Title: Does EA support BPEL Variables?
Post by: potterm on September 19, 2010, 03:25:07 am
I'm considering using BPMN and BPEL to model the business processes for a upcoming project (with a view to using the BPEL generation features of EA), but couldn't find any way in EA's implementation to process variables (e.g. per the example at the end of this page from the Apache ODE documentation: http://ode.apache.org/assign.html).

I've been able to attach properties to tasks within a process, but then found no way to assign or transfer them.  For example, when creating BPMN assignments the properties dialog only allows selection of web service messages as a valid source/destination and there is no "variable" assignment type, so it appears as if this part of the BPEL spec is not supported by EA.  Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance for any/all replies.

Martin.
