How to Edit BPEL Activities in the Property Inspector

You can edit the property fields of activities in BPEL 1.1 and 2.0 processes in the Property Inspector of Oracle BPEL Designer in Oracle JDeveloper. This action is the same as double-clicking an activity or right-clicking an activity and selecting Edit, making changes, and clicking Apply or OK.

To edit BPEL activities in the Property Inspector:

  1. In Oracle BPEL Designer, single-click an activity. For this example, an XSLT transform activity is selected in Figure 4-11.
  2. The property fields of the activity are displayed for editing in the Property Inspector below Oracle BPEL Designer.

  3. Make changes and press the Apply key, or navigate away from the activity by clicking another activity.
  4. Return to the activity you edited and note that the changes have been applied.

    You can also edit the actions within a scope activity, such as catch activities, variable, and so on.

  5. Expand a scope activity.
  6. In the Property Inspector, click Variables.

    The Property Inspector is refreshed to display the property fields for a variable, including the Add, Edit, and Delete icons. Figure 4-12 provides details.
