Supplying xsi:type Information in XML Sent to ActiveMatrix BPM

When using external clients to pass XML representing BOM information to ActiveMatrix BPM, you must provide an xsi:type when using extended types.

This is described in the specification:

http://www.w3org/TR/xmlschema-1/#xsi_type

An example of this is shown below:

This example shows that if you wish to pass an XML into an interface that is expecting a Person from a Customer, it must contain an xsi:type as illustrated below:

<tns1:PersonElement xmlns:tns1="http://example.org/math/types/" xsi:type="tns1:Customer">
	<name>Fred</name>
	<email>fred@myemail.com</email>
	<phone>01234 567890</phone>
	<custNumber>44556677</custNumber>
</tns1:PersonElement >

http://www.w3 BPM adds an xsi:type value to XML data passed to external systems in a verbose manner. This means that, wherever possible, the xsi:type is present. For clarity, this data is fully compliant with the use of xsi:type as described in the specifications.
