Hi,
I am not an SCXML master, but as far as I understand the context and the
evaluators are attached to the engine.
The context is in charge of keeping the data model from the SCXML
executor. And the evaluator can have different forms depending on the
expressions you are willing to evaluate in your SCXML xml file.
So, your ????? part, should listen to the protocol and fire events to
the SCXML engine. And also the other way round, listen to the engine and
fire events through the protocol. I can't see the problem on that as you
can create the engine with for example a JexlContext and a JexlEvaluator
and and run your state machine, isn't it?
In order to start your engine, I recommend you to take a look to the
AbstractStateMachine code as a complete example on it.
On the other hand, I consider very interesting that you use a graphical
editor to edit your scxml, I think there is not anything like that in
the web, isn't?
Cheers
Jorge

Hello again.
Doesn´t anybody have a solution to my problem?
I don´t know if maybe theres something I need to clarify.
The engine sends "messages" that are java objects that I in the (?????) part
translates to somethin on the form that the ApacheEngine wants.
What I don´t understand is what I should do with the "context" and
"evauator" in my model, can I work around it somehow?
best regards

Hello
I have just begun using the Apache SCXML and I have encountered a problem.
This is what already is:
I have an editor for HMI. You build the interfaces using modules and then
connects to actions and events in a databas and this is then run by another
engine that sends events/actions (for some strange reasond they are named
the "wrong" way in this program, i didn´t build it so...) to a CD player or
whatever through a protocol via an interface.
My job:
is to build a simulator for the "cd-player" part. The" tricky" is that it
should be generic, so that the client can build whatever kind of machine he
or she wants to.
I have created a graphical interface with GMF in eclipse where you can
build statemachines with the help of "modules" representing states,
transitions etc. This generates a XML representation of the statemachine
once it´s finished and then that is translated into SCXML. So far so good.
so what we have here now is HMIeditor <-> DB <-> Engine <-> protocol <->
(??????) <-> Apache engine<->SCXML<->XML <-> my editor for statecharts.
All the functions (actions, events etc.) of the "cd-player" is described in
a XML file wich both the HMI editor and my editor uses so I can put them on
any form I want to and I have knowledge in what the HMIeditorengine "does"
to the data.
This is what I think is the problem (above shown as (??????)):
Between the apache engine and the protocol ther should be an interface
(duh). My interface there should start up both engines and then (i think)
listen to two buffers (i´m thinking two threads), my interface takes care of
the translation from the protocol data look to the ApacheEngines data look.
I just don´t undstand now how I should start up the Apache engine. I don't
understand what i need the context and evaluator and so on for, the things
that the apache engine recieves should be on the form it wants?
Or have I just misunderstood?
I hope someone understands something of what my problem is.
best regards
