public abstract class AbstractTransition
extends Object
implements Transition

Constructor Detail

AbstractTransition

public AbstractTransition(Object eventId)

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

Parameters:

eventId - the Event id.

AbstractTransition

public AbstractTransition(Object eventId,
                          State nextState)

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.

AbstractTransition

public AbstractTransition(State nextState)

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

Parameters:

nextState - the next State.

AbstractTransition

public AbstractTransition()

Creates a new instance with a reflexive State as next state and for the wild card Event id.

Method Detail

getNextState

public State getNextState()

Specified by:

getNextState in interface Transition

Returns:

the State which the StateMachine should move to if this Transition is taken and Transition.execute(Event) returns true. null if this Transition is a loopback Transition.

execute

public boolean execute(Event event)

Executes this Transition. It is the responsibility of this Transition to determine whether it actually applies for the specified Event. If this Transition doesn't apply nothing should be executed and false must be returned. The method will accept any Event if it is registered with the wild card event ID ('*'), and the event ID it is declared for (ie, the event ID that has been passed as a parameter to this transition constructor.)

Specified by:

execute in interface Transition

Parameters:

event - the current Event.

Returns:

true if the Transition was executed, false otherwise.

doExecute

protected abstract boolean doExecute(Event event)

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

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 Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
