Support for the complex gateway

[b_schnarr]

Hello at all,

I would like to know if there are plans to support the complex gateway in engine, designer and modeler?
In addition, the same question is true for Compensation Boundary Events, Compensation Intermediate Throwing Events and Compensation Handlers.

Thanks for your answers

Best regards
Ben

I remember (long, long ago, jbpm 3 days) that we tried to do that (I believe that Tom met with prof. Van der Aalst), but back in the day a 'java fallback' was not considered as covering the pattern.

Maybe, this here could be helpful?
https://github.com/intalio/bpmn2/blob/master/org.eclipse.mdt.bpmn/src/org/eclipse/mdt/bpmn/impl/Comp...

The way to support 100 % of all Workflow-Patterns is not that far. Look at this here: https://activiti.atlassian.net/browse/ACT-4015

We understand the functionality of the complex gateway. Our goal is to support the constructs mentioned in ACT-4015, it will just take some time to get there.

Best regards,

thanks for this information, Tijs. Are those missing constructs already priorized on the roadmap?

Current priority is Activiti 6, and it will be for a while. So don't get your hopes up.
