My SCXML is crashing when I try to run it and my debugging efforts have gone for naught. The observable behaviour is as follows -- from the state stationary, the state machine checks the guard on a transitions several times, and then stops functioning. The cond is a method call using JEXL that returns a boolean (I've tested this and found that the method does return on a call leading to the crash, so the problem is not here).
If the move transition is followed, then on eventual return to the stationary state, the state machine will become unresponsive after a few checks of the guard. With a listener I've determined that there is no state change, so if the machine is running, the cond should be evaluated. My hunch is that the state machine is silently failing -- how can i determine if this is the case? Are there any obvious mistakes that I'm making in my SCXML file?
