[jira] Resolved: (SCXML-27) Improve possibility to extending (subclassing) the default semantics

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-27?page=all ]

Rahul Akolkar resolved SCXML-27.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Its probably the natural place to put the compiled pattern, but subclassing the Transition class probably requires changes in other places (we generally do not recommend subclassing anything in the model package, since it can have collateral in the digester, semantics etc.)

Might be best to maintain an independent cache here.

> I've extended the default SCXML semantics (subclassed SCXMLSemanticsImpl) with a more flexible event matching method. However, this required copying a lot of code from SCXMLSemanticsImpl, just to replace the event matching method. The problem was that the eventMatch method takes String and Set arguments, with no way to get at the Transition who's event is to be tested. I copied the relevant code and replaced eventMatch(String,Set) with eventMatch(Transition,Set), to make it more flexible. I ask that this change is made to SCXMLSemanticsImpl, to better support overriding.
> The flexibility I've added is to use regular expressions for matching, and since this happens often, I wanted to cache the compiled pattern. The natural place to do this is the Transition, so I subclassed the Transition class, included a field for holding the compiled pattern and made sure to use this subclass whenever a regexp was needed. Then in the modified eventMatch code, I check whether the Transition is of this subclass and used the cache to improve performance.
