RE: [wsbpel] Issue 7 - approved proposal.

["Fletcher, Tony" <Tony.Fletcher@choreology.com>]

Dear Paco and other Colleagues,

Just a point of detail.  Suppose an XML schema is being imported that
has not target namespace (i.e. a no namespace schema).  Should we have a
special value for the namespace attribute in this case as it is required
and so can not just be omitted?

Best Regards     Tony

Here is the updated text of the proposal we approved in yesterday's
call:

Introduce a single <bpel:import> element used to import  XSD, WSDL
definitions. Zero or more <bpel:import> elements may appear as first
children of the <bpel:process> element. Three required attributes must
be:

- "namespace": target namespace being imported
- "location": where to find the imported information
- "importType": identifies the type of document being imported by
providing the URI of the encoding language: either
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
or "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";.

For example:

<bpel:import namespace="..."  location="document-location"
importType="XYZ-namespace-uri"/>

A <bpel:import> import element will be interpreted as a hint for BPEL
processors. In particular, processors are not required to retrieve the
imported document from the specified location.
