Interface ActionComposer

public interface ActionComposer

An interface that models a factory of actions.

This interface is designed to be a "visitor" of "calls", each of which represents a call of an action (ActionFactory).

A call is a model of an occurrence of an action, and it has input and output.

Calls can be categorized into two. Calls for scenes (Scene) and calls for acts (Act). Corresponding to the subclasses of Act, there are subcategories of it, which are LeafAct, AssertionAct, and PipelinedAct.

In this interface, there are create(XyzCall xyzCall, Map<String, Function<Context, Object>> assignmentResolversFromCurrentCall) methods defined.

assignmentResolversFromCurrentCall is a map from a variable name to a function which resolves its value from the ongoing context object. By relying on this object for resolving variable values referenced inside Act objects (, which are held by Calls), we can define Act objects work in different variable spaces without changing code (transparent to variable space name, which is determined by a call's object name).
