What Happens When You Create a Wait Activity

Exactly one of the expiration criteria must be specified, as shown in the following example for BPEL 2.0.

<wait <for>'duration-expr'</for> | <until>'duration-expr'</until>
    standard-elements
  </wait>

The following example shows the BPEL 1.1 syntax.

<wait (for="duration-expr" | until="deadline-expr") standard-attributes>
    standard-elements
  </wait>
