Child Class Description
ezcWorkflowNodeLoop The Loop node type is a special type of conditional branch node that has two incoming nodes instead of just one. It is used to conveniently express loops.
ezcWorkflowNodeMultiChoice This node implements the Multi-Choice workflow pattern.
ezcWorkflowNodeExclusiveChoice This node implements the Exclusive Choice workflow pattern.

Inherited Constants

From ezcWorkflowNode:
ezcWorkflowNode::WAITING_FOR_ACTIVATION    The node is waiting to be activated.
ezcWorkflowNode::WAITING_FOR_EXECUTION    The node is activated and waiting to be executed.

Member Variables

protected array( $configuration = array(
'condition' => array(),'else'=>array())

Holds the conditions of the out nodes.

The key is the position of the out node in the array of out nodes.

protected integer $maxActivatedConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The maximum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node may activate. Set to false to disable this constraint.
protected integer $minActivatedConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The minimum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node has to activate. Set to false to disable this constraint.
protected integer $minConditionalOutNodes = false
Constraint: The minimum number of conditional outgoing nodes this node has to have. Set to false to disable this constraint.

public void verify( )
Checks this node's constraints.
