Method Details
- execute
  
  public void execute() throws State_exception
  
  This method is called during a run-to-completion cycle and executes the action instance by reflection; Actions may be re-executed.
  This method is called automatically, and more precisely, at an appropriate moment with respect to the functioning of a state machine. All kinds of probable exceptions including Java Error instances and runtime exceptions are caught by this method. The computed result is assigned to the _result variable and is made readable through the AbstractAction.verbose() method.
  
  Specified by:
  
  execute in class AbstractAction
  
  Throws:
  
  State_exception - An encapsulation of any Java problem that results from executing the action
- wait_for_completion
  
  protected void wait_for_completion() throws State_exception
  
  This method allows the possibility of waiting for actions to complete. Since UML actions are recognized as instantaneous, this method is left empty.
  
  Specified by:
  
  wait_for_completion in class AbstractAction
  
  Throws:
  
  State_exception
