Re: BPEL 2.0 assignment question

Hi Doug,

Something similar to this this would be possible with a custom XPath 
function, but not directly as you intended.   The resulting string needs 
to be parsed back to an XML DOM.

Hi!
I wanted to do something like the following.  Construct an xml element
and assign it to a variable.  I am trying to do so by concatenating some
xml together as a string and assign it to a variable and have it
converted to the type of the variable.  Is there a way to do this or do
you have to assign an element to the variable and then fill in the
parts?

       <variable name="info-var" element="test:info"/>

       ...

       <assign><copy>
