Abstract

The Eclipse modelling framework (EMF) provides a hierarchy of Java classes and interfaces that represents the abstract syntax of the business process execution language for web services (BPEL4WS). Many analyses of a BPEL4WS program boil down to walking its abstract syntax tree. We review, refine and extend a technique, based on Java's reflection mechanism, to walk such trees. We apply this technique to implement some non-trivial analyses of BPEL4WS programs.
