public interface ExecutionObject

extends WfExecutionObject

Interface ExecutionObject extends the OMG execution object with additional methods that allow the type-safe state class to be used to query and set state. The OMG API provides string based methods only to enable vendors to define additional sub-states. The type-safe equivalent is to define new subclasses of the state classes.

Method Detail

typedState

public WfExecutionObject.State typedState()
                                   throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Type-safe equivalent to WfExecutionObject.state().

Returns:

the state.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a system-level error occurs.

changeState

public void changeState(WfExecutionObject.State newState)
                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                        InvalidStateException,
                        TransitionNotAllowedException

Type-safe equivalent to WfExecutionObject.changeState().

Parameters:

newState - state to change to.

Throws:

InvalidStateException - if newState is an invalid state for the execution object.

TransitionNotAllowedException - if the transition from the current state to newState is not allowed.

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a system-level error occurs.

debugEnabled

public boolean debugEnabled()
                     throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Checks if the execution object is in debugging mode.

Returns:

true if the execution object is in debugging mode

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a system-level error occurs
