Hi,
According to the SCXML spec, the following was stated:
"The behavior of transitions with 'type' of "internal" is identical, except in
the case of a transition whose source state is a compound state and whose
target(s) is a descendant of the source. In such a case, an internal transition
will not exit and re-enter its source state, while an external one will, as
shown in the example below."
I am trying to do something similar like the following:
<state id="s1" initial="s11"> <onentry> <log expr="entering
S1"/> </onentry> <onexit> <log expr="'leaving s1'"/>
</onexit> <state id="s11"> <onentry> <log
expr="entering s11"/> </onentry> <onexit> <log
expr="'leaving s11'"/> </onexit> </state>
<state id="s12"> <onentry> <log expr="entering s12"/>
</onentry> <onexit> <log expr="'leaving s12'"/>
</onexit> </state> <transition event="e" target="s12"
type="internal"> <log expr="'executing transition'"/>
</transition>
</state>
Assuming I am in s11 when event e fired. But it always log "leaving s1" before
log "executing transition" which means going out of S1 even if the internal
type
was set. Am I missing something in the spec?
Also, I am not sure how can I search in the archive to see if this question has
been asked before. Can you let me know? Thanks!
Vance
