Are Event Based Gateways already supported by Activiti?

If I deploy a process with an event based gateway, i will receive exception messages like
'Invalid source 'sid-76133D9D-4007-44ED-8FF5-0EA1494C20A7' of sequence flow 'sid-4761CDCF-FC45-44A4-9852-0707F71A96F0' | myBPMN.bpmn20.xml | line 130 | column 182'

The source id is the id of the eventBasedGateway.

Regards,
Daniel

No sorry, there is a warning earlier on in the logging that says it found a non supported element. The next release will make this an error and stop parsing there afaik.

Okay. In my case I could modele a workaround with a boundary event. But when will event based gateways be supported? Is there already a Jira request for this issue?

Further a suggestion: This try and error sucks to figure out which elements are supported and which not. I know there is a documentation. But this documentation is not complete and I don't like to change nearly 75% of my Business Process Model to make it readable for Activiti. A simple list of all BPMN 2.0 elements with a mark if it is supported or not and a link to the related Jira if it is not supported would be very helpful.

Can you indicate where you belief the documentation on BPMN 2.0 is not complete?
Afaik, all element that we support are documented in detail in the userguide. If you want a simple list, just check the index page on top.

E.g. Data Objects and the Send Task.

Data Objects are not supported, since they are not implemented yet. Hence why they arent documented.

For the send task we have an implementation, but it is not documented because it is not found to be stable yet.
