> Often times, one would like to be able to assert some influence over the 
> runtime behavior of a BPEL process even though it is "code-complete". As a 
> matter of fact, we already externalize certain process properties and wirings 
> in a deployment artifact known as deploy.xml. However, we stop short of 
> exposing those properties in the BPEL process, which is a known limitation.
> What we need is a mechanism to reference properties defined at deploy-time 
> directly in the BPEL process. To that end, we will define an extension XPath 
> function that will return the node object corresponding to the qualified name 
> of a process property, as follows:
>     ode:process-property($name as item() ) as node()
> where $name refers to any schema item that resolves to a QName, and
>              the return node value is the child of the property element with 
> the given name.
> Let us see how a service EPR that is defined at deploy-time can be 
> dynamically assigned to a partner link in the BPEL process, thereby changing 
> the target location of that partner after the fact. In the snippet of 
> deploy.xml shown below, the process called "tns:process" is assigned a 
> property called "auctionEpr" whose value is set to a BPEL <service-ref> 
> element. 
>     <deploy xmlns="http://www.apache.org/ode/schemas/dd/2007/03";
>                    xmlns:tns="http://ode/bpel/process";>
>       <process name="tns:process">
>            <property name="auctionEpr">
>             <sref:service-ref 
>                 xmlns:sref=" http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/serviceref";
>                 xmlns:addr="http://example.com/addressing";
>                 xmlns:as="http://example.com/auction/wsdl/auctionService/";>
>                 <addr:EndpointReference>
>                     
> <addr:Address>http://example.com/auction/RegistrationService/</addr:Address>
>                     
> <addr:ServiceName>as:RegistrationService</addr:ServiceName>
>                 </addr:EndpointReference>
>             </sref:service-ref>
>           </property>...
>         </process>
>     </deploy>
> In order to assign this user-defined EPR to a certain partner link, you would 
> use an assign statement that looks something like this:
>     <assign>
>          <copy>
>             <from>ode:process-property("epr")</from>
>             <to partnerLink="auctionRegistrationService" />
>          </copy>
>     </assign>
