 Description  « Hide
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Ford
TARGET: HT, Section 6.2 Xpath Extension Functions

DESCRIPTION: It's not clear whether the functions require string literals
for the part, task, or LPG name params or whether callers can use
expressions for these values. In the ws-bpel 2.0 spec there are similar
instances where functions that accept the name of a resource (i.e.
bpel:getVariableProperty ) require that the name of the resource is passed
as a string literal. This is beneficial for static analysis and as well as
makes the behavior of the process/task easier to follow.

PROPOSAL: Add some text to the description of the Xpath extensions to
indicate that the part, task, and LPG params must be passed as string
literals. A similar change is required to the B4P spec. Formal proposal to
follow if the issue is opened.

Dave Ings: To be consistent with BPEL 2.0, in section WS-HT 6.2, add the following introductory text: Parameters that specify part, task, or LPG names passed to WS-HumanTask XPath extension functions must be literal strings. All other parameters don't have that restriction. For B4P, in section 5.0, add the following introductory text: Parameters that specify people activity names passed to BPEL4People XPath extension functions must be literal strings. All other parameters don't have that restriction.

Dave Ings: (The editors may clean this text up.)
