Field Detail

actorName

public StringParameter actorName

Name of the actor to get the causality interface of. If this is the empty string (the default), then the container is used.

dependents

public TypedIOPort dependents

Output port on which to put the description of the dependent ports.

equivalences

public TypedIOPort equivalences

Output port on which to put the description of the equivalence classes.

Constructor Detail

GetCausalityInterface

public GetCausalityInterface(CompositeEntity container,
                             java.lang.String name)
                      throws IllegalActionException,
                             NameDuplicationException

Construct an actor with the given container and name. The output and trigger ports are also constructed.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Read the causality interface from the container and produce a description of it as an output.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class Source

Throws:

IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class.
