public class IfThenElse
extends Object
This is the "rules engine". It evaluates the sequence of conditions that is passed in, looks up the corresponding action in its rules table, and sends a message to that action to execute itself

Constructor Index

o IfThenElse(Vector, Rules)
The Vector of conditions represent a single specific sequence of conditions we are interested in evaluating and performing an action on The rules are a map that relates each sequence of Booleans to an action that should be fired.

Method Index

o evaluateConditions(Vector)
This method evaluates each Condition in the Vector argument and loads the resulting Booleans in a Vector that is ultimately returned.
o executeAction(Vector, Rules)
This method takes the Vector of results obtained from evaluateConditions(..) and wraps it in a BooleanTuple.

Constructors

o IfThenElse 
 public IfThenElse(Vector conditions,
                   Rules rules) throws DataNotFoundException, NestingTooDeepException, RuleNotFoundException
The Vector of conditions represent a single specific sequence of conditions we are interested in evaluating and performing an action on The rules are a map that relates each sequence of Booleans to an action that should be fired.

Methods

o evaluateConditions 
 public Vector evaluateConditions(Vector conditions) throws DataNotFoundException
This method evaluates each Condition in the Vector argument and loads the resulting Booleans in a Vector that is ultimately returned.

o executeAction 
 public void executeAction(Vector results,
                           Rules rules) throws NestingTooDeepException, RuleNotFoundException
This method takes the Vector of results obtained from evaluateConditions(..) and wraps it in a BooleanTuple. The BooleanTuple is looked up on the rules table to obtain the corresponding Action instance. This action instance is then requested to execute.
