Class BindAction

java.lang.Object
  org.jactr.core.production.action.DefaultAction
      org.jactr.core.production.action.BindAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAction

public class BindAction
extends DefaultAction

BindAction is used merely for the assignment of variables that are not explicitly imbedded in any other action. The constructor accepts a variableName (?=variableName?) and any value that will be bound to. When the bind action is bound, the variable binding will be added to the Map making it accessible for subsequent Actions to utilize.

Method Detail

bind

public IAction bind(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> variableBindings)

Description copied from interface: IAction

Bind is called during the creation of an instantiation of a produciton. By the time this gets called, we know that all the conditions are matched and all the variables have been assigned. This method merely creates a copy of this action and applies those bindings. the IAction returned by this method will be the actual one that is fired. Normally, an action should not change the contents of variableBindings

Returns:

getVariableName

public java.lang.String getVariableName()

Gets the variableName attribute of the BindAction object

Returns:

The variableName value

setVariableName

public void setVariableName(java.lang.String name)

Sets the variableName attribute of the BindAction object

Parameters:

name - The new variableName value

getObject

public java.lang.Object getObject()

Gets the object attribute of the BindAction object

Returns:

The object value

setObject

public void setObject(java.lang.Object ob)

Sets the object attribute of the BindAction object

Parameters:

ob - The new object value

fire

public double fire(IInstantiation instantiation,
                   double firingTime)

Parameters:

instantiation - Description of the Parameter

firingTime - when this production was fired

Returns:
