8.4 The API in the Watch example
The Watch Example tutorial includes details on how to run the
Watch models with a visual debugger, which uses the API to provide a trace or
simulation of the running application. Here are some extra details of where the
API calls are in the Watch example code, given according to the class and method
where they are defined.
There are three main places related to initializing the
API for the Watch:
| 1) | Master
init: initializes the variable holding a port on the MetaEditAPI SOAP
service |
| 2) | AbstractWatchApplication
constructor: makes an MEOop for this
graph |
| 3) | AbstractWatchApplication
addStateOop: makes an MEOop for this state
object |
There are also three places related to
making the API call for animation:
| 1) | AbstractWatchApplication
handleEvent: handles the event of moving to a new state, calls
animate |
| 2) | AbstractWatchApplication
animate: calls Master animate with the graph and state
MEOop |
| 3) | Master
animate: calls port.animate (defined in classes generated from
WSDL) |
