Dear Community,

In this section of bpel-application.xml there is a field that need to be updated. What should be putted in the Address field?

<partnerLink name="sessionFactory">
<partnerRole>
<wsa:EndpointReference xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing">
<wsa:Address>USE_ACTUAL_URI_FROM_CATALOG</wsa:Address>
 <wsa:ServiceName xmlns:ses="urn:samples:session">ses:sessionService</wsa:ServiceName>
</wsa:EndpointReference>
</partnerRole>
</partnerLink>

Thanks JOshua

Endpoint addresses are pretty volatile pieces of data. Services move around, and web administrators do not always exercise the best practices to prevent a physical relocation from becoming a logical one.
jBPM BPEL tries to rely on the address as little as possible. It resolves references to actual ports in the service catalog in the following manner:

if there is a service name
 look for that service
 if there is a port name
 get that port from the service, ignoring the given address
 otherwise
 look for a port that implements the partner port type,
 preferring one that matches the given address
otherwise
 look for a service with a port that implements the partner port type,
 preferring one that matches the given address

Given the previous arguments, you might wonder why I write the <wsa:Address> at all. It's just that the schema document states it is required.
