4.3. Property Section Tabs

Table 4.3. Property Sections

Name Description
Description tab The Description tab contains the activity name. Names must follow XML element naming conventions, limiting characters to letters, numbers and certain special characters only (spaces are not permitted).
Join Behavior tab Join conditions are evaluated by the target activities of links. With the drop-down Expression language menu, enter an XPath expression that defines the condition of the join. The Suppress Join Failure behavior defined by the process or a containing scope can be overridden with the radio buttons at the bottom.
Correlation tab The Correlation tab lists all correlations that are used by the currently selected Receive, Reply or Invoke activity. Correlations can be added to or removed from the activity through this tab.
Namespaces tab Namespaces are URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) that uniquely identify a set of resources on the Internet. Shorthand aliases called prefixes are typically used in XML files to make them more readable. The Namespaces tab lists all of the namespace URIs and their prefixes in scope for the currently selected activity. Whenever you create a reference to an external property (an element defined in an XSD) whose namespace has not yet been assigned a prefix, the BPEL Designer will prompt you to create a prefix. This can also be done through the Namespace tab of the Properties sheet for the property by clicking the Assign Prefix button.
Message Exchange tab Message exchanges are used to associate a Reply activity with an inbound message activity and can be either a Receive, OnMessage or OnEvent. These are descriptive names given to a request-response conversation between two parties and must conform to XML element naming conventions.
