Interface SendSignalAction

All Superinterfaces:
Action, ActivityNode, Element, EModelElement, EObject, ExecutableNode, InvocationAction, NamedElement, Notifier, RedefinableElement, TemplateableElement

public interface SendSignalAction
extends InvocationAction

A representation of the model object 'Send Signal Action'. SendSignalAction 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 SendObjectAction.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getTarget

public InputPin getTarget()
Returns the value of the 'Target' containment reference.

If the meaning of the 'Target' containment reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

The target object to which the signal is sent.

Returns:
the value of the 'Target' containment reference.
See Also:
setTarget(InputPin), UML2Package.getSendSignalAction_Target()

setTarget

public 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

public InputPin createTarget(EClass eClass)
Creates a InputPin and sets the 'Target' containment reference.

Parameters:
eClass - The Ecore class of the InputPin to create.
Returns:
The new InputPin.
See Also:
getTarget()

getSignal

public Signal getSignal()
Returns the value of the 'Signal' reference.

If the meaning of the 'Signal' reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

The type of signal transmitted to the target object.

Returns:
the value of the 'Signal' reference.
See Also:
setSignal(Signal), UML2Package.getSendSignalAction_Signal()

setSignal

public void setSignal(Signal value)
Sets the value of the 'Signal' reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Signal' reference.
See Also:
getSignal()

getInputs

public EList getInputs()

Specified by:
getInputs in interface InvocationAction
