Constructor Detail

ThreadContext

public ThreadContext(jadex.bpmn.model.MBpmnModel model)

Create a new top-level thread context.

Parameters:

model - The process model element.

ThreadContext

public ThreadContext(jadex.bpmn.model.MSubProcess model,
             ProcessThread initiator)

Create a new sub-level thread context. Should not be invoked from the outside

Parameters:

model - The sub process model element.

initiator - The initiating thread.

Method Detail

getModelElement

public jadex.bpmn.model.MIdElement getModelElement()

Get the model element.

Returns:

The process or sub process element.

getParent

public ThreadContext getParent()

Get the parent context.

Returns:

The parent context, if any.

getInitiator

public ProcessThread getInitiator()

Get the initiating thread.

Returns:

The initiator, if any.

addThread

public void addThread(ProcessThread thread)

Add a thread to this context.

Parameters:

thread - The thread to be added.

addExternalThread

public void addExternalThread(ProcessThread thread)

Add an external thread to this context.

Parameters:

thread - The thread to be added.

removeThread

public void removeThread(ProcessThread thread)

Remove a thread from this context.

Parameters:

thread - The thread to be removed.

getThreads

public Set<ProcessThread> getThreads()

Get all threads of this context.

Returns:

All threads of this context, but not from sub context.

getAllThreads

public Set getAllThreads()

Get all threads of the context and all subcontexts.

addSubcontext

public void addSubcontext(ThreadContext context)

Add a sub context.

Parameters:

context - The sub context to be added.

removeSubcontext

public void removeSubcontext(ThreadContext context)

Remove a sub context but keep the corresponding thread. E.g. when a sub process terminates, the sub context is removed and the initiating thread continues in the outer context.

Parameters:

context - The sub context to be removed.

getSubcontext

public ThreadContext getSubcontext(ProcessThread thread)

Get the subcontext of a thread.

Parameters:

thread - The thread which owns the subcontext.

Returns:

The subcontext (if any).

isFinished

public boolean isFinished(String pool,
                 String lane)

The context is finished, when there are no (more) threads to execute.

Parameters:

pool - The pool to be executed or null for any.

lane - The lane to be executed or null for any. Nested lanes may be addressed by dot-notation, e.g. 'OuterLane.InnerLane'.

Returns:

True, when the process instance is finished with regards to the specified pool/lane. When both pool and lane are null, true is returned only when all pools/lanes are finished.

getExecutableThread

public ProcessThread getExecutableThread(String pool,
                                String lane)

Get an executable thread in the context or its sub contexts.

Parameters:

pool - The pool to be executed or null for any.

lane - The lane to be executed or null for any. Nested lanes may be addressed by dot-notation, e.g. 'OuterLane.InnerLane'.

Returns:

An executable thread (if any).

toString

public String toString()

Get the string representation.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

The string representation.
