There is some documentation of this page (towards the bottom): http://commons.apache.org/scxml/guide/datamodel.html Source is here, for example (trunk version): http://commons.apache.org/scxml/xref/org/apache/commons/scxml/Builtin.html > 2) there is no "name" attribute on <data> in current working draft, but > Data() depends on it: > > > a) <data ID="foo"><foo>bar</foo></data> > b) <data name="foo"><foo>bar</foo></data> > > the action <log expr="Data(foo,'node()')"/> > > - throws an error for a: Data(): Cannot evaluate an XPath expression in > the absence of a context Node > - returns "bar" for b) > > Will the Data() implementation be adapted to the spec ? > <snap/> In this case, it happens to be the other way around :-) The casing of the ID attribute (all uppercase) in the draft was unfortunate, and this has been discussed (and in all likelihood will change to lowercase in the next draft). So, please use lowercase i.e. <data id="foo"><foo>bar</foo></data> > 3) How to address nodes in a specific namespace via Data() ? > > <data name="foo"><f:foo xmlns:f="fooNS"><baz>bar</baz></f:foo></data> > <!-- how to address f:foo ? --> > <log expr="Data(foo,'foo')"/> > <snip/> I'm running out of time for email, so let me point to a fairly comprehensive test case SCXML document that demonstrates use of namespace prefixes in XPath expressions (the bottom line is prefixes in an expression are resolved based on the enclosing namespace declarations at the location where the expression occurs in the document -- and so these prefixes may be different from the prefixes specified in the <data>). Here is the test document (long URL, may get fragmented): http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/scxml/trunk/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/scxml/env/jexl/datamodel-03.xml Please feel free to bring up anything that isn't clear after going through that test document. > 4) assign supports static source-URLs via @src.

This will cover usecases as illustrated by your example above. Please open an enhancement request in JIRA [1] so we remember this, thanks. -Rahul [1] http://commons.apache.org/scxml/issue-tracking.html > Many thanks ! > Jaro > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
