Inclusive gateway doesn't support converging direction

[francesco.pietrobelli]

Hi,

I have a problem that look like a bug, but before to report the issue i want to know if any other have the same problem.

It seems that inclusive gateway element doesn't supports the "Converging" direction.

To reproduce the problem is sufficent to:

1- create a bpmn2 process with a inclusive gateway with gatewayDirection set to "Converging"

2- create a KnowledgeBuilder and add it

At this point the following Exception is thrown:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown gateway direction: Converging
    at org.jbpm.bpmn2.xml.InclusiveGatewayHandler.createNode(InclusiveGatewayHandler.java:34)
    at org.jbpm.bpmn2.xml.AbstractNodeHandler.start(AbstractNodeHandler.java:73)
    at org.drools.xml.ExtensibleXmlParser.startElement(ExtensibleXmlParser.java:382)
....

I also attach a simple bpmn2 process definition and the relative junit test case.

Cheers,

Francesco

I think it's not a bug, you can find this in org.jbpm.bpmn2.xml.InclusiveGatewayHandler:

protected Node createNode(Attributes attrs) {

    final String type = attrs.getValue("gatewayDirection");

    if ("Diverging".equals(type)) {

        Split split = new Split();

        split.setType(Split.TYPE_OR);

        String isDefault = attrs.getValue("default");

        split.setMetaData("Default", isDefault);

        return split;

    } else {

        throw new IllegalArgumentException(

     "Unknown gateway direction: " + type);

    }

}

That's to say, if the direction of inclusive gateway is not "Diverging", the exception will be thrown.

I am wondering whether they will support it in the future.
