I want to send a message to an enterprise object which after a delay then sends a message to another statemachine to change its state. Note the simple delay will eventually be replaced by a process model using more enterprise objects. I am just trying to figure out how this communication works. When an entity comes out of the Enterprise object I can send a message to the Statemachine. I connected a port to the last Enterprise object and set Out-Message-type to Entity. When I initialized the associated Active object I used out.map(PandemicStage); I do not get any compiler errors here but I have not tried it at run time. I can not get a compilable version for sending from the Statemachine to the Enterprise object. What do I send? Is there a command to create a entity in the transition. The documentation says to make a custom entity and put its constructor in the newEntity field of the object. There is no newEntity field in a transition. Maybe I send a normal "string" message to a port and do something special in the port. Again I do not see a newEntity field in the port. Do I need a custom Entity? I am not sending any special data yet. What port initialization code is appropriate? How do I adddress the port? Any insight into how this works would be appreciated. Thanks
