Method Detail

findBySource

IterableListModel<E> findBySource(Identifiable aSourceEndpoint)

Finds the transitions that originate from the given source endpoint

Parameters:

aSourceEndpoint - The ObjectID the returned transitions originate from.

Returns:

List model containing the Transitions originating from the given source transition endpoint.

findBySourceAndEvent

IterableListModel<E> findBySourceAndEvent(Identifiable aSourceEndpoint,
                                          javax.xml.namespace.QName aSourceEvent)

Finds the transitions that originate from the given source endpoint and that are triggered via the given source event.

Parameters:

aSourceEndpoint - The ObjectID the returned transitions originate from.

aSourceEvent - the QName of the source event that triggers this transition.

Returns:

List model containing the Transitions originating from the given source transition endpoint that are triggered by the given source event.

findStartTransitionsByEntryPointAndSourceEvent

IterableListModel<E> findStartTransitionsByEntryPointAndSourceEvent(Identifiable entryPoint,
                                                                    javax.xml.namespace.QName sourceEvent)

Finds start transitions that are the best match for the given source event, no matter what kind of source transition endpoint is specified.

Parameters:

entryPoint - Source transition endpoint to be looked for, or null if all start transitions should be checked.

sourceEvent - The QName of the source event that triggers this transition.

Returns:

IterableListModel containing the Start-Transitions originating from any source transition endpoint that are triggered by the given source event.

findStartTransitionsBySourceAndEvent

IterableListModel<E> findStartTransitionsBySourceAndEvent(Identifiable aSourceEndpoint,
                                                          javax.xml.namespace.QName aSourceEvent)

Finds start transitions that are the best match for given source endpoint and event.

This might return a transition for the source endpoint ANY, but only if no transition is found that is a exact match.

Parameters:

aSourceEndpoint - The ObjectID of the source transition endpoint of the transition to search for.

aSourceEvent - The QName of the source event that triggers this transition.

Returns:

List model containing the Start-Transitions originating from the given source transition endpoint that are triggered by the given source event.

findByTarget

IterableListModel<E> findByTarget(Identifiable aTargetEndpoint)

Find the transitions targeting the given target endpoint.

Parameters:

aTargetEndpoint - The ObjectID the returned transitions to target.

Returns:

List model containing the Transitions targeting the given target transition endpoint.

findByTargetAndEvent

IterableListModel<E> findByTargetAndEvent(Identifiable aTargetEndpoint,
                                          javax.xml.namespace.QName aTargetEvent)

Find the transitions targeting the given target endpoint with the given target event.

Parameters:

aTargetEndpoint - The ObjectID the returned transitions to target.

aTargetEvent - The QName of the target event triggered by this transition.

Returns:

List model containing the Transitions targeting the given target transition endpoint that do trigger the given target event.
