Title: BPEL Schema question

Hi guys,

Mark has the following suggestion to use the data type other than NCName to restrict the "." usage in variable names.

I am OK with it. Thought?

Thanks!

Regards, Alex Yiu

Hi Alex,

What do you think about changing the data type of a variable's name to be a restriction of NCName to disallow the "." as described in Section 8.1? The dot is a legal value for NCNames but disallowed for Xpath binding purposes of message variables.

This also applies to the name of the counter attribute on a <forEach>.

I'd prefer to catch these types of errors with the XSD as opposed to having to write code to catch them during static analysis.

Thanks.
