Issue - 19 - Multiple properties associated to a single property alias

Origin: Extracted from email Fred Carter, 22 May 2003
Date submitted: 22 May 2003
Submitter: Fred Carter, Amberpoint
Description:
BPEL introduces the notion of properties & property aliases.  This 
combination provides powerful expressive capabilities for "important 
concepts" to a process.  This information is expected, at present, to be 
distributed between the BPEL definition (the properties) and the WSDL 
definitions (the property aliases).

In practice, it is likely that some number of processes will refer to the same properties, but that these BPEL files may not be aware of one another. Thus, it would be good to explore the ability to associate multiple properties with a single property alias.

Part of this work may involve determining how to map different type specifications (which may be (probably must be) structurally "similar", but named differently) that are associated with the property definition.

This is probably a lower-level issue, not required to be addressed early on. However, we should consider it for usability purposes.
