public class InterfaceAutomatonTransition
extends Transition

A Transition for Interface Automaton. In the Interface Automata paper written by Luca de Alfaro and Henzinger, transitions are called actions. However, the name action conflicts with the Action class in this package, so this class uses the name transition. There are three types of transitions: input, output, and internal. Each transition has a label. The labels for input, output, and internal transitions end with "?", "!", and ";", respectively. The type of transition is determined by the ending character of the label this way. Each input transition corresponds to an input port of the InterfaceAutomaton that contains it, and its label, excluding the ending "?", must be the same as the input port name; Similarly, each output transition corresponds to an output port, and its label, excluding the ending "!", must be the same as the output port name; Each internal transitions corresponds to a parameter of the InterfaceAutomaton that contains it, and its label, excluding the ending ";", must be the same as the parameter name.

The guard of each transition is set automatically. Users should not set the guard. For an input transition, the guard is set to <inputPort> _isPresent, where <inputPort> is the port corresponding to this transition; For output and internal transitions, the guard is set to true. Each of the output and internal transitions contain an Action. The expression of the Action is also set automatically. For output transition, the action is set to <outputPort>=true, where <outputPort> is the output port corresponding to this transition; for internal transition, the action is set to <parameter>=true, where <parameter> is the parameter corresponding to this transition.

Constructor Detail

InterfaceAutomatonTransition

public InterfaceAutomatonTransition(InterfaceAutomaton container,
                                    java.lang.String name)
                             throws IllegalActionException,
                                    NameDuplicationException

Construct a transition with the specified container and name. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. This transition will use the workspace of the container for synchronization and version counts. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string.

Parameters:

container - An interface automaton.

name - The name of this transition.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the container is incompatible with this transition.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with any relation already in the container.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

React to a change in an attribute. If the changed attribute is label, use the ending character of the label to determine the transition type, and set the guard and output action of this transition. For internal transition, also create the parameter corresponding to the transition. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class Transition

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by the superclass attributeChanged() method, or the changed attribute is label and it does not ends with "?" or "!" or ";".

getLabel

public java.lang.String getLabel()

Return the label of this transition. If the label has not been set, return an empty string.

Overrides:

getLabel in class Transition

Returns:

The label of this transition.

getType

public int getType()

Return the transition type. The transition type is one of _INPUT_TRANSITION, _OUTPUT_TRANSITION, or _INTERNAL_TRANSITION.

Returns:

the transition type.

setContainer

public void setContainer(CompositeEntity container)
                  throws IllegalActionException,
                         NameDuplicationException

Override the base class to ensure that the proposed container is an instance of InterfaceAutomaton or null. If it is, call the base class setContainer() method. A null argument will remove this transition from its container.

Overrides:

setContainer in class Transition

Parameters:

container - The proposed container.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If setting the container would result in a recursive containment structure, or if this transition and container are not in the same workspace, or if the argument is not an InterfaceAutomaton or null.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an relation with the name of this transition.

See Also:

ComponentRelation.getContainer()

setTriggerExpression

public void setTriggerExpression(java.lang.String expression)

Throw an exception. Trigger expression is not used in InterfaceAutomaton, so this method should not be called in this class.

Parameters:

expression - The trigger expression.

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - Always thrown.
