Interface CallBehaviorAction

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

public interface CallBehaviorAction
extends CallAction

A representation of the model object 'Call Behavior Action'. A call behavior action is a call action that invokes a behavior directly rather than invoking a behavioral feature that, in turn, results in the invocation of that behavior. The argument values of the action are available to the execution of the invoked behavior. For synchronous calls the execution of the call behavior action waits until the execution of the invoked behavior completes and a result is returned on its output pin. The action completes immediately without a result, if the call is asynchronous. In particular, the invoked behavior may be an activity.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getBehavior

public Behavior getBehavior()
Returns the value of the 'Behavior' reference. The invoked behavior. It must be capable of accepting and returning control.

Returns:
the value of the 'Behavior' reference.

CallBehaviorAction.setBehavior(Behavior), UMLPackage.getCallBehaviorAction_Behavior()

setBehavior

public void setBehavior(Behavior value)
Sets the value of the 'Behavior' reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Behavior' reference.
See Also:
CallBehaviorAction.getBehavior()

validateArgumentPinEqualParameter

public boolean validateArgumentPinEqualParameter(DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                                 Map context)
The number of argument pins and the number of parameters of the behavior of type in and in-out must be equal. true


validateResultPinEqualParameter

public boolean validateResultPinEqualParameter(DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                               Map context)
The number of result pins and the number of parameters of the behavior of type return, out, and in-out must be equal. true
