OSB 11g - Conditional Branch Problem using attribute selection

Question

Folks,
Came across a problem using OSB Conditional Branch using attribute selection, it fails & is most likely a bug. It was bug in ALSB2.5 but read in forums was fixed in ALSB 2.6
things I am doing -
1. In the Msg Flow, Conditional branch is @ the start of the flow
Xpath :- ./cm:processLineItem/cm:lineItem/@actionCode
In-Variable: - body
Label: - MODIFY
Operator:- =
Value:- 'Modify'
It fails with BEA-382000 error Code
<con:errorCode>BEA-382000</con:errorCode>
     <con:reason>
     com.bea.wli.sb.stages.StageException: {bea-err}TYPE003: Runtime Type Mismatch
     </con:reason>
What could be wrong with Xpath or is it a Bug ?
Thanks,
Abhijeet

Hi Abhijeet,
Your case is re-producible. It may be a bug.
BTW, I have noticed a strange behaviour -
1. If there is only one attribute then it works fine (<cus:lineItem actionCode="Modify")
2. If the attribute which you want to refer in selection, is in the last then also it works fine (<cus:lineItem priorityRanking="201" quantity="1"> actionCode="Modify")
So I will suggest you to raise a case with support and meanwhile as a workaround I would suggest you to use actionCode attribute in the last of lineItem node. So your XML should be like -
<soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<cus:processLineItem xmlns:com="http://vodafone.com.au/ebo/vha/CommonComponents" xmlns:cus="http://vodafone.com.au/cm/ocv/ebm/CustomerOrder" xmlns:cus1="http://vodafone.com.au/ebo/vha/CustomerManagement">

<com:webUser>test</com:webUser>
<com:channel>string</com:channel>

<com:entityIdentifier>string</com:entityIdentifier>

<com:sourceIdentifier>string</com:sourceIdentifier>

<com:messageIdentifier>string</com:messageIdentifier>
</com:header>
<cus:lineItem priorityRanking="201" quantity="1" actionCode="Modify">
<!--You have a CHOICE of the next 3 items at this level-->
<!--Optional:-->
<cus1:product ID="string">
<!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
<cus1:attribute>
<com:name>test</com:name>
<com:value>test1</com:value>
</cus1:attribute>
</cus1:product>
</cus:lineItem>
</cus:processLineItem>
</soapenv:Body>
