Interface FrontEndActionState

All Superinterfaces:

ActionStateFacade, ModelElementFacade, StateFacade, StateVertexFacade

All Known Subinterfaces:

FrontEndView

public interface FrontEndActionState
extends ActionStateFacade

A front end action state represents an operation on the server called by an action. Optionally an action state may defer operations to the controller.

Metafacade interface to be used by AndroMDA cartridges.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getActionMethodName() The method name representing this action state.
java.util.List	getContainerActions() The actions that pass through this action state.
java.util.List	getControllerCalls() All calls deferred to the controller by this action state.
java.util.List	getExceptions() All exceptions modelled on this action state.
FrontEndForward	getForward() The next transition, there can be only one transition going out of an action state, otherwise decision points should be used (triggers are not supported at the server-side).
boolean	isContainedInFrontEndUseCase() True if this element is contained in a FrontEndUseCase.
boolean	isFrontEndActionStateMetaType() Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).
boolean	isServerSide() Indicates whether or not this front end action state is server side.

Method Detail

isFrontEndActionStateMetaType

boolean isFrontEndActionStateMetaType()

Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).

Returns:

always true

getActionMethodName

java.lang.String getActionMethodName()

The method name representing this action state.

getContainerActions

java.util.List getContainerActions()

The actions that pass through this action state.

getControllerCalls

java.util.List getControllerCalls()

All calls deferred to the controller by this action state.

getExceptions

java.util.List getExceptions()

All exceptions modelled on this action state.

getForward

FrontEndForward getForward()

The next transition, there can be only one transition going out of an action state, otherwise decision points should be used (triggers are not supported at the server-side).

isContainedInFrontEndUseCase

boolean isContainedInFrontEndUseCase()

True if this element is contained in a FrontEndUseCase.

isServerSide

boolean isServerSide()

Indicates whether or not this front end action state is server side. Pages, for example, are also action states but they return control to the client.
