public class ThrowException
extends Sink

An actor that throws an IllegalActionException when it receives a true token on any input channel. The message reported in the exception is given by the message parameter. By default, inputs are read and checked in the fire() method, but if throwInPostfire is set to true, then they will be checked in postfire() only.

Field Detail

message

public StringAttribute message

The message reported in the exception, which is a string that defaults to "Model triggered an exception".

throwInPostfire

public Parameter throwInPostfire

True to throw the model error in the postfire method. False to throw in fire. This is a boolean that defaults to false.

Constructor Detail

ThrowException

public ThrowException(CompositeEntity container,
                      java.lang.String name)
               throws IllegalActionException,
                      NameDuplicationException

Construct an actor in the specified container with the specified name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor within the container.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an actor already in the container.

Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Read one token from each input channel that has a token, and if any token is true, invoke the model error handler.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by the parent class.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

Read one token from each input channel that has a token, and if any token is true, throw an exception.

Specified by:

postfire in interface Executable

Overrides:

postfire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Returns:

Whatever the base class returns (probably true).

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If FIXME
