Subject: Re: [scxml] How to update the datamodel from inside a state's

 In the listener:

public void onEntry(TransitionTarget state) {
 ....
           // call method named as the state thru reflection
           invokeState(state.getId(), state.getDatamodel()

}

stateP(Datamodel model){

//  some new value for "data1" is generated, so update it on the datamodel
String newData1Value = "15";
boolean found = false;
   List<Data> dataList =  datamodel.getData();
   for(Data d : dataList){
      if(d.getId().equals("data1"){
         d.setExpr(newData1Value);
         found = true;
      }
   }
   if(!found){
      Data d= new Data();
      d.setId("data1");
      d.setExpr("15");
      model.addData(d);
   }
}
