Description bugbridge 2006-06-16 14:55:54 UTC
Description:
Steps to reproduce:
- start the IDE
- open the TravelReservationService sample project
- start PXE server
- deploy the project
- start a new debug session (right-click on the project node and call "Debug
Project" from the context menu)
- set a breakpoint in the Assign statement line of the BPEL source view 
- run HasHotel test scenario, wait until it stops at the breakpoint
- navigate the cursor to the "ItineraryIn" variable in the "Local Variables"
view and press on an ellipsis button in the value field
Result: A value editor window appears but content is inaccessible to edit. It's
impossible to edit the variable value via properties either.

Evaluation:
This is a bug, but it is not fixable for now. The problem is that there is no
support for dynamically chaning the value in the PXE runtime. This bug cannot be
fixed until the runtime supports such functionality. 
Recommend defer.

Evaluation (Entry 2):
According to the spec it is not a bug but a nice feature to have.
Comment 1 Joshua Sandusky 2006-08-07 21:04:02 UTC
Note that the PXE runtime is no longer used, and this is now marked as an
ENHANCEMENT to the debuggerse/bpelse debugger. We should allow modification of
variable values during a debugging session.
Comment 2 Alexander Zgursky 2006-11-14 18:30:57 UTC
This issue depends on the BPELSE issue #6493528 filed in bugster
Comment 3 Alexander Zgursky 2007-01-22 07:38:24 UTC
Now user can change the values of BPEL Variables. User can only _change_ the
value, i.e. if the variable is not initialized, its value can not be changed
manualy. If variable's value is an XML Element - user can only change the values
of its text nodes and attributes.
