Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 288 - Clarification of DPE and Sequence

The <invoke> is executed. There is no DPE as there is no link from <empty>
to <invoke>. 11.6.5. shows a similar example. Which place in the spec
suggests that the <invoke> is not executed?

Kind Regards
DK

Issue - 288 - Clarification of DPE and Sequence

Status: received
Date added: 17 May 2006
Date submitted: 17 May 2006
Submitter: Danny van der Rijn
Description: If an activity in a sequence is skipped due to a
joinCondition, does the next activity get executed?

Consider the following:

<sequence suppressJoinFailure="yes">

    <empty>
       <targets>
          <joinCondition>false</joinCondition>
          <target ... />
       </targets>
    </empty>

    <invoke .../>
<sequence>

The <empty> activity will never be run. Will the invoke activity get
skipped as well?

I don't think so, but the spec could be interpreted either way.
