public class State
extends NameBase

Base class for all states in a StateEngine. This must be used as the base class for all states in transitions added to a StateEngine.

Nested Class Summary

static class

State.Kind Kind of state.

State(Set<State> states, String name)

State(Set<State> states, String name, State.Kind kind)

State(String name)

State(String name, State.Kind kind)

Method Summary

Action	getDefaultAction() Get the default transition action that is used if the default next state is used.
State	getDefaultNextState() Return the default next state for this state.
Map<Input,Set<Transition>>	getInputMap()
State.Kind	getKind() Return the Kind of this state.
void	postAction(FSM fsm) Method that defines action that occurs whenever this state is exited, that is, when the state is changed from this state to a new state.
FSM	preAction(FSM fsm) Method that defines action that occurs whenever this state is entered from a different state.
State	returnAction(FSM fsm, FSM nestedFSM) If this state has Kind REFERENCE, and its preAction pushes a nested FSM onto the stack, the returnAction method is called after the nested FSM reaches a final state.

Method Detail

getKind

public State.Kind getKind()

Return the Kind of this state.

preAction

public FSM preAction(FSM fsm)

Method that defines action that occurs whenever this state is entered from a different state. preAction is not called on a self-transition. If preAction returns a non-null result, the result becomes the current FSM.

Any exceptions except ThreadDeath thrown by this method are ignored. This method can be overridden in a state implementation if needed.

returnAction

public State returnAction(FSM fsm,
                          FSM nestedFSM)

If this state has Kind REFERENCE, and its preAction pushes a nested FSM onto the stack, the returnAction method is called after the nested FSM reaches a final state. The nested FSM is passed into nestedFSM, and fsm is the new top of stack, which is the FSM that was active when the preAction was called. The result is the new state that will be assumed after this REFERENCE's state postAction method is called.

If the returnAction method sets the state to a new state, the postAction method is called as usuTransition.

Any exceptions except ThreadDeath thrown by this method are ignored. This method can be overridden in a state implementation if needed.

postAction

public void postAction(FSM fsm)

Method that defines action that occurs whenever this state is exited, that is, when the state is changed from this state to a new state.

Any exceptions except ThreadDeath thrown by this method are ignored. This method can be overridden in a state implementation if needed.

getDefaultNextState

public State getDefaultNextState()

Return the default next state for this state. This is the next state if the input is not found in the action map.

getDefaultAction

public Action getDefaultAction()

Get the default transition action that is used if the default next state is used.

getInputMap

public Map<Input,Set<Transition>> getInputMap()
