Hi Tammo,
I developed a simple bpel process that returns output based on this
processing on input (XPath extension for pwd decryption):
<copy>
<from>string($inputVar.inputType/ns2:paramA)</from>
<to>$encStr</to>
</copy>
<copy xmlns:ext="java:org.anil.PwdUtil">
<from
expressionLanguage="urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:sublang:xpath2.0">ext:encrypt(encStr)</from>
<to>$outputVar.resultType/ns2:paramA</to>
</copy>
There are encrypt() and decrypt() functions in PwdUtil class. When I invoke
encrypt(), I get valid response. When I call decrypt(), the input variable
to the function is blank "" and so things go wrong & my call fails. I added
other methods to class to verify but none got invoked.
A simple test() method also failed interestingly. But encrypt() works!!!!!
Things don't work even if I have only 1 function in my class! I even tried
the expressionLanaguage "urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:sublang:xpath1.0" but
no difference.
Is this some issue with Ode? I am currently testing this on WSO2 BPS 1.1
which is based on Apache Ode 2.0.
Thanks,
Anil
