Decision with the <<SingleRule>> stereotype. The decision must have two outgoing flows. The default output of the decision is defined by setting the "false" value in the condition alias of the flow outgoing from the decision. The rule expression cannot be defined in the BPM except when a business process is generated from a BPEL process; in this case the BPEL expression is reported in the condition expression of the decision. |
