If you mean finding available event names/patterns (see 3.12.1 in
https://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/#events) for a transition, there seems to
be no convenient method unless you implement a utility method by
yourself based on SCXMLSemanticsImpl.
But, basically the specification is more complex than your simple use
case. I guess that's why there has been no convenient utility yet.

Error reporting is a bit different from your use case, in my view.
I'm not really sure that SCXMLExecutor should report an error at the
moment when it cannot find any transition associated. I couldn't find
anything clear about that in the specification. If you find something,
please let us know. ;-)

commons-scxml has org.apache.commons.scxml2.ErrorReporter interface
which can be set through
org.apache.commons.scxml2.SCXMLExecutor.setErrorReporter(ErrorReporter).
Again, I'm not really sure it has to report an error when not finding
a transition to proceed on an event. It doesn't sound like an error to
me, but maybe a warning in that case.
What do others think?
