BPMN Implementation: None

This is a Process Developer extension activity. When you save the process, a message appears informing you that the process contains an activity that is not in the BPEL specification.

You can use the continue activity inside a while, repeat until, or

forEach

container. The continue activity causes its immediately enclosed looping activity to stop the execution of the current iteration and move on to the next iteration. In the case of a while, the while's condition expression is evaluated to see if another iteration is possible. In the case of a serial

forEach

, the next iteration in the sequence executes or the loop completes if the current iteration is the final one. In the case of a parallel

forEach

, the continue only affects its enclosed iteration, allowing any parallel iterations to complete normally.

The continue activity allows the root scope of a

forEach

to complete normally so that it is compensatable. Early termination through a continue activity is not considered a faulting state, and therefore does not prevent compensation.

To add a continue activity:

You must use the BPEL-Centric palette to use the continue activity.

On the Process Editor canvas, select a while, repeat until, or

forEach

container.

From the Event
palette, drag a continue activity to it.

The following illustration shows an example.
