Thanks Maciej, the intermediate throw event worked.   We are not currently 
using the web-based Designer for development but are using the old 
eclipse-based BPMN editor.   Please let me explain why.


We are programmers and we are trying to develop complex protocols.  We use 
eclipse for most of our develpment tasks and would like to use it for BPMN 
development for a number of reasons. 


* ability to debug processes and rules
* ability to unit test processes and rules
* have a common project structure and source repository for processes, rules, 
custom workitems, fact models, etc.
* have a highly efficient development environment with keyboard shortcuts, code 
completion, etc.  We'd really like the 'code, compile, debug' cycle for Drools 
to be as efficient as any other language.


Designer is evolving into a very nice tool and we hope our business users 
(clinicians in our case) will begin using it to model high level workflow.  We 
do use Designer and jBPMConsole to demo our work to end users and to let them 
review the logic.  I doubt we will ever use Guvnor as a repository as we 
already have an enterprise Knowledge Repository available to us.


We really want to use the new BPMN2 modeling elements and are anticipating a 
stable release of the eclipse-based BPMN2 editor.  It will be very important to 
us to be able to round-trip processes from eclipse to Guvnor so we can 
collaborate with our users.   We hope the jBPM Development Team recognizes the 
importance of this tool.  We hope that development of rules and processes in 
eclipse becomes as efficient as Java development.   We'd love to see rules and 
processes compile into intermediate binary files and packages in the default 
'target' folder to speed up development.  


I expect you might respond that we are welcome to participate in the 
development of these new features, but unfortunately our leadership does not 
currently support such a contribution to any significant level.  They do 
however support purchasing the RedHat BRMS product once these key features have 
been implemented. 


Thank you again for your response, and please let us know if we've misconstrued 
something.


Thanks,


Herm
