Issue - 255 - Text from 8.4 about dynamicity of XSLT should be removed

Status: received
Date added: 25 Mar 2006
Categories: Other specifications
Date submitted: 24 March 2006
Submitter: Simon Moser
Description: The Text 8.4 about the dynamicity of XSLT should be removed

In Section 8.4, there is some text (which used to be a footnote):

> Style sheets associated with a process (through its doXslTransform
> invocations) are considered part of the process definition, and in most situations would not change at run-time. However, WS-BPEL processors MAY dynamically update associated style sheets at run-time, as long as all requirements of this specification are still met (in particular, the semantics of "atomic" assignment and serialized scopes).
We (TC at f-t-f, Stuttgart) think that talking about dynamically changing of XSLT artifacts is out of scope for the specification, since we do not talk about dynamically changing WSDL or XSD files that are referenced from the process, too.
Submitters proposal:

Remove the text shown above from the specification.
Changes: 25 Mar 2006 - new issue
