Workflow: ezcWorkflowNodeConditionalBranch

[ Tutorial ] [ Class tree ] [ Element index ] [ ChangeLog ] [ Credits ]

Class: ezcWorkflowNodeConditionalBranch

Abstract base class for nodes that conditionally branch multiple threads of execution. [source]
Most implementations only need to set the conditions for proper functioning.

Descendents

Child Class Description
ezcWorkflowNodeMultiChoice This node implements the Multi-Choice workflow pattern.
ezcWorkflowNodeExclusiveChoice This node implements the Exclusive Choice workflow pattern.

Inherited Constants

From ezcWorkflowNode:
ezcWorkflowNode::WAITING_FOR_ACTIVATION    The node is waiting to be activated.
ezcWorkflowNode::WAITING_FOR_EXECUTION    The node is activated and waiting to be executed.

Member Variables

protected array( $configuration = array()
Holds the conditions of the out nodes.
protected integer $maxActivatedConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The maximum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node may activate. Set to false to disable this constraint.
protected integer $maxConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The maximum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node may have. Set to false to disable this constraint.
protected integer $minActivatedConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The minimum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node has to activate. Set to false to disable this constraint.
protected integer $minConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The minimum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node has to have. Set to false to disable this constraint.
