Data (including POJOs) can be passed into an executor either via an
external event's payload or via procedural injection to the executor's
root context.
So, as an example of the latter, the following will create a variable
"player" in the executor's root context and bind the POJO to it:
Player p = ... // POJO from game client
getEngine().getRootContext().set("player", p);
Subsequently, the variable "player" may be used in expressions in the
state machine.
In the above state machine, the variable "inputPlayer" doesn't seem to
be accessed anywhere, so unless the player information is needed for
the state machine logic, it can perhaps stay out of the state
machine's root context altogether (given the pattern of use you
mention below).

If you wanted to map states to activities that way. There are a few
patterns that are commonly used, see:
