EvaluableAction

public class StaticMethodAction

extends MessageAction

An evaluable action which sends a static message to a class.

A number of static create factory methods are provided to make it easy to construct the common flavors of static method actions. The creation services provide the notational simplicity of one-line expressions in initialization logic for common cases.

Method Detail

create

public static StaticMethodAction create(java.lang.Class aClass,
                                        java.lang.String selector)

Create an action which will send the no-argument message selector to aClass when it is evaluated.

create

public static StaticMethodAction create(java.lang.Class aClass,
                                        java.lang.String selector,
                                        java.lang.Class[] parmTypes)

Create an action which will send the message selector with the argument type signature specified by the parmTypes argument types list to aClass when it is evaluated.

The client must provide the argument values when the action is evaluated.

create

public static StaticMethodAction create(java.lang.Class aClass,
                                        java.lang.String selector,
