Enter the following information:

Field | Value

BPEL Process Name | Enter a process name. For example, HelloWorld.
Namespace | Enter or select a namespace for the BPEL process.
Template | Select the appropriate template for the BPEL process. When you select the template, you will see the information about the template below on the page. In this case you should select Synchronous BPEL Process.

Click Next.
On the second page, you can customize your WSDL service details. Enter the following information:

Field | Value
--- | ---
Service Name | A wsdl service name for the BPEL process. The default value is HelloWorld.
Port Name | A wsdl port name for the BPEL process. The default value is HelloWorldPort.

Binding Protocol | The binding protocol that you use in the wsdl. You can choose SOAP or HTTP. The default value is SOAP.

Click Next.
On the third page, you can select a folder for the process file from the projects in your workspace. If a folder is not selected, the default folder `HelloWorld/bpelContent` will be used.
Click Finish.

## Note

All of your files that are used in your BPEL project should be under the `bpelContent` folder of a BPEL project. Only in this case these files can be deployed to BPEL runtime platforms.

This will create a simple BPEL process as shown in the image below.
