Parallel OR-join

What is the best way to implement OR-join of a previously split branches in activiti? Basically let the first branch to finish win. I tried the following simplistic process to do this, but it never reaches finished state. I was trying it with 5.7 —(Receive Task1)—(Start)—(+Ga

Hi,

In BPMN you would normally solve this using message events, but that's not yet supported with Activiti.
So for now I would solve this by using a sub process for the receive tasks. When one of the receive tasks is executed use a error end event to stop the sub process.
I know this is not very pretty, but it should work.

Best regards,
