[jira] Commented: (SCXML-90) event attribute of is not evaluated

["Ingmar Kliche (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-90?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12649709#action_12649709 ] 

Ingmar Kliche commented on SCXML-90:
------------------------------------

I checked out the fix and run the test cases and it worked for me.

The only question I have: You check whether "event" evaluates to an empty "eventValue":

            if (SCXMLHelper.isStringEmpty(eventValue)
                    && appLog.isWarnEnabled()) {
                appLog.warn("<send>: event expression \"" + event
                    + "\" evaluated to null or empty String");

to log a warning message in this case. Because of a logging a "warning", this case seems to be close to an error (at least when reading the log). But there are certainly valid usecases where the eventname is meaningless, e.g. an HTTP request:

<send target="URL" targettype="basichttp" namelist="some params"/>

In this case the implementation would log a warning. Should an empty eventname be a "info" or "debug" message instead? But this is just a minor comment.

Thanks!
