Subject: Issue - 292 - Inconsistent statements regarding start activities
This issue has been added to the wsbpel issue list with a status of "received". The status will be changed to "open" if a motion to open the issue is proposed and that motion is approved by the TC. A motion could also be proposed to close it without further consideration. Otherwise it will remain as "received".
The issues list is posted as a Technical Committee document to the OASIS WSBPEL TC pages on a regular basis. The current edition, as a TC document, is the most recent version of the document entitled in the "Issues" folder of the WSBPEL TC document list - the next posting as a TC document will include this issue. The list editor's working copy, which will normally include an issue when it is announced, is available at this constant URL.
Section 5.5 currently states:
"A start activity is a <receive> or a <pick> activity annotated with a createInstance="yes" attribute. Each business process MUST contain at least one start activity. See section 10.4 for more details on start activities."
Section 13.1.3 (paragraph Omission) currently states:
"Note that it is allowed to omit the start activity in an Abstract Process as well (see section 13.1.3. Hiding Syntactic Elements, [5])."
Section 13.4.3 currently states:
"All start activities MUST be defined in a process of this Template Profile. That is, every IMA with a createInstance="yes" attribute that is added during Executable Completion MUST replace an opaque activity with template:createInstance="yes". No new start activity is allowed to be added during Executable Completion."
These statements are inconsistent. The first says that EACH business process must contain at least one start activity. That's not true for abstract processes.
Submitter's proposal: Change the text in section 5.5 to say:
"A start activity is a <receive> or a <pick> activity annotated with a createInstance="yes" attribute. Each executable business process MUST contain at least one start activity. See section 10.4 for more details on start activities."
