Summary

Entity State functionality for the webui.

• A button which indicates the current state of an entity
• A popover which shows information about the state let users start transitions

Focus

• Displaying the entity state is handled in entity.xsl
• The functionality (i.e. starting transitions) is handled in ext_entity_state.js
• Note: the module patches the edit_mode by overriding the edit_mode.form_to_xml function. The patch uses a proxy pattern, where the old implementation is called internally, thus not interfering with other patches or changes in the original.

Test Environment

1. Shoot up empty linkahead with the f-fsm branches for server, pylib and webui. Set server property EXT_ENTITY_STATE=ENABLED.
2. Run misc/entity_state_test_data.py all against the linkahead instance.
3. Go to the webui and play around with the state model
