Hi,
Not to mention that some custom actions could have to be evaluated before
knowing which transition will apply.
It might mean that some side effects could come into scene, and if they do the
"introspection mode" cannot be used.
Thanks,
-Nestor

Please prefix the email subject with [SCXML], since this mailing list
is shared across all Commons components. I've added the prefix here.

While the idea is interesting, we do not have such an "introspection mode".
It wouldn't take too much effort to implement it, but:
a) Would probably increase the code smell factor a tad (if in
introspection mode, then follow transition else just report back etc.)
b) Would require some API additions that might warrant a major release.
If you don't mind sharing in this public forum, why do you need such
introspection? The SCXML specification doesn't talk about this.
Understanding that interaction pattern may or may not help better
answer the question, we will have to see :-)
