Description Robert Brodt

2010-07-21 13:49:54 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

The validator does not understand data types of variables and message parts: if an element's type is boolean it should be possible to use it in a condition, but the validator reports this as "not a boolean expression".

Actually, since we're still using XPath 1.0, there IS no type checking. But, the validator should still allow unary literal and variable references.

Woraround is to use a relational operator to compare the element to 'true', e.g.:

$Message.payload/isOrderValid = 'true' 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the above expression into an "IF" condition
