Subject: Re: [wsbpel] Issue 191 - Receive/createProcess/Rendezvous from withinWhile loop (New Proposed Issue Announcement)
This issue has a dependency on issue 81. Issue 81 proposes adding the following language to section 11.4: "A receive/pick activity annotated in this way MUST be a "start activity". A "start activity" is an initial activity that has a createInstance="yes" attribute defined on it. An initial activity is a receive/pick activity where no other activities but scope, flow, sequence and empty activities occur before it in the process's execution path." The result of this language is that the receive would be illegal as the presence of the while activity would mean that the receive is not an initial activity and therefore cannot be a start activity and therefore is illegal. I actually think the example in 191 is already illegal even without 81 because section 6.5 as it currently stands requires that no 'base activity'/initial activity occur before a start activity. But I agree that the current language is ambiguous which is why 81 proposed clarifying matters. Yaron Danny van der Rijn wrote: > I must have formatted my mail to Tony incorrectly.
