Interface Activity

All Superinterfaces:

OWBNamedObject, ProcessActivityParameterOwner

All Known Subinterfaces:

SubProcess

public interface Activity

extends ProcessActivityParameterOwner

A Activity is the interface that defines the unit of execution within a give process. The user can create a process activity to define atomic operations that he wants so that they can later be chained together using transitions to define dependency information.

Field Summary

static int	TRANSITION_INCOMING Constant used to specify Incoming Transition of Activity.
static int	TRANSITION_OUTGOING Constant used to specify outgoing Transition of Activity.

Method Summary

OWBNamedObject	getBoundObject() Retrieve the OWBNamedObject that this activity refers to.
Transition[]	getConnectedTransitions(int inoutComing) Gets the type of Activity of a ProcessFlow.
ProcessFlow	getProcessFlow() Returns the owning processflow object which the current Activity belongs to.
int	getType() Gets the type of Activity of a ProcessFlow.
