Rules
From Indus Communities
The Rules style of composition uses the $ operator representing the connector to implement the following compositions
- SourceName -> SinkName $ Rule (parameterList[opt])
- SourceName -> HandlerName $ Rule(parameterList[opt]) -> SinkName $ Rule(parameterList[opt])
- SourceName -> HandlerName $ Rule(parameterList[opt]) -> SinkName
- result = SourceName -> HandlerName $ Rule(parameterList[opt])
All combinations of components in the pipes and filter style can be qualified with a rule evaluation.
Component RuleTester {
Rule rule = boolean test( ); //will work
Rule rule = void test( ); //won't work - rule will always return boolean
Rule rule = int test(int num);
//won't work - rule will always return boolean
Rule rule = boolean test(int num); //will work
Rule rule = public boolean test(int num);
//won't work - no modifiers are allowed
Source src = int producer( );
Handler hnd = int processor(int number);
Sink snk = void pit(int finalnumber);
Event evt = boolean trigger( );
}
