Method Description
activateNode ( ezcWorkflowExecution $execution, ezcWorkflowNode $node ) Convenience method for activating an (outgoing) node.

Method Details

__construct() public method

The configuration is a structured (hash) array. Implementations must pass their complete configuration on to this object. We have chosen to use structured arrays for the configuration since it simplifies the process of creating new node types and storing workflows.
public __construct ( mixed $configuration = null )
$configuration mixed

__toString() public method

Returns a textual representation of this node.
public __toString ( ) : string
return string

accept() public method

Reimplementation of accept() calls accept on all out nodes.
public accept ( ezcWorkflowVisitor $visitor )
$visitor ezcWorkflowVisitor

activate() public method

$activatedFrom is the node that activated this node and $threadId is threadId of the thread the node should be activated in. This method is called by other nodes and/or the execution environment depending on the workflow.
public activate ( ezcWorkflowExecution $execution, ezcWorkflowNode $activatedFrom = null, integer $threadId )
$execution ezcWorkflowExecution
$activatedFrom ezcWorkflowNode
$threadId integer

activateNode() protected method

Convenience method for activating an (outgoing) node.
protected activateNode ( ezcWorkflowExecution $execution, ezcWorkflowNode $node )
$execution ezcWorkflowExecution
$node ezcWorkflowNode

addInNode() public method

Automatically adds $node to the workflow and adds this node as an out node of $node.
public addInNode ( ezcWorkflowNode $node ) : ezcWorkflowNode
$node ezcWorkflowNode The node that is to be added as incoming node.
return ezcWorkflowNode

addOutNode() public method

Automatically adds $node to the workflow and adds this node as an in node of $node.
public addOutNode ( ezcWorkflowNode $node ) : ezcWorkflowNode

configurationToXML() public method

Generate XML representation of this node's configuration.
public configurationToXML ( DOMElement $element )
$element DOMElement

execute() public method

Implementations of ezcWorkflowNode should reimplement this method. This method is called automatically by the workflow execution environment and should not be called directly. The default implementation resets the activation state of the node.
public execute ( ezcWorkflowExecution $execution ) : boolean
