[jboss-user] [jBPM] - Re: Parallel gateways really parallel?

As a result, the user usually doesn't even notice this. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/628401#628401] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
