# About the ebXML Participant Business Process File

The generated ebXML participant business process file provides a head start for building public participant business processes for ebXML conversations. Although this file is not required to build ebXML participant business processes, it includes the nodes and business process annotations needed to integrate easily with ebXML initiator business processes.

The generated ebXML participant business process file consists of the following nodes, which are linked in the following sequence:

Node Name | Node Type | Method Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Start | Start |  | To learn about Start nodes, see Starting Your Business Process.
Receive Request | Client Request | request | Starts the ebXML participant business process upon receiving an ebXML message from the initiator. To learn about Client Request nodes, see Receiving Messages From Clients.
Respond to Request | Client Response | response | Sends the response document back to the initiator. To learn about Client Response nodes, see Sending Messages to Clients.
Finish | Finish |  | Ends the ebXML participant business process. To learn about Finish nodes, see Specifying Endpoints in Your Business Process.
