Jaroslav Pullmann commented on SCXML-106:
-----------------------------------------
Rahul,
does the XPath EL in current state allow for accessing the event payload ?
None of "_event.", "_event/" or "_eventdata/" combinations worked.
Thank you
Jaro
> Support for XPath as further EL
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: SCXML-106
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-106
> Project: Commons SCXML
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Jaroslav Pullmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Adding support for XPath (2.0?) as further expression language was already
> suggested earlier [1].
> Not aware, whether there is any ongoing development I'd ask for this
> important enhancement.
> Use cases:
> - access to a wide range of built-in functions (count, matches)
> - navigation with predicates involving string value tests:
> Since XPathes are passed as arguments to the Data function
> and JEXL does not provide for escaping quotes (see [2])
> there is currently no way to express pathes like:
>
> <assign location="Data(mydata,'list/it...@id=\'foo\']')" expr...
> Top-level XPath expressions would enable such (more natural) navigation:
> <assign location="/da...@id='mydata']/list/it...@id='foo']" expr...
