The engine must report error/warning when invalid events are triggered
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SCXML-22
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-22
Project: Commons SCXML
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.5
Environment: Win XP Professional, jdk 1.4.02
Reporter: Raj Rao
The semantics must report an error/warning/notification when an invalid event
is triggered, instead of silently discarding it. An invalid event is one that
is not specified for the current state.
Here's an excerpt of a converstaion, where the suggested workaround was not
applicable. This requirement is crucial for me.

No, because the semantics treat it as simply an inconsequential
trigger (causing no change to the state machine), rather than an
error.
One of the ways you could track this is to register a SCXMLListener on
the executor and track onTransition() callbacks (if you get none, the
trigger is "invalid" -- per your definition above).
