Issue - 66 - Zero or multiple matches of correlation set

Status: open
Date added: 19 Sep 2003
Submitter: Ricky Ho
Date submitted: 16 September 2003
Description:

1) When an incoming message matches multiple process instances, which one will get the message ?

e.g. ProcessA is executing

    <receive portType="PT1" operation="oper" ...   	createInstance="yes"/>

ProcessB is executing

    <receive portType="PT1" operation="oper" ...  	createInstance="yes"/>
       An instance of processC is executing 
    <receive portType="PT1" operation="oper" ...   createInstance="no"/>

Lets say someone invoke "PT1/oper" and it matches the correlation set of the processC instance. Who gets the message ?

2) When an incoming message matches zero process instances, does the sender get a fault ? or the message will be queued until a matching process instances gets it later

e.g. A sender invoke "PT2/oper2" but no process is listening in that.
