Hi,

I'm making the final fixes to my scxml interpreter. to make it compliant
with the testcase suite. Currently there is only four testcases that fail
for xpath, 241, 244, 240 and 354. (240, and 354 uses the strange
data/data/data syntax)

241 uses $var1 in namelist and of invoke and tries to match to var1 in
invoked machine. So from your comments earlier I think that 241 and 244
shall fail for Xpath?

Thanks again for you great job, and your patient replies.

/Jon

HI,<br>
<br>
I saw that there previously has been some discussions about the namelist, a=
nd that at least in some parts my questions has been adressed. But I feel t=
hat this is quite complicated.<br>
<br>
In my understanding, namelist is a shorthand for param, but this name thing=
 makes it more complicated than param where name is set explicitly in code.=
<br>
<br>
<br>
Here are some examples I&#39;d like to get comments on:<br>
<br>
What would be the names in an Xpath scxml if the following location express=
ions was used in a namelist?<br>
<br>
$var1<br>
$var1/children<br>
$var1/children[last()]<br>
ancestor::$var1/children[last()]&quot;<br>
<br>
If the target of the invoke/send is an ecmascript scxml with the var1 as a =
top most id what would the result be?<br>
<br>
If it instead is a xpath scxml what would be the result?<br>
<br>
And in the opposite direction, what would the names of an ecmascript datamo=
del be for the following location expressions in namelist?<br>
var1<br>
var1.children<br>
var1.children.slice(-1)[0]<br>
(I don&#39;t know how to write something similar to ancestor)<br>
<br>
And what would happen if the target of the invoke/send is an ecmascript scx=
ml with the var1 as a top most id what would the result be?<br>
<br>
If it instead is a xpath scxml what would be the result?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
