RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 74 - Ambiguity in join condition definition

["Yaron Goland" <ygoland@bea.com>]

What is harmed if we allow join conditions on activities that don't have links? Isn't it already possible to write a join condition that doesn't refer to any form of link state in calculating its Boolean output?

    Just Curious,

Issue - 74 - Ambiguity in join condition definition

Status: open
Date added: 9 Oct 2003
Submitter: Dieter Roller
Date submitted: 09 October 2003
Description: The specs could possibly be interpreted in such a way that activities without an incoming link could also have a join condition. This is not the intended meaning.
Submitter's proposal: Modify the first sentence in the second paragraph in section 12.5.1 as follows :

Every activity that is the target of a link has an implicit or explicit joinCondition attribute associated with it; an activity that is not target of a link has no joinCondition attribute associated with it.

Furthermore it may be helpful to have a similar sentence earlier in the document.
Changes: 9 Oct 2003 - new issue
