[SCXML] Transition wildcard supported?

[Jon Brule <tr...@gmail.com>]

I was trying a event transition using a wildcard (<transition
event="*" cond=".." target="state"/>) within the JEXL standalone tool,
but the wildcard did not appear to match any event. Instead, the tool
only responded when I entered the event "*".

Is the event transition wildcard supported within Commons SCXML?

Correct, that is the implemented behavior, and was mostly based on the
(limited) description available in the July 05 WD.

As you mention above, a TriggerEvent with name * matches all
transition events (event attribute on transition element). The latest
WD also mentions that a event attribute value of * on a transition
element should match all triggers. So, seems we'll need to support the
latter as well. Can you please open a JIRA issue [1] so we don't
forget about this? Thanks!
