Problem

Outputset inside Catch Event.

BPMN Specification Reference

BPMN 2.0.2 page 224 (PDF page 254)

"When a catch Event is activated, Data Outputs of the event are filled with the element that triggered the Event. Then all DataOutputAssociations of the Event are executed. There are no OutputSets defined for Events."

Correlated Problem

Symmetrically, this issue affect also the endEvent. https://github.com/bpmn-miwg/bpmn-miwg-test-suite/blob/19995f37bb5e190e5f4c5dd73796707950660037/Reference/A.1.2.bpmn#L114-L116

[Edited: removed the proposal due to inconsistencies in the specification]

SimonRinguette commented 10 years ago

There still seems to be a contradiction in the specification. The phrase there are no OutputSets defined for Events is directly that you quoted is in contradiction with the meta model definition of the CatchEvent class.

Table 10.82 defines that CatchEvent has [0..1] outputSet. The XSD schema of the tCatchEvent type also has: 

<xsd:element ref="outputSet" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

We either need to favor the text or the meta model definition here but certainly we need to propose a correction for the contradiction
