XML Syntax<transition event="" target=""/>
Description

Defines the transitions of a state. In Governance Registry 4.1.1 onwards, users are allowed to define the transitions (the name , by specifying the name of the lifecycle state and the target lifecycle state) , instead of using static transitions.

Previously, the configuration did not have a direct method of defining the transition event names or, most importantly, the target of the transition. There were only two transitions that were supported by default.

With the new, SCXML-based configuration model, any number of transitions from one state are supported. Also, this model has the capacity to define the target state of the transition and the name of the event as well.
