine that executes business processes written in WS-BPEL by orchestrating web services—sending and receiving messages, manipulating data, and handling errors for both long- and short-running workflows. It supports WS-BPEL 2.0 and BPEL4WS 1.1, provides two communication layers (Axis2 HTTP and JBI/ServiceMix), a REST-style HTTP binding via WSDL, external variable mapping to databases, a high-level API, hot deployment, and validation at deployment or compile time. The project has retired and moved to the Apache Attic.
AI named Apache ODE from December 2025 to March 2026.
