t_Type_Events_Event_Actions_Action

Action : Class or Aspect

Script items for Class and Aspect Events. e.g. Class.Event.Actions[]

Description

Actions are script items or Java methods executed in a particular order when a Class Event or Aspect Event is invoked. Events always have a single 'main' action. All other actions are executed relative to the main action (and each other). Actions can be overridden in subclasses. They may be conditionally executed.

To specify mutually exclusive actions within a group, use <group>:<action> as the action name.

Properties

Valid values based on“string”.
