Business Process Example

The following example illustrates using the ebXML Validation service in a business process:

<process name="testEBXMLValidationService"> 
    <sequence> 
       <operation name="ebXMLValidation"> 
         <participant name="ebXMLValidationService"/> 
           <output message="ebXMLValidationInputMessage"> 
              <assign to="inboundMIME" from="InboundMIME/node()"/> 
              <assign to="CPA" from="cpa/node()"/> 
              <assign to="BPSSParam" from="bpssParams/node()"/> 
              <assign to="InboundDocId" 
                from="string(inbound-mime-document/doc:document-id)"/> 
            </output> 
            <input message="ebXMLValidationOutputMessage"> 
                <assign to="." from="errors"/>
