http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38311 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-02-03 20:30 ------- Here's where I find the naming confusing. Imagine the documentation for this: "A state machine is modeled by an instance of SCXML which contains all the states and transitions that describe the structure and features of a state machine. When an application needs to execute such a state machine, it will need to provide a Registry. The Registry contains contexts, historical state, and listeners that are notified when certain events occur during the execution (or interpretation) of a state machine. This Registry also contains an object named NotificationRegistry which is a registry of the aforementioned listeners." So the thing I'm seeing is that the concept of the NotificationRegistry being a registry of listeners within a larger registry (which is more of an ExecutionEnvironment) seems confusing. It also stems from the fact that a "Registry" is usually an object than contains a collection of similar elements. So, a PersonRegistry contains people, a ListenerRegistry contains listeners, etc. Calling the execution environment a registry just strikes me as a misnomer because it holds a collection of different elements all important to execution. Anyway, I know I'm being a stickler for the details, but I think of language and terminology as something that needs to be addresses up front. I can understand that a larger "ExecutionContext" contains a number of objects necessary for execution including a sub-contexts that store information particular to each state. I feel less comfortable explaining that the "Registry" contains a series of objects necessary for execution including a NotificationRegistry and a series of a Content objects and histories. In addition, having a class named "Registry" and a class named "NotificationRegistry" implies an extension or implementation relationship. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
