<assign> does not support non-XML datamodels
--------------------------------------------
Key: SCXML-94
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-94
Project: Commons SCXML
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Ingmar Kliche
The current impl of <assign> still supports "name" and "location" attributes,
which is not in line with the SCXML WD. SCXML only defines the "location"
attribute.
The impl of <assign> uses the evalLocation() function of the evaluator to
determine the location and evalLocation() has to return a Node. But this does
not work for non-XML datamodels.
Non-XML datamodels worked using the "name" atribute (which used the set()
function of the context). But the "name" attribute is no longer standardized.
Thus <assign> only has the "location" attribute and it needs to support XML
and non-XML data models.
The question is, whether <assign> should manipulate the DOM tree or whether it
is the responsibility of the context to manipulate the data.
