public interface Action
extends ExecutableNode

A representation of the model object 'Action'.

An Action is the fundamental unit of executable functionality. The execution of an Action represents some transformation or processing in the modeled system. Actions provide the ExecutableNodes within Activities and may also be used within Interactions.

The following features are supported:

• Local Postcondition
• Output
• Local Precondition
• Input
• Context
• Locally Reentrant
• action Input Pin Of From Action
• action Execution Specification Of Action
• interaction Of Action

See Also:

UMLPackage.getAction()

Method Detail

getOutput

java.util.List<OutputPin> getOutput()

Returns the value of the 'Output' reference list. The list contents are of type OutputPin. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'action Of Output'. The ordered set of OutputPins representing outputs from the Action.

Returns:

the value of the 'Output' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getAction_Output(), OutputPin.get_actionOfOutput()

get_interactionOfAction

@CheckForNull
Interaction get_interactionOfAction()

Returns the value of the 'interaction Of Action' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Action'.

If the meaning of the 'interaction Of Action' container reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'interaction Of Action' container reference.

See Also:

set_interactionOfAction(Interaction), UMLPackage.getAction__interactionOfAction(), Interaction.getAction()

set_interactionOfAction

void set_interactionOfAction(@CheckForNull
                             Interaction value)

Sets the value of the 'interaction Of Action' container reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'interaction Of Action' container reference.

See Also:

get_interactionOfAction()

get_actionExecutionSpecificationOfAction

java.util.Collection<ActionExecutionSpecification> get_actionExecutionSpecificationOfAction()

Returns the value of the 'action Execution Specification Of Action' reference list. The list contents are of type ActionExecutionSpecification. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Action'.

If the meaning of the 'action Execution Specification Of Action' reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'action Execution Specification Of Action' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getAction__actionExecutionSpecificationOfAction(), ActionExecutionSpecification.getAction()

getInput

java.util.List<InputPin> getInput()

Returns the value of the 'Input' reference list. The list contents are of type InputPin. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'action Of Input'. The ordered set of InputPins representing the inputs to the Action.

Returns:

the value of the 'Input' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getAction_Input(), InputPin.get_actionOfInput()

getContext

@CheckForNull
Classifier getContext()

Returns the value of the 'Context' reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'action Of Context'. The context Classifier of the Behavior that contains this Action, or the Behavior itself if it has no context.

Returns:

the value of the 'Context' reference.

See Also:

If false, the Action cannot begin a new execution until any previous execution has completed.

Returns:

the value of the 'Locally Reentrant' attribute.

See Also:

setLocallyReentrant(boolean), UMLPackage.getAction_LocallyReentrant()
