Assignment of external data into a variable

Issue
- 90 - Assignment of external data into a variable
Status: open
Date added: 9 Jan 2004
Submitter: Kristofer Agren
Date submitted: 09 January 2004
Document: BPEL specification
Description: The current
assignment model allows for assigning literal data entered in directly under
the <from> element. In practice, it may be desirable to have an external
file/location where the data is maintained, which will allow for reuse if the
same set of data is to be utilized in different business processes. The
external file must be a valid XML document.
Submitter's proposal: I propose
that this is solved by adding another form of the <form> element that can
accept an external location uri and an optional query string:
<assign>
<copy>
<from location="uri" query="queryString"?/>
<to.../>
</copy>
</assign>
