What's the difference between BPEL and BPEL-J?

| > |
BPEL is a XML-based language for orchestrating Web services into business processes. BPEL fits as an integral part of the Web services stack with the promise of making business processes and composite services a natural part of the existing Java and dot-Net platforms. BPEL is a specification originally co-authored by IBM and Microsoft and subsequently submitted to OASIS for standardization with broad software industry support.
BPELJ is a proposal jointly published by IBM and BEA in a recent white paper. The BPELJ proposal entails mixing of Java business logic inside BPEL process logic, enabling tighter links between BPEL business processes and Java functionality. BPELJ is touted as a direction for JSR 207, proposed by BEA for encoding business processes in Java.
