ActionExpression

- com.ibm.commerce.foundation.server.command.bod.ActionExpression

```
public class ActionExpression
extends java.lang.Object
```
The action expression object represents the information that can be extracted from the ActionExpression elements of the Change, Process and Sync verbs. The ActionExpression indicates the action code of the action, an extended XPath notation to indicate the business object part of the action along with additional control parameters.

This object represents the conversion of the ActionExpression into the object the expression points to along with the action code and control parameters. This object is passed to the change, process and sync tasks to perform the appropriate business logic based on this action information.
