RE: [sca-bpel] Issue 2 - Does the spec allow a componentType side file?

Note that I’ve just submitted this
new issue to the Assembly TC, suggesting the introduction of
service/@implementationRef and reference/@implementaitonRef in component types.

 

I would suggest that, as part of the resolution of issue 2,
the BPEL TC describe the contents of the @implementationRef attribute as
follows:

 

The @implementationRef attribute
MUST contain a valid XPath 1.0 expression, which when executed on a BPEL
process returns exactly one <partnerLink> element.  The partnerLink thus
identified will be considered to correspond to the service or reference that
contained the @implementationRef attribute.  If a service or reference
does not have an @implementationRef attribute, then it will act as if it had @implementationRef=”//partnerLink[@name=’$name’]”,
where $name is the value of the @name attribute of that service or reference.
