public interface StateVertexFacade
extends ModelElementFacade

A representation of the model object 'Vertex'. An abstraction of a node in a state machine graph. In general, it can be the source or destination of any number of transitions. Metafacade interface to be used by AndroMDA cartridges.

Method Detail

isStateVertexFacadeMetaType

boolean isStateVertexFacadeMetaType()

Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).

Returns:

boolean always true

getContainer

StateFacade getContainer()

Models a situation during which some (usually implicit) invariant condition holds. The states of protocol state machines are exposed to the users of their context classifiers. A protocol state represents an exposed stable situation of its context classifier: when an instance of the classifier is not processing any operation, users of this instance can always know its state configuration.

Returns:

StateFacade

getIncomings

Collection<TransitionFacade> getIncomings()

A directed relationship between a source vertex and a target vertex. It may be part of a compound transition, which takes the state machine from one state configuration to another, representing the complete response of the state machine to an occurrence of an event of a particular type.

Returns:

Collection

getOutgoings

Collection<TransitionFacade> getOutgoings()

A directed relationship between a source vertex and a target vertex. It may be part of a compound transition, which takes the state machine from one state configuration to another, representing the complete response of the state machine to an occurrence of an event of a particular type.

Returns:

Collection

getPartition

PartitionFacade getPartition()

The partition (if any) to which this vertex belongs.

Returns:

PartitionFacade

getStateMachine

StateMachineFacade getStateMachine()

State machines can be used to express the behavior of part of a system. Behavior is modeled as a traversal of a graph of state nodes interconnected by one or more joined transition arcs that are triggered by the dispatching of series of (event) occurrences. During this traversal, the state machine executes a series of activities associated with various elements of the state machine.

Returns:

StateMachineFacade
