BPMN comments
With BPMN it is permissible to use events, gateways, and processes as points where multiple paths can converge and combine into a single path. There is no use for these converging points in BPEL.
For converging points that are processes, events, or gateways that are of the following stereotypes
"complex"
"event based"
"OR"
"XOR"
Then these converging points have no mapping to BPEL and there importance only lies within identifying the end of a flow path.
