Method Detail

bind

public IAction bind(VariableBindings variableBindings)
             throws CannotInstantiateException

Description copied from interface: IAction

Bind is called during the creation of an instantiation of a produciton. By the time this gets called, we know that all the conditions are matched and all the variables have been assigned. This method merely creates a copy of this action and applies those bindings. the IAction returned by this method will be the actual one that is fired. Normally, an action should not change the contents of variableBindings

Specified by:

bind in interface IAction

Returns:

Throws:

CannotInstantiateException

IAction.bind(VariableBindings)

dispose

public void dispose()

Description copied from interface: IAction

Dispose is called to explicitly release resources when we are done with the IAction. Why not rely upon the finalization mechanism and garbage collection? Many of the classes contain circular linkages: parent to child and child to parent. Since the garbage collection contract is not standardized, circular links might prevent objects from being collected. This method should never be called by the programmer. It is called by the containing IProduction, which in turn has its dispose method called by the IModel. You should only call IModel.dispose() when you are done with the model.

dispose in interface IAction

fire

public double fire(IInstantiation instantiation,
                   double firingTime)

wait until the goal buffer isn't empty
