Subject: RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 63 - Support of Array
Edwin, YES - you are aobsolutely correct. I really think its time to close this whole ARRAY thing. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP USING ARRAYS. They are fundamentally EVIL and destroy interoperability between applications totally. This is circa 1970's stuff. Yeah - they were useful once, like kiddy wheels on a bike. Now we write code that is much smarter than that and has dynamic structures and heirarchies that you process as objects. We do not need ARRAY support in BPEL - that will only encourage people to create fundamentally unsound solutions. Thanks, DW. ============================================================== Message text written by INTERNET:edwink@collaxa.com >Comment/Question #2: I am not sure I understand your separation between document structure constructs and language constructs: let's imagine that I have a purchase order business document which includes a set of line items and I want to iterate through each line item and process it. It seems that in that case given that the line items would not be defined in the BPEL script as an array, it would not be able to benefit from the iteration construct you are proposing to introduce. My point here is that for BPEL and BPEL developers to really benefit from array and iteration constructs, it requires XML schema to first add support for it. <
