Pre Assert Dialog or Post Assert Dialog or Assert Dialog

2.146 Pre Assert Dialog or Post Assert Dialog or Assert Dialog

Use to create an assertion condition that is executed upon receipt of a callback message in request-response invoke activities, receive activities, and onMessage branches of pick or scope activities.

The assertion specifies an XPath expression that, when evaluated to false, causes a BPEL fault to be thrown from the activity. If no fault name is specified in the Pre Assert or Post Assert dialog, it defaults to an AssertFailure exception.

The type of assertion condition you select (preassert or postassert) is displayed in the Type column of the activity.
