Re: [wsbpel] New Issue - Import in AP: basic executable completion
Title: [wsbpel] New Issue - Import in AP: basic executable completion

what about <extensions>?

and a side question:  what are the completion rules for things outside
of the primary activity and handlers?  for instance, can I add a
<variables> element if there isn't one?  If not, can I put an
<opaque> there instead?  Can I add a <variable> element to
an existing <variables> element?  Partnerlinks? 
CorrelationSets?  etc.?

The AP basic completion rules were defined before
BPEL mandatory

<import>s were introduced. The question that is open now is how
do they

affect the basic executable completion rule that is used to

syntactically validate an Abstract Process (from any profile).

  

Currently,  the basic exec completion is :

  

  

A Basic Executable Completion of an Abstract Process is defined as an

Executable Completion whose allowed syntactic transformations are

limited to Opaque Token Replacement, plus the addition of an activity

with createInstance="yes" if none are present in the Abstract Process

(per clause [5] of section 13.1.3. Hiding Syntactic Elements).

  

  

Where  1b1 is:

  

•       Opaque Token Replacement: Replacing every opaque token
(including

those omitted using the omission-shortcut) with a corresponding

Executable token. For example, replacing an opaque activity with an

<empty>.

  

  

So, without changing anything and taking the usage of <import>
means

that one cannot (1) use wsdl/xsd/etc artifacts in the AP that have not

been defined in an imported documents and (2) replace opaque tokens with

artifacts not defined in these documents for the basic exec completion.

  

The question is do we want to allow (1) and (2), or just (2), or
niether?

  

This affects section 13.1 and the two profiles (they have to decide

whether their completions allow adding arbitrary imports, aside from the

basic exec profile )
