Abstract:  Support for part-level messages used by transformation service

Description/symptom of problem:  1) Symptom:
   --------

   If you use the transformation service when you model a business process, an assertion error occurs when you publish or install the business process:
   
   BPEA0010E: Unexpected exception during execution.
   java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: com.ibm.bpe.api.UnexpectedFailureException: 
   BPEA0010E: Unexpected exception during execution.
   com.ibm.bpe.util.ProcessAssertionError: 
   Assertion violation !(typeName or elementName of part 'In1' must not null) in method 
   >> at com.ibm.bpe.util.BPELUtilities.convertMessage(BPELUtilities.java:584) <<
   
2) Problem:
   --------
   
   Process choreographer does not support part-level messages used by the transformation service. To prevent users from executing such business processes, the BPEL validator creates error messages for variables that use part-level messages.
   
3) Solution:
   ---------
   
   This interim fix enables process choreographer to handle variables using part-level messages from transformation services and Java snippets. 
This interim fix also requires an interim fix to WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition.
