-------------------------------
Summary: Support <invoke> with inline (<content> body) SCXML
statemachine definition
Key: SCXML-264
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-264
Project: Commons SCXML
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Ate Douma
Assignee: Ate Douma
Fix For: 2.0
The SCXML [Invoke|https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/REC-scxml-20150901/#invoke] allows
specifying the target process (another SCXML statemachine) to be defined
'inline' through a child <content> element.
The <content> element itself can either use a src expression (to load the SCXML
from data) or inline body.
To support this feature the Invoker, which currently only loads another SCXML
statemachine from an external resource (remote url or file path) also need to
be able to parse a statemachine definition directly inline.
Because the SCXMLReader currently cannot parse XML directly, the embedded
statemachine definition (XML fragment) first will be transformed back into a
string, so the Invoker can use the SCXMLReader to parse a new SCXML instance.
Embedded SCXML with the <invoke> is a common and most convenient usage, and
implementing this feature will fix 24 more SCXML IRP tests!
