public class TransformationRule
extends MultiCompositeActor
implements GTCompositeActor, ValueListener

A transformation rule that contains a pattern and a replacement. It has two purposes. As an abstraction of a transformation rule, it groups the pattern and the replacement and relate objects between them (with PatternObjectAttribute associated to objects in the replacement). As an actor, it has a port that accepts model tokens containing models to be transformed, and it produces transformed models in new model tokens to another port.

Constructor Detail

TransformationRule

public TransformationRule(CompositeEntity container,
                          java.lang.String name)
                   throws IllegalActionException,
                          NameDuplicationException

Construct a transformation rule with a name and a container. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the container is incompatible with this actor.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an actor already in the container.

TransformationRule

public TransformationRule(Workspace workspace)
                   throws IllegalActionException,
                          NameDuplicationException

Construct a transformation rule in the specified workspace with no container and an empty string as a name. You can then change the name with setName(). If the workspace argument is null, then use the default workspace.

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace that will list the actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the name has a period in it, or the director is not compatible with the specified container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already contains an entity with the specified name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

React to a change in the mode parameter or the repeatUntilFixpoint parameter, and update the appearance of this actor.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class TypedCompositeActor

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the change is not acceptable to this container (not thrown in this base class).

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the object into the current workspace by calling the clone() method that takes a Workspace argument. This method read-synchronizes on the workspace.

Overrides:

clone in class NamedObj

Returns:

A new NamedObj.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If any of the attributes cannot be cloned.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Fire this actor. Depending on the transformation mode, the action performed on the input and output is different.

• If the mode is match only, then the actor has only an input port to receive input models and an output port to send out success flags in Booleans. When fired, a model token is read from the input port. Pattern matching is performed on it with a working copy of the encapsulated transformation rule. A true or false token is produced to the output port depending on the result of the pattern matching.
• If the mode is one if replace first, replace last, replace any and replace all, the actor has one more output port to send out the transformed models in model tokens. The transformation action is performed according to the transformation modes specified in TransformationMode.Mode.
• If the mode is full control, then the actor has a total of 6 ports. A modelInput port receives input models. A modelOutput port sends out result models. A matchInput port receives matches to be used for the transformation. A matchOutput port to produce matches. A trigger port to trigger pattern matching. A remaining port to output integer numbers representing the numbers of remaining matches. In each firing, if the modelInput port has a token present, the token is read and pattern matching is performed on the contained model. All the matches are collected in a list. It matchInput port has a token present, the match is read from that port and is used to transform the model, with the output being sent to the modelOutput port. If the trigger port has a token present, the token is consumed and the next match in the collected list is sent to the matchOutput port. Finally, in all cases, the number of remaining matches in the list is sent to the remaining port.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class CompositeActor

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If error occurs in reading the input, in sending the output, or in the transformation.

getPattern

public Pattern getPattern()

Get the pattern of this transformation rule.

Returns:

The pattern.

getReplacement

public Replacement getReplacement()

Get the replacement of this transformation rule.

Returns:

The replacement.

                throws IllegalActionException

Initialize this actor.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class CompositeActor

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws it.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

If a trigger has been received in fire and the next match has been produced to the matchOutput port, remove the first match in the list.

The result from postfire of the superclass.
