Ok thanks. That make sense. I was just checking in case of...
I start prototyping with scxml, so I might bother you again in the next couple days ;-) -Martin -----Original Message----- From: Rahul Akolkar [mailto:rahul.akol...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 3:41 PM To: Commons Users List Subject: Re: SCXML : can we use ${prop-name-attributes} within <scxml /> definition ?

One could imagine a number of technologies (generate a DTD or DOCTYPE with entities, straight text replacement etc.) that will allow setting up of such pre-processing, so in that sense it almost seems beyond the scope of the core library function. -Rahul > Thanks, > > Martin > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rahul Akolkar [mailto:rahul.akol...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 3:05 PM > To: Commons Users List > Subject: Re: SCXML : can we use ${prop-name-attributes} within <scxml /> > definition ? > > On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 8:37 AM, Renaud, Martin<martin.ren...@nuance.com> > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I would like to know if it's possible, using a built-in feature of >> apache commons scxml, to use property place holder in the xml file that >> defines the state machine ?
