There are limitations that you should be aware of when using the business object editor, or when working with business objects.
  • Due to a limitation in the Business Process Choreographer tag library in IBM® Integration Designer, JSPs generated as human task clients will not be able to accomodate xsd:any, choice and substitution group constructs out of the box. You will need to use your own custom code using the Service Data Object (SDO) API in order to work with these constructs. For more information, see IBM Technote 1306783 External link opens a new window or tab.
  • Some assistive screen readers may not be able to read the contents of the table view properly. It is recommended that users of screen readers who experience problems with this view work in the graph view and properties view instead. However, there is no editing function which can only be performed in the table view.
  • The business object editor will work with a wide variety of well-formed XSD beyond what is generated by the tool itself. This allows imported XSDs to be viewed and edited in the tools alongside natively created business objects. If an imported XSD contains attribute group or element group references however, the business object editor may disable some editing functionality related to attribute reordering. Also, renaming and changing the type is also disabled. Essential editing capabilities (cardinality, patterns, and so on) will continue to be enabled.
