ODE doesn't support variable initialization yet. See here: http://ode.apache.org/ws-bpel-20-specification-compliance.html
The only way to initialize a message variable is through a copy operation within an assign activity. You can initialize all of the parts of a message at once if you are copying from another message variable of the same message type. If you are copying from an expression, literal, or other variable type then you need to specify the message part in the to specification.

Is it possible to initialize message type variable fully using literal with out specifying to-part? <assing> <copy> <from> <literal> ... </literal> </from> <to variable="msgVar1"> </copy> </assing> For assing/copy that is not problem, but how with inline variable initialization? Should such way be supported? Thanks, Madars -- Mark Ford MIT Lincoln Laboratory 244 Wood Street Lexington MA 02420 (781) 981-1843
