Dear Paco and other Colleagues,
Just a point of detail. Suppose an XML schema is being imported that
has not target namespace (i.e. a no namespace schema). Should we have a
special value for the namespace attribute in this case as it is required
and so can not just be omitted?
Best Regards Tony

Subject: RE: [wsbpel] Issue 7 - approved proposal.
Here is the updated text of the proposal we approved in yesterday's
call:
Introduce a single <bpel:import> element used to import XSD, WSDL
definitions. Zero or more <bpel:import> elements may appear as first
children of the <bpel:process> element. Three required attributes must
be:
- "namespace": target namespace being imported
- "location": where to find the imported information
- "importType": identifies the type of document being imported by
providing the URI of the encoding language: either
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
or "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/".
For example:
<bpel:import namespace="..." location="document-location"
importType="XYZ-namespace-uri"/>
A <bpel:import> import element will be interpreted as a hint for BPEL
processors. In particular, processors are not required to retrieve the
imported document from the specified location.
