Comment 3 Kris Verlaenen 2012-01-02 19:30:21 UTC 
Correct, gateways with gateway direction Mixed or Unspecified or no gatewayDirection attribute specified, cannot be parsed correctly, as these gateway types are currently not (yet) supported by jBPM (hence the error message).  While we might add support for these in the editor(s) in the future, I would not recommend adding support for this in the runtime parser for this release.
