Gateway Implementation.

vickyk — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 07:17:12 GMT

I am planning to create/implement the JIRA for the Gateway of types (Event-Based, Inclusive, Complex).I just checked the latest sourcecode in the trunk and could make that these are yet not implemented, just wanted to double check before I could continue working on it.Regards,Vicky

Hi Vicky,

The event-based,inclusive and complex gateways are not on the critical path for the 5.0 GA release,
because they are constructs that are used to a lesser extent in business process models.

Implementing these gateways takes a huge learning curve, so I wouldn't advise on starting on those constructs.
The chance of them ending up in trunk is small.

Where I do need a lot of help is in figuring out test scenarios, that stretch our BPMN 2.0 implementation.
I'm talking here about combinations such as concurrency combined with subprocesses and timers, etc. while the test still needs to be readable and to the point.
So if you want to get started with Activiti, my take is that by writing such a scenario you learn the most about Activiti.

Do you have a JIRA for this task or I should create the one for it?

There arent any concrete jira's for this, since usually I think of these edge cases when i'm implementing the BPMN 2.0 constructs.

But if you'd like you can always create a jira task for thinking out these edgy test cases.
