| <p> | |
| Namespaces are URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) that uniquely | |
| identify a set of resources on the Internet. Because URIs can be very | |
| lengthy, shorthand aliases called prefixes are typically defined and | |
| used in XML files to make the XML more readable. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| The <strong>Namespaces</strong> tab | |
| lists all of the namespace URIs and their prefixes in scope for the | |
| currently selected activity. Whenever you create a reference to an | |
| external property (an element defined in an XSD) whose namespace has | |
| not yet been assigned a prefix, the BPEL Designer will prompt you to | |
| create a prefix. This can also be done beforehand through the <strong>Namespace</strong> | |
| tab of the <strong>Properties</strong> sheet for the | |
| property by clicking the <strong>Assign Prefix</strong> button. | |
