[ODE-922] Problem with BPEL 1.1 literal initialization support

Description

I am trying to port some BPEL 1.1 workflows to ODE 1.3.5 but am having difficulty with assigning literal XML.

According to all the discussions and specs for BPEL 1.1 I have found, the correct <from> syntax for literals is <from>some literal value</from>.

In BPEL 2.0 this appears to have changed to <from><literal>...</literal></from> but <literal> is not defined for BPEL 1.1.

For example, given the namespaces:

xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"
xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/"

and given a schema type:

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:MyNamespace" xmlns="urn:MyNamespace" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:complexType name="CredentialsType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="UsernameToken">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Username" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="Password" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>

The following BPEL should be valid:

<variables>
<variable name="myliteralvar" type="myns:CredentialsType"/>
</variables>

<assign name="assign1">
<copy>
<from >
<myns:UsernameToken xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace">
<myns:username xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace" />
<myns:password xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace" />
</myns:UsernameToken>
</from>
<to variable="myliteralvar"/>
</copy>
</assign>

And result is the variable, myliteralvar taking the value

<myns:UsernameToken xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace">
<myns:username xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace" />
<myns:password xmlns:myns="urn:MyNamespace" />
</myns:UsernameToken>

However Ode 1.3.5 complains on deployment with

"Unrecognized element in BPEL dom:

{urn:MyNamespace}

UsernameToken"

Followed by

"error: [UnknownFromSpec] From-spec format is unrecognized.

I have attached a full example where I modified the HelloWorld BPEL to use BPEL 1.1. It deploys successfully if the above assign is removed.

Is this a known bug in Ode or is there some configuration apart from the BPEL namespace that is required to have Ode recognize BPEL 1.1 syntax?

Note: I am setting the filename and bpel11wsdlFileName on the process element in deploy.xml

<process name="pns:HelloWorld4"
fileName="HelloWorld4.bpel"
bpel11wsdlFileName="HelloWorld4.wsdl"
>
<active>true</active>
<provide partnerLink="helloPartnerLink">
<service name="wns:HelloService" port="HelloPort"/>
</provide>
</process>
