Description Radovan Synek 2012-03-28 11:51:26 UTC

Conditional flow can be used without gateways (multiple outgoing connections from activity node, each with it's condition) by BPMN2 specification.

Guvnor BPMN designer supports this feature, but when you try to build knowledge base with this process definition, you get Exception - "This type of node cannot have more than one outgoing connection!"

Comment 2 Maciej Swiderski 2012-06-14 11:30:05 UTC

This was implemented on master (5.4.0-SNAPSHOT):
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/commit/e19270b87d0faa7d1e5931a5cb674aa47f14d541
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/commit/8f0c9db262ae5611d16159454d43cd091c668f0e

As recommendation is to use gateways this feature is by default disabled and can be enabled by configuring system property: -Djbpm.enable.multi.con=true
