    All Known Implementing Classes:
    ActivityImpl

    public interface PvmActivity
    extends PvmScope
    Defines an activity insisde a process. Note that the term "activity" is meant to be understood in a broader sense than in BPMN: everything inside a process which can have incoming or outgoing sequence flows (transitions) are activities. Examples: events, tasks, gateways, subprocesses ...

    • Method Detail

      • getActivityBehavior

        ActivityBehavior getActivityBehavior()
        The inner behavior of an activity. The inner behavior is the logic which is executed after the start listeners have been executed. In case the activity is scope, a new execution will be created
        Returns:
        the inner behavior of the activity
      • getActivityStartBehavior

        ActivityStartBehavior getActivityStartBehavior()
        The start behavior of an activity. The start behavior is executed before the start listeners of the activity are executed.
        Returns:
        the start behavior of an activity.
      • findOutgoingTransition

        PvmTransition findOutgoingTransition​(java.lang.String transitionId)
        Finds and returns an outgoing sequence flow (transition) by it's id.
        Parameters:
        transitionId - the id of the transition to find
        Returns:
        the transition or null in case it cannot be found
      • getOutgoingTransitions

        java.util.List<PvmTransition> getOutgoingTransitions()
        Returns:
        the list of outgoing sequence flows (transitions)
      • getIncomingTransitions

        java.util.List<PvmTransition> getIncomingTransitions()
        Returns:
        the list of incoming sequence flows (transitions)
      • isAsyncBefore

        boolean isAsyncBefore()
        Indicates whether the activity is executed asynchronously. This can be done after the activity start behavior and before the start listeners are invoked.
        Returns:
        true if the activity is executed asynchronously.
      • isAsyncAfter

        boolean isAsyncAfter()
        Indicates whether execution after this execution should continue asynchronously. This can be done after the end listeners are invoked.
        Returns:
        true if execution after this activity continues asynchronously.
