Commons SCXML Commons Documentation Team

The first Working Draft of State Chart XML (SCXML) was published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Voice Browser Working Group in July 2005. SCXML provides a generic state-machine based execution environment based on Harel State Tables. SCXML is a candidate for the control language within multiple markup languages coming out of the W3C (see Working Draft for details). Commons SCXML is an implementation aimed at creating and maintaining a Java SCXML engine capable of executing a state machine defined using a SCXML document, while abstracting out the environment interfaces.

The use cases for an SCXML engine are multiple and varied. Anything that can be represented as a UML state chart -- business process flows, view navigation bits, interaction or dialog management, and many more -- can leverage an SCXML engine library.

  • This code is in the commons sandbox
  • The code is unreleased
  • Methods and classes can and will appear and disappear without warning
  • If you like the code and want to push it towards a release, join the mailing list!

This is a sandbox component, headed for a (first) 1.0 release.

The commons mailing lists act as the main support forum. The user list is suitable for most library usage queries. The dev list is intended for the development discussion. Please remember that the lists are shared between all commons components, so prefix your email by [SCXML].

Issues may be reported via ASF Bugzilla. Please remember that Bugzilla is shared between all commons components, so prefix your issue by [SCXML].
