Interface SendSignalAction

All Superinterfaces:

public interface SendSignalAction
extends InvocationAction

A representation of the model object 'Send Signal Action'. A send signal action is an action that creates a signal instance from its inputs, and transmits it to the target object, where it may cause the firing of a state machine transition or the execution of an activity. The argument values are available to the execution of associated behaviors. The requestor continues execution immediately. Any reply message is ignored and is not transmitted to the requestor. If the input is already a signal instance, use a send object action.

The following features are supported:

• Target
• Signal

Method Detail

getTarget

InputPin getTarget()

Returns the value of the 'Target' containment reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Input'

The target object to which the signal is sent.

Returns:

the value of the 'Target' containment reference.

See Also:

setTarget(InputPin), UMLPackage.getSendSignalAction_Target()

setTarget

void setTarget(InputPin value)

Sets the value of the 'Target' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Target' containment reference.

See Also:

getTarget()

createTarget

InputPin createTarget(java.lang.String name,
                      Type type,
                      org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Creates a new InputPin, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and sets the 'Target' containment reference.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' for the new InputPin, or null.

type - The 'Type' for the new InputPin, or null.

eClass - The Ecore class of the InputPin to create.

Returns:

The new InputPin.

See Also:
