Using the BPEL Designer and Service Engine

Using the Empty Element

The Empty element has no operation associated with it. It is usually used as a placeholder within a process, to catch and suppress faults, or to help synchronize actions within a flow activity that are executed concurrently.

The Empty element can be used when someone else will be implementing a business process, or when the activities within a flow activity need to be synchronized.

Usage

Drag the Empty element from the Palette to the diagram.
