Unable to deal with empty "query" element in to-spec
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODE-158
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODE-158
             Project: ODE
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: BPEL Compilation/Parsing
    Affects Versions: 1.1
         Environment: JDK 1.5.0_11
Axis2 Distro
WinXP x64

            Reporter: Richard Taylor
            Priority: Trivial


Note: A patch is attached for this issue.

There is currently a common case in the Eclipse BPEL editor which inserts an 
empty "query" element in the to-spec of an "Assign" activity.   Ode throws an 
IllegalStateException stating "XPath string and xpath node are both null".  It 
is arguable whether this is a Eclipse BPEL issue or Ode issue.  I feel this is 
an issue on the editor side, not Ode, however we needed to work around it until 
the Eclipse BPEL project stops producing empty Query elements.   

Fixing this removes one more hurdle for someone trying to use the Eclipse BPEL 
editor with Ode.

To reproduce this, using the latest Eclipse BPEL editor, simply create a 
process and create an Assign activity in which a value is assigned to a 
variable or a message part, but no deeper, i.e. don't specify a query.

Again, this is not a critical fix for Ode, it's something we needed in order to 
work with the Eclipse BPEL editor and Ode.  If the Eclipse editor fixes this on 
their side, this issue will go away.
