Review the sample application that comes with FSM Tool, for an example of how to define a service’s FSM specification (which creates JSLEE service components, by generating an SBB class and extending it to implement state-machine action Java logic).

The multifsmsbb service that comes with FSM Tool is a simple example of two FSMs hosted in a single SBB.
