SOA 10.1.3.1 Hints - Episode 1

Over the next weeks I plan to publish tips and tricks around the usage of the upcoming SOA suite, based on questions I see on the forums on OTN.

The first one is about adding properties to bpel.xml (our deployment descriptor) - either on a partnerlink(binding) , as a preference , or configuration .
We strongly recommend to NOT do this in the source view of the file itself, as it could cause sync problems, reflected in loosing them.

Instead use the visual BPEL designer offered. For properties on a partnerlink, simply double-click on it, and choose the properties tab. For process wide preference, click the descriptor icon on the top of the modeler, and add them there.
