public abstract class Action

extends ModelElement

An action is a specification of an executable statement that forms an abstraction of a computational procedure that results in a change in the state of the model, realized by sending a message to an object or modifying a value of an attribute.

In the metamodel an Action is a part of an ActionSequence and may contain a specification of a target as well as a specification of the arguments (actual parameters) of the dispatched Request.

The target metaattribute is of type ObjectSetExpression which, when executed, resolves into zero or more specific Instances which are the intended recipients of the dispatched Request. Similarly, it is associated with a list of Arguments which at runtime are resolved to the actual arguments of the Request. The recurrence metaattribute specifies how many times the resulted Request should be sent every time the Action is executed.

Action is an abstract metaclass
