Hi tammo!

thank you for your good answer. it's an understandable reason, to not 
support the remote references.
wish you a happy new year. :)


best regards

Hi Dominic,

since BPEL process instances may be long-running, we decided to not support
remote references to WSDLs, since raises a bunch of questions: When would
the remote WSDL be loaded, what would happen if the WSDL changed meanwhile,
etc. Thus, the process author needs to get the definition and "package" it
along with the process and deployment descriptor. If the WSDL changes, a
new version of the process can be deployed and the process versioning
mechanism of ODE kicks in to route the messages to the correct version.

tl;dr: yes, this is intentional ;)

HTH,
  Tammo
