[Fwd: [wsbpel] Groups - New Action Item #0074 Adding clarificationtext on XPa...]

[Alex Yiu <alex.yiu@oracle.com>]

Hi all,

The clarification text in this Action Item does not add any normative meanings to spec, IMHO. The clarification text is already implied by other parts of the BPEL spec and XPath 1.0 spec. I want to add text to make it easier for people to follow.

If people think otherwise, please let me know. I would open an issue instead.
Thanks!

Regards,
Alex Yiu

After these paragraph: 
--------------------------
The following XPath extension functions are defined by WS-BPEL and MUST be supported by a WS-BPEL implementation:
	getVariableProperty, described below
	doXslTransform, described in section 8.4. Assignment
These extensions are defined in the standard WS-BPEL namespace. 
--------------------------

Add clarification text on XPath extension function for other NS, as follows: 
--------------------------
WS-BPEL processor MAY make XPath extension function of other namespace available. The  declaration (xref here) does NOT cover those XPath extension functions and XPath functions of other namespace must be always understood by WS-BPEL processor. If unrecognized XPath function is used and if it is detected by static analysis, the process defintion MUST be rejected.

Also, the XPath extension, as always required by XPath semantics, MUST not perform any side-effect operation visible to the WS-BPEL process.
