Hi Farida, ODE's processes can be exposed via an HTTP binding which allows calling them in an almost restful manner, assuming that the messages are encoded in XML. JSON or other formats are not supported. When it comes to orchestration of other services, ODE can use different HTTP verbs. Unfortunately I have never worked with these BPEL extensions myself. You could have a look at the testcases TestHttpBindingExt_* at https://github.com/apache/ode/tree/trunk/axis2-war/src/test/resources/
