Issue 197: Un-initializing BPEL 
variables

Status: received
Date added: 12 Mar 
2005
Categories: Data 
Handling
Date submitted: 11 March 2004
Submitter: Yaron Y. Goland
Description: Is it 
legal/possible to un-initialize a variable in BPEL? What happens, for example, 
if one tries to assign a static from value that is empty? Should we allow for 
from-spec to be empty and have that mean that the target is 
uninitialized?
Submitter’s proposal: Being able to un-initialize 
variables is a generically useful thing. It makes it clear when a variable 
doesn't contain a 'useful' value. So I think we should provide a way to 
un-initialize variables.
