|
| 26 | * <p>The Invoker interface is used to define the possible interactions |
|
| 27 | * between the parent state machine (executor) and the types of invocable |
|
| 28 | * activities.</p> |
|
| 29 | * |
|
| 30 | * <p>Invocable activities must first register an Invoker implementation class |
|
| 31 | * for the appropriate "targettype" (attribute of <invoke>) with the |
|
| 32 | * parent <code>SCXMLExecutor</code>.</p> |
|
| 33 | * |
|
| 34 | * <p>The communication link between the parent state machine executor and |
|
| 35 | * the invoked activity is a bi-directional events pipe.</p> |
|
| 36 | * |
|
| 37 | * <p>All events triggered on the parent state machine get forwarded to the |
|
| 38 | * invoked activity. The processing semantics for these events depend |
|
| 39 | * upon the "targettype", and thereby vary per concrete implementation of |
|
| 40 | * this interface.</p> |
|
| 41 | * |
|
| 42 | * <p>The invoked activity in turn must fire a special "done" event |
|
| 43 | * when it concludes. It may fire additional events before the "done" |
|
| 44 | * event. The semantics of any additional events depend upon the |
|
| 45 | * "targettype". The invoked activity must not fire any events after the |
|
| 46 | * "done" event. The name of the special "done" event must be |
|
| 47 | * the ID of the parent state wherein the corresponding <invoke> |
|
| 48 | * resides, with the String ".invoke.done" appended.</p> |
|
| 49 | * |
|
| 50 | * <p>The Invoker "lifecycle" is outlined below: |
|
| 51 | * <ol> |
|
| 52 | * <li>Instantiation via {@link Class#newInstance()} |
|
| 53 | * (Invoker implementation requires accessible constructor).</li> |
|
| 54 | * <li>Configuration (setters for parent state ID and |
|
| 55 | * {@link SCInstance}).</li> |
|
| 56 | * <li>Initiation of invoked activity via invoke() method, passing |
|
| 57 | * the source URI and the map of params.</li> |
|
| 58 | * <li>Zero or more bi-directional event triggering.</li> |
|
| 59 | * <li>Either completion or cancellation.</li> |
|
| 60 | * </ol> |
|
| 61 | * </p> |
