Creating Message Properties and Property Aliases
Create a property definition, and add it to an existing WSDL. Create a new WSDL, if desired, for a property based on a schema simple type. Select properties defined in a WSDL to use in a correlation set.
If your WSDL file does not include message property definitions, you can add them automatically to an existing WSDL or create a new WSDL for them. The property is automatically added to the corresponding process variables.
You use message properties and property aliases to create a correlation set. For an overview, see What is Correlation? and What is a Correlation Set?
In preparation for creating message properties and property aliases, consider the following:
- •Which activities need to be correlated?
- •Do these activities contain messages with a piece of common data?
If your WSDL file does not include message property definitions, you can add them automatically to an existing WSDL or create a new WSDL for them. The property is automatically added to the corresponding process variables.
Before you create message properties, ensure that your BPEL process references a WSDL file in the Imports section of the Outline view. See Importing WSDL, Schema, and Other Resources for details.
