The <varInitializer> element contains an expression that provides the initial value for the variable that is defined in the associated <variable> element.
Because the variable can be of any type, the expression code can return an array object or any other complex, implementation-specific object to be stored by the Active Correlation Technology engine.
Refer to Variables for information about the variables that can be used in expressions. The use of certain variables is dependent on the context of the expression.
