Issue - 143 - StaticSwitch Activity

Status: open
Categories: Syntax and validation
Date added: 15 Jul 2004
Submitter: Yaron Y. Goland
Date submitted: 15 July 2004
Description: A static switch is a switch in which the values of the cases are static 
values rather than expressions. Besides being a common form of switch it 
is an easily validated expression for providing control flow over 
enumerated values.
Submitter's proposal:
<staticSwitch standard-attributes>
    standard-elements
    <condition expression-language="URI">general-expr</condition>
    <case value="xs:string">+
       activity
    </case>
    <otherwise>
       activity
    </otherwise>
</staticSwitch>
This is effectively a macro for:
<switch>
    <case>+
       <condition>general-expr = string</condition>
       activity
    </case>
    <otherwise>
       activity
    </otherwise>
</switch>
