Subject: RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 137 - Making properties consistent with variable values
This issue represents a misunderstanding
of the semantics of properties in BPEL. Properties are not akin to variables and
are not set nor do they exist independently. A property “occurs”
in a message. One can already get and set it in a message through
getVariableProperty and property assignment. Thus the fragment “the
variable is edited to change one Only correlation sets have independently
set values, and they are set at the time of a web service interaction only. Perhaps Issue 8 was not redundant after
all .. Satish From: ws-bpel issues

- 137 - Making properties consistent with variable values
Status: open Imagine a
variable that contains a purchase order and the NumOrder property which
contains a count of how many orders are in the 2) We
should either ban assigning directly to properties or we should specify that
properties that are not LValues (e.g. resolve to a single node in the
underlying variable) are read-only and properties that are LValues can be
written to but the consequence of doing so is that the node in the underlying
variable is changed. To
