Hi all,
i would like to use a exclusive gateway that has three cases, yes, no and “doku”.
If the user chose yes am user task should be in invoked. In the cases of “No” and “Doku” two different messages should be send with email.
When i start an instance of my process definition, I can choose the value for exclusive gateway via dropdown, but I always receive only these mails from the service task “informCustomer”.
process definition:


<userTask id="evaluateRequestByManager" name="Evaluate loan request by manager" activiti:candidateGroups="management">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="customerName" name="Customer name" expression="${loanApplication.customerName}" writable="false"/>
        <activiti:formProperty id="income" name="Income of customer" expression="${loanApplication.income}" writable="false"/>
        <activiti:formProperty id="requestedAmount" name="Requested loan amount" expression="${loanApplication.requestedAmount}" writable="false"/>
        <activiti:formProperty id="creditCheckOk" name="Outcome of credit check" expression="${loanApplication.creditCheckOk}" writable="false"/>
        <activiti:formProperty id="requestApproved" name="Do you approve the request?" required="true" type="enum">
          <activiti:value id="true" name="Yes"/>
          <activiti:value id="false" name="No"/>
          <activiti:value id="doku" name="Doku"/>
        </activiti:formProperty>

Can someone give me an advice what is wrong with my processdefinition?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Werner,

I have found similar process definition (form -> exclusive gateway) in user guide
http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#api.services


    <sequenceFlow id="flow5" sourceRef="requestApprovedDecision" targetRef="adjustVacationRequestTask">
      <conditionExpression xsi:type="tFormalExpression">${vacationApproved == 'false'}</conditionExpression>
    </sequenceFlow>

I think there is difference in ''
