Rahul,

Thanks for the quick answer. I tried to wrap the expression as shown below:

    <onentry>
      <assign location="${Data(userprof,'UserProfile/UserID')}" expr="N"/>
    </onentry>

But I got the following error messages:
2006-07-01 21:02:44,625 [main] WARN  org.apache.commons.scxml.Builtin
- Data(): No nodes matching the XPath expression "UserProfile/UserID",
returning null
2006-07-01 21:02:44,625 [main] ERROR scxml.app.log  - <assign>:
location does not point to a <data> node


The datamodel I am trying to access is as follows:
  <datamodel>
    <data name="userprof">
      <UserProfile>
        <UserID/>
        <Person>
          <FirstName/>
          <MiddleName/>
          <LastName/>
        </Person>
      </UserProfile>
    </data>
  </datamodel>

Is there a problem with the <UserID/> tag being an empty tag? Is there
a problem with my accessing the datamodel from within an <onentry/>
tag?

Thoughts?
