Detailed Description

This class represents an interface for an Action.

An action is a piece of code executed by the State Machine interpreter. Since the execution is synchronous, it is blocking the interpretation of the SCXML document.

The implementation of the action can be added by sub-classing and implementing the execute() virtual method.

This class can also be used to implement a guard by sub-classing and implementing the evaluate() virtual method.

Actions can be executed when entering, exiting, or transitioning to a state.

Guards are evaluated before taking a transition.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Action()

scxml4cpp::Action::Action

(

const std::string &

id

)

Create a generic action object.

Parameters

id	Identifier of the action.

~Action()

scxml4cpp::Action::~Action ( )

virtual

Member Function Documentation

evaluate()

virtual bool scxml4cpp::Action::evaluate ( Context * c )

pure virtual

Evaluate a guard condition usually verified before taking a transition. The evaluation is blocking the State Machine interpreter and therefore should be short (ideally it should last 0 time).

Parameters

c	Context for the execution of the action.

Returns

true If the guard is satisfied, false otherwise.

Implemented in scxml4cpp::ActionTrace, rad::ActionCallback, MyAction, SignalAction, TestDummyAction, ReplyAction, ReplyAction, TimerAction, TrsHealthAction, MyAction, TestExecutableContentAction, TestExecutableContentAction2, TestExecutorAction, TestHelperAction, TestMergerAction, TestCondition, TestAction, TestCondition, TestAppendAction, TestDOMSCXMLReaderAction, TestReplaceAction, TestWarningsAction, and rad::GuardCallback.

execute()

virtual void scxml4cpp::Action::execute ( Context * c )

pure virtual

Execute the task associated to the action. The execution is blocking the State Machine interpreter and therefore should be short (ideally it should last 0 time).

Parameters

c	Context for the execution of the action.

Implemented in scxml4cpp::ActionTrace, rad::ActionCallback, MyAction, SignalAction, TestDummyAction, ReplyAction, ReplyAction, TimerAction, TrsHealthAction, MyAction, TestExecutableContentAction, TestExecutableContentAction2, TestExecutorAction, TestHelperAction, TestMergerAction, TestCondition, TestAction, TestCondition, TestAppendAction, TestDOMSCXMLReaderAction, TestReplaceAction, TestWarningsAction, and rad::GuardCallback.

getId()

std::string scxml4cpp::Action::getId

(

)

const

Returns

The action identifier.

getParam()

std::string scxml4cpp::Action::getParam

(

)

const

Returns

The action/guard parameters in string format.

setId()

void scxml4cpp::Action::setId

(

const std::string &

id

)

Set the action identifier.

Parameters

id	The action identifier.

setParam()

void scxml4cpp::Action::setParam

(

const std::string &

p

)

Set the action parameters.

Parameters

p	The action parameters in string format.
