Subject: Issue - 70 - suppressJoinFailure default value


This issue has been added to the wsbpel issue list. The issues list is posted as a Technical Committee document to the OASIS WSBPEL TC pages on a regular basis. The current edition, as a TC document, is the most recent document with the title in the "Issues" folder of the WSBPEL TC document list - the next posting will include this issue. The list editor's working copy, which will normally include an issue when it is announced, is available at this constant URL.

Issue - 70 - suppressJoinFailure default value

Status: open
Date added: 30 Sep 2003
Submitter: Jim Clune
Date submitted: 26 September 2003
Description: The XML schema in the appendix of the BPEL 1.1 spec declares a default value of "no" for the suppressJoinFailure attribute in tActivity and tProcess complexType declarations. This makes sense for tProcess, as it establishes a default to be used until overridden. For tActivity, however, I think that specifying a default value contradicts this statement in section 12.5.2:

A value of "yes" for [suppressJoinFailure] has the effect of suppressing the bpws:joinFailure fault for the activity and all nested activities, except where the effect is overridden by using the suppressJoinFailure attribute with a value of "no" in a nested activity.

By having the schema specify a default value for suppressJoinFailure for each activity element, nested activities always reset the value of suppressJoinFailure instead of inheriting it.
Submitter's proposal: If I am reading this wrong, perhaps someone can clarify. Otherwise, I propose, in the schema's tActivity declaration, replacing this:

<attribute name="suppressJoinFailure" type="bpws:tBoolean" default="no"/>
with this:
<attribute name="suppressJoinFailure" type="bpws:tBoolean" use="optional"/>
