What Happens When You Set Timeouts in Receive Activities

The code segment in the .bpel file defines the specific operation after design completion.

For example, if you specified that the activity expects an inbound message to arrive no later than five minutes after the activity has started execution, the syntax displays as shown in the following example:

<bpelx:for="'PT5M'"/>

For example, if you specified that the activity expects an inbound message to arrive no later than January 24, 2010 11:00 AM UTC+1 after the activity has started execution, the syntax displays as shown in the following code:

<bpelx:until="'2010-01-24T11:00:00-08:00'"/>

For example, if you specified an XPath expression to obtain a value for a timeout relative from when the activity is invoked, syntax similar to that shown in the following code can display:

<bpelx:for="bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/tns:waitValue/tns:for
')"/>
