All Implemented Interfaces:

public final class Primitive
extends ForwardMessage

A Primitive is not a message in the strict sense, it is an action that happens inside a method. Graphically, it is represented in a fashion similar to a message, but without the arrow.

Constructor Summary

Primitive(Lifeline caller, Diagram diagram, MessageData data)
Creates a Primitive object.

Method Summary

Answer	getAnswerMessage() Obviously, there is no answer to a primitive action, so this method always returns null.
boolean	isSynchronizing()
boolean	isVoid()
void	updateView() Creates some space on the diagram, so that the message arrow and its label can be drawn, then draws them and creates some more space.

Constructor Detail

Primitive

public Primitive(Lifeline caller,
                 Diagram diagram,
                 MessageData data)

Creates a Primitive object.

Parameters:

caller - the lifeline where the method of which the Primitive is a part of is executed

diagram - the diagram

data - encapsulates the description of the primitive action

Method Detail

updateView

public void updateView()

Description copied from class: Message

Creates some space on the diagram, so that the message arrow and its label can be drawn, then draws them and creates some more space. Changes the state of the diagram so that the effects of the message are reflected. When creating space, the lifelines that do not participate in the message must be drawn according to their current state (via Message.extendLifelines(int).

Overrides:

updateView in class ForwardMessage

getAnswerMessage

public final Answer getAnswerMessage()

Obviously, there is no answer to a primitive action, so this method always returns null.

Overrides:

getAnswerMessage in class ForwardMessage

Returns:

null

isVoid

public final boolean isVoid()

isSynchronizing

public final boolean isSynchronizing()
