Class MethodTransition

org.apache.mina.statemachine.transition.MethodTransition

All Implemented Interfaces:

Transition

public class MethodTransition
extends AbstractTransition

Transition which invokes a Method. The Method will only be invoked if its argument types actually matches a subset of the Event's argument types. The argument types are matched in order so you must make sure the order of the method's arguments corresponds to the order of the event's arguments.

If the first method argument type matches Event the current Event will be bound to that argument. In the same manner the second argument (or first if the method isn't interested in the current Event) can have the StateContext type and will in that case be bound to the current StateContext.

Normally you wouldn't create instances of this class directly but rather use the Transition annotation to define the methods which should be used as transitions in your state machine and then let StateMachineFactory create a StateMachine for you.

Constructor Detail

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        State nextState,
                        Method method,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance with the specified State as next state and for the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

nextState - the next State.

method - the target method.

target - the target object.

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        Method method,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance which will loopback to the same State for the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

method - the target method.

target - the target object.

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        State nextState,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance with the specified State as next state and for the specified Event id. The target Method will be the method in the specified target object with the same name as the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

nextState - the next State.

target - the target object.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if no method could be found with a name equal to the Event id.

AmbiguousMethodException - if more than one method was found with a name equal to the Event id.

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance which will loopback to the same State for the specified Event id. The target Method will be the method in the specified target object with the same name as the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

target - the target object.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if no method could be found with a name equal to the Event id.

AmbiguousMethodException - if more than one method was found with a name equal to the Event id.

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        String methodName,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance which will loopback to the same State for the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

methodName - the name of the target Method.

target - the target object.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if the method could not be found.

AmbiguousMethodException - if there are more than one method with the specified name.

MethodTransition

public MethodTransition(Object eventId,
                        State nextState,
                        String methodName,
                        Object target)

Creates a new instance with the specified State as next state and for the specified Event id.

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

nextState - the next State.

methodName - the name of the target Method.

target - the target object.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if the method could not be found.

AmbiguousMethodException - if there are more than one method with the specified name.

Method Detail

getMethod

public Method getMethod()

Returns the target Method.

Returns:

the method.

getTarget

public Object getTarget()

Returns the target object.

Returns:

the target object.

doExecute

public boolean doExecute(Event event)

Description copied from class: AbstractTransition

Executes this Transition. This method doesn't have to check if the Event's id matches because AbstractTransition.execute(Event) has already made sure that that is the case.

Specified by:

doExecute in class AbstractTransition

Parameters:

event - the current Event.

Returns:

true if the Transition has been executed successfully and the StateMachine should move to the next State. false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractTransition

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractTransition

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractTransition
