[SCXML] Problem with setting values in Context using 2.0-SNAPSHOT (works with 0.9)

[Diptendu Dutta]

I have the following code that is working in 0.9 but failing in 2.0-SNAPSHOT
.

SCXMLExecutor engine;
Context rootContext;
Evaluator evaluator;

.....
rootContext = evaluator.newContext(null);
engine.setRootContext(rootContext);
engine.go();

rootContext.set("intent", "StartBot");
engine.triggerEvent("run", TriggerEvent.SIGNAL_EVENT);


----------------------
    <scxml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/scxml";
              version="1.0"
              datamodel="jexl"
              initial="Start">

        <datamodel>
                <data id="intent" expr="&quot;hello&quot;" />
         ....
        </datamodel>

     <state id="Start">
      <transition event="run" cond="intent eq &quot;startBot&quot;"
target="StartBot" />
      <transition event="run" target="Default" />
    </state>

     <state id="Default">
      <onentry>
       <log expr="intent" />
       <assign location="response" expr="&quot;Sorry I do not
understand!&quot;" />
      </onentry>
      <transition target="Start" />
     </state>

     <state id="StartBot">
            .....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The StartBot state is not entered, rather the Default state is entered and
the value
of the "intent" datamodel item is printed as 'hello' rather than 'StartBot'
as expected

INFO: transition (event = run, cond = null, from = /Start, to = /Default)
INFO: null: hello

This same code is working with version 0.9.

Do I have to do things differently with 2.0-SNAPHOT for it to work?
