Symptoms

1. Develop a composite in 11.1.1.5 that contains a BPEL which has an email activity which sends an email.
2. Deploy this in a 11.1.1.5 SOA server and confirm it works.
3. Open this composite in JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 (It will prompt to update the project)
4. Load the BPEL
5. Deploy the composite to a 11.1.1.7 server and send an email - you will note it works as normal
6. Double click on the Email activity in the BPEL and make a change. e.g. change the email address *
7. Close the dialog and press OK.
8. Try and deploy the composite. JDeveloper will hang at the validating composite stage:

scac:
[scac] Validating composite
"H:\JDev_11_1_1_7_0\mywork\SOA_Current\XXIC_ErrorNotifyAsync\composite.xml"

Adding value for FromUserName and deploying project again and you will get compilation error :

Error(100): The XPath segment "child::ns1:FromUserName" cannot be resolved.

Notification.xsd :

Checking BPEL code :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BPEL code before the changes :

<sequence name="Sequence1">
<assign name="EmailParamsAssign">
<copy>
<from>string('Default')</from>
<to variable="varNotificationReq" part="EmailPayload"><query>ns1:FromAccountName</query></to>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>string('')</from>
<to variable="varNotificationReq" part="EmailPayload"><query>ns1:Bcc</query></to>
</copy>
<copy>

BPEL code after changes :

<sequence name="Sequence1">
<assign name="EmailParamsAssign">
<copy>
<from>string('Default')</from>
<to variable="varNotificationReq" part="EmailPayload">
<query>ns1:FromAccountName</query> </to>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>string('')</from>
<to variable="varNotificationReq" part="EmailPayload">
<query>ns1:FromUserName</query> </to>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>string('')</from>
<to variable="varNotificationReq" part="EmailPayload">
<query>ns1:Bcc</query> </to>
</copy>

This variable FromUserName is not defined in Notification.xsd for the
EmailPayloadType

<xsd:complexType name="EmailPayloadType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="FromAccountName" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="To" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="ReplyToAddress" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="Subject" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="Content" type="ContentType"/>
