Transformation of business process models BPMN 2.0 into components of the Java business platform

The continuous improvement of organizations involves redesigning, improving or introducing new Business Processes effectively and efficiently while maintaining integration with the computer systems of the organization. In this article, we propose the creation of components of the Java EE 6 business platform from technical business processes modeled with Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) 2.0. This generation was achieved by performing three transformations in the context of Directed Model Architecture (MDA). First, a technical model BPMN 2.0 was transformed into an UML class model. Then the Unified Modeling Language (UML) model, was transformed into a UML model with Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) profiles. Finally the last generated model was transformed through Meta Object Facility Script (MOFScript), into Java EE components. The transformations are performed with Query View Transformations (QVT) Relations and MOFScript. This work contributes with transformations for generating Java EE business components related to business processes, so it helps improving the development productivity and reducing design errors.
