Right, I don't think it is specified. > It seems to me that the most intuitive thing would be to bind > it to the executing statechart object, but I wanted to see if this was > actually stated somewhere in the SCXML specification. > <snap/> Or to the variable context / datamodel of the statechart. Thereby, if I have two <data> elements with ids "foo" and "bar", then the expression "this.foo" would return the value in the appropriate <data>. This would also prevent accidental overwriting and/or shadowing in the script. The script needn't have access to all other functions on the statechart object (easier to use incorrectly). -Rahul > Please let me know what you think about this.
