Issue - 222 - What's the state of a receive after a correlationViolation?

Status: received
Date added: 19 Jul 2005
Categories: Correlation
Date submitted: 18 July 2005
Submitter: Yaron Y. Goland
Description: Imagine receiving a request/response which is being correlated using 
both BPEL correlation sets as well as some underlying mechanism like 
WS-Addressing. It turns out that that the WS-Addressing correlation 
matched so the message was delivered but it then turns out that the BPEL 
correlation sets didn't match so a correlationViolation was thrown.

Question #1 - Was the message received? In other words, when do we define the fault as having been thrown, before or after the message is received?

Question #2 - Can a reply be sent?

Question #3 - Is this scenario even legal? If a message doesn't match the BPEL level correlation sets then is reception simply a 'non-event'?
Submitter’s proposal: We should either make this entire scenario illegal or we should put in language into the spec that states that this scenario is legal, the message MUST be received and that a reply is allowed.
