In EP 5.5 we were using a pre-final version of the BPEL specification. This meant that the BPEL language as specified in the BPEL schemas was not identical to the final specification. Processes built with the EP IDE (including samples) were based on that pre-final version of the bpel schemas. This also meant the bpel extensions for wsdl (partner link type, property, and property aliases). In EP 5.5.1 we will be using the (hopefullly) final version of the BPEL specifciation. This requires us to use different schema. This will not affect new processes designed in EP 5.5.1. However, for processes built in EP 5.5, these processes will not work in EP 5.5.1 until they are upgraded. Docs need to alert users to this issue and provide workaround instructions. Our plan for 5.5.1. was to basically indicate that any BPEL processes using the July schema are not visualizable, buildable or deployable without being manually upgraded to the Dec. specification. What does manually upgraded mean? - changing the namespace declarations to refer to the Dec. (hopefully final) version of the BPEL 2.0 xsds - running validation to point out the problems introduced by the spec changes - manaually adjusting the BPEL source to bring it into compliance with the new xsd version. For more details see issues linked to umbrella for this topic - issue 88930.
Irina, not sure who this should go to. You or Alyona?
I will put this in the Developers Guide, the Troubleshooting section. Thanks for notification.
Changed to P2, this is a docs issue, does not warrant P1.
The information about using BPEL 2.0 schema in BPEL Designer was added to the 5.5.1 version of the Developer Guide to the BPEL Designer. See here: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/1/bpel_gsg_troubleshoot.html
Verified in 5.5.1 version of the Developer Guide to the BPEL Designer http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/1/bpel_gsg_troubleshoot.html
