[SCXML] Internal transition not producing expected results

[Lee, Cheryl - ES/RDR -Gil]

I am having problems with an internal transition in a composite state.  The 
transitions "ONLINELOCAL", "ONLINEREMOTE", AND "OFFLINE" lead to the 
appropriate states within ControlIsEnabled however, the entry and exit actions 
of ControlIsEnabled are triggered.  This behavior is opposite of general state 
machine theory behavior.  Is my syntax wrong for an internal transition or is 
executing the entry/exit actions the intended behavior in apache commons scxml?


<state id="ControlEnabled">
          <onexit><my:SendMsg/></onexit>
          <initial id="ControlInitial">
            <transition target="ControlIsEnabled"/>
          </initial>
          <state id="ControlIsEnabled">
            <onentry><my:ControlInit/></onentry>
            <onexit><my:ControlExit/></onexit>
            <state id="OnlineRemote">
              <onentry><my:ChangeMode/></onentry>
              <transition event="" target="ControlDisabled"/>
              <transition event="CAR_LOCAL" target="CarLocalCtrl"/>
              <transition event="CAR_REMOTE" target="CarRemoteCtrl"/>
            </state>
            <state id="OnlineLocal">
              <onentry><my:ChangeMode/></onentry>
              <transition event="CAR_LOCAL" target="CarLocalCtrl"/>
              <transition event="CAR_REMOTE" target="CarRemoteCtrl"/>
            </state>
            <state id="Offline">
              <onentry><my:ChangeMode/></onentry>
              <transition event="CAR_LOCAL" target="CarLocalCtrl"/>
              <transition event="CAR_REMOTE" target="CarRemoteCtrl"/>
            </state>
            <initial id="ControlEnabledInitial">
              <transition target="OnlineLocal"/>
            </initial>
            <state id="CarLocalCtrl">
              <onentry><my:ChangeCarMode/></onentry>
            </state>
            <state id="CarRemoteCtrl">
              <onentry><my:ChangeCarMode/></onentry>
            </state>
            <transition event="ONLINEREMOTE" target="OnlineRemote"/>
            <transition event="OFFLINE" target="Offline"/>
            <transition event="ONLINELOCAL" target="OnlineLocal"/>
          </state>
          <transition event="CONTROLMODEACTIONSTATUSBUTTON" 
target="ControlDisabled"/>
          <transition event="EXITSTATUSONLYBUTTON" target="Status"/>
        </state>
