Issue - 155 - complexType Variables

Status: open
Categories: Data Handling
Date added: 28 Jul 2004
Submitter: Yaron Y. Goland
Date submitted: 27 July 2004
Description: BPEL variables are currently restricted to be either 
simpleTypes or elements. But WSDL messages consist of parts that can be 
defined using complexTypes. This prevents certain pretty obvious 
scenarios such as defining a variable with the same type as a part, 
manipulating the variable and then using it to initialize parts in WSDL 
messages.
Submitter's proposal: We should remove the restriction that the type 
attribute on a variable declaration can only point at a simpleType 
definition.
Changes: 28 Jul 2004 - new issue
