-------------------------------------------

Hi Marek,

I found this in the WS-BPEL 2.0 spec:

The only way to instantiate a business process in WS-BPEL is to annotate a <receive> activity (or a <pick> activity) with the createInstance attribute set to "yes" (see section 11.5. Selective Event Processing – Pick for a variant). The default value of this attribute is "no".

The only way to correctly set the createInstance for the <pick> (or <receive>) is to have the editor to do a static analysis of the process flow, which could be pretty complex.

<invoke> is not a start activity so it would not have a createInstance attribute. Only <receive> and <pick> can create a new process instance.

> The editor leaves out the createInstance="yes|no" attribute for the pick activity. This attribute must be present, especially when pick is the first activity in the process.
