Ate Douma commented on SCXML-234:
---------------------------------
I was aware this test fails on Java 8.
However right now SCXML (javascript support) is still assuming Java 6 (or 7)
only, and thereby implemented assuming the outdated/limited Mozilla Rhino
Javascript engine.
As result, the current javascript support and implementation is quite
incomplete, broken even, and non-compliant compared to the Jexl and Groovy
scripting support.
I actually we better switch to Java 8 as minimum and completely remove/replace
the current implementation and re-implement based on the new and much better
Java 8 nashorn Javascript engine instead.
I don't have the cycles to work on this right now, but I think this is the only
path forward.
Fixing or trying to workaround the incompatibilities and limitations of the
Java 6 Javascript engine is a dead-end.
