Class Split

  org.obe.util.AbstractBean
      org.obe.xpdl.model.transition.Split

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextChild, java.io.Serializable

public final class Split

extends AbstractBean

A split represents a location in a workflow process where execution can split or change paths based on the outcome of a condition. Two types of splits are supported: AND and XOR. AND splits result in multiple threads executing at the same time. XOR splits result in a continuation of the current thread, albeit on one of several possible paths. Non-exclusive splits are also possible by using an AND split in conjuction with conditions.

Split

public Split()

Construct a new Split.

Method Detail

getType

public SplitType getType()

Gets the split type.

Returns:

The split type

setType

public void setType(SplitType type)

Sets the split type.

Parameters:

type - The split type

add

public void add(java.lang.String transitionReference)
         throws java.beans.PropertyVetoException

Throws:

java.beans.PropertyVetoException

remove

public void remove(java.lang.String transitionReference)
