Title: Message

This 
issue in fact started with a status of open, since it was raised by the TC 
meeting, with Alex acting as the agent.  The preamble to the email is 
auto-generated and I was too lazy to change it for a 
one-off.

  [wsbpel] Issue - 241 - clarification of onevent resource 
  resolution

  
This issue has been added to the wsbpel issue list with a status of 
  "received". The status will be changed to "open" if a motion to open the issue 
  is proposed and that motion is approved by the TC. A motion could also be 
  proposed to close it without further consideration. Otherwise it will remain 
  as "received". 
  
The issues list is posted as a Technical Committee document to the OASIS WSBPEL TC 
  pages on a regular basis. The current edition, as a TC document, is the 
  most recent version of the document entitled in the "Issues" folder of 
  the WSBPEL 
  TC document list - the next posting as a TC document will include this 
  issue. The list editor's working copy, which will normally include an issue 
  when it is announced, is available at this 
  constant URL. 
  Issue - 241 - clarification of onevent resource

Description: During the discussion of issue 120.2 : Correlation and zero part messages , 
  Danny made a proposal to collapse onEvent and scope into one syntactic 
  element. Some TC members expressed concern that it does not fit original Issue 
  120.2 description. Hence, I here propose a new issue and its description to 
  follow that up. 
  
There are a number of resources used by onEvent: 
  
    
partnerLink 
    
correlationSet 
    
messageExchange 
    
variables: message variable (based on "variable" attribute) and non 
    message variable (based on <fromPart>) 

  
(Note: now onEvent must have a scope associated with it. ) 
  
The resolution rule of those resources are a bit inconsistent and 
  underspecified in the current text: 
  
    
partnerLink : resolved only to parent scope only 
    
correlation, messageExchange: resolved to both parent scope and 
    associated scope 
    
variables and messageExchange: resolved to the associated scope only 
    

  
We need to review these resolution policy, potentially make them more 
  consistent and spell it out clearly in spec text. 
  
In addition to resolution policy clarification and clearup, we may collapse 
  the <onEvent> syntactic element with the <scope> syntactic 
  element, if that make BPEL developers life easier (along the line of Danny's 
  resolution. See link below)
