Hi all,

can Activiti handle complex gateways and how they schould be define?

Sorry, no, it would have been in the docs if it was supported. It might be a good idea though to give explicit errors about this and not fail on the sequenceflow.

Normally the parser should log a warning that you are using an unsupported element.

the question is:
if the complex gateway isn't supported, which gateway should I use then in this case?

The scenario is:
The WriteToFile Task should start as soon as the one of both other Service Tasks throw exception. Can XOR Gateway solve a problem?

Thanks

You can just catch the exception in your Java delegation class and select the transition yourself.
