Method Detail

getAction

IAction getAction()

Get the rule action. Never returns null. The action is either a ICompoundAction or a IConditionalAction - see the grammar for more details.

Returns:

the action

hasContext

boolean hasContext()

Indicate whether this action rule has a context, or only uses actions that do not require a context.

This will be true for most rules. For some, for example those that only use "create" or "select", a context is unnecessary and this will return false.

Calling ISingleContextDeclaration.getContext() on such a rule will return a reserved model object with no attriutes.

Returns:

true if there is a context else false
