Hi, BPEL uses XPath as expression language, and ODE also supports XPath 2.0 powered by Saxon. Thus, you can use the XPath function current-dateTime [1]. Regarding the date comparison, XPath provides some helper functions but I doubt that they are fully implemented by Saxon. But since you could add your own XPath functions (implemented in Java and then put to ODE's classpath), you would overcome these problems.
