Issue - 81 - Are start activities that aren't createInstance activities legal?

Status: open
Date added: 3 Nov 2003
Submitter: Yaron Goland
Date submitted: 31 October 2003
Document: Main doc
Description: It is currently unclear if the spec requires that all initial activities 
be start activities (i.e. have createInstance="true") or not.

In other words is the following legal?

<process>
   ...
   <flow>
      <receive createInstance="yes".../>
      <receive createInstance="no".../>
   </flow>
</process>
