BPMN21 — Significant typo in BPMN 2.0 v1.0 formal/2011-01-03

  • Key: BPMN21-334
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17548
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jon M. Siegel)
  • Summary:

    In the definitions of interrupting and non-interrupting events, on the page numbered 280 (which is sequential page 310 of the pdf), under the heading

    Interrupting Event Handlers (Error, Escalation, Message, Signal, Timer, Conditional, Multiple, and Parallel Multiple)

    the first sentence reads, correctly –

    Interrupting Event Handlers are those that have the cancelActivity attribute is set to true.

    In the next section, under the heading

    Non-interrupting Event Handlers (Escalation, Message, Signal, Timer, Conditional, Multiple, and Parallel Multiple)

    the first sentence reads, incorrectly –

    Interrupting Event Handlers are those that have the cancelActivity attribute is set to false.

    Clearly the authors meant to start this sentence with

    Non-interrupting Event Handlers are ...

    but forgot to edit in the "Non" after the copy'n'paste. Right?
