Class MethodTransition

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Transition

    public class MethodTransition
    extends AbstractTransition
    Transition which invokes a Method. The Method will only be invoked if its argument types actually matches a subset of the Event's argument types. The argument types are matched in order so you must make sure the order of the method's arguments corresponds to the order of the event's arguments.

    If the first method argument type matches Event the current Event will be bound to that argument. In the same manner the second argument (or first if the method isn't interested in the current Event) can have the StateContext type and will in that case be bound to the current StateContext.

    Normally you wouldn't create instances of this class directly but rather use the Transition annotation to define the methods which should be used as transitions in your state machine and then let StateMachineFactory create a StateMachine for you.
