Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Get the action's name.

Specified by:

getName in class AbstractAction

getMethodClass

public java.lang.Class getMethodClass()

Gets the Class containing the method to reflect.

Returns:

class contianing method

getMethodName

public java.lang.String getMethodName()

Gets the name of the method this action should reflect on a given Row.

Returns:

name of method to reflect on Row.

getParameterTypes

public java.lang.Class[] getParameterTypes()

Returns:

parameter types.

handleAction

public final java.lang.Object handleAction(java.lang.Object o,
                                           ExecutingContext ec)
                                    throws CMException

Refects this action's method on the given object. If the method to be used for reflection requires parameters, then handleAction(Object, Object[]) should be used.

Specified by:

handleAction in class AbstractAction

Parameters:

o - Object to perform the action on

Throws:

CMException

handleAction

public java.lang.Object handleAction(java.lang.Object o,
                                     java.lang.Object[] args,

setParameterTypes

public void setParameterTypes(java.lang.Class[] parameterTypes)

Sets the parameter types the method this action should use when reflecting on a given Row.

Parameters:

parameterTypes - array of classes for method.
