</validityStatement>

Business Process Example

This business process assumes that the output message values are found in the process data: 

<operation name="ValidateDoc">
	<participant name="BPSSDocParser"/>
	<output message="validateCondExpr">
	<assign to="documentId" from="documents/document[1]/doc:document-id/text()"/>
	<assign to="expression" 
    from="string(ProcessSpecification/Package/BinaryCollaboration
     [@name=//binaryCollaboration/text()]
/Success[@fromBusinessState=//businessTransactionActivity/text()]/
     ConditionExpression/@expression)"/>
	</output>
	<input message="validateCondResponse">
	<assign to="result" from="validityStatement/validate/value/text()"/>
	</input> 
</operation>
