Class ModelAction

java.lang.Object

  +--org.scopemvc.core.ModelAction

public final class ModelAction

extends java.lang.Object

Actions on model objects can be invoked via ActionManager's API, taking a ModelAction to describe the method to invoke. A ModelAction contains a method name and a Class[] to describe the parameters in the method signature.

ModelActions are probably not used by application builders who will more likely call a model object's methods directly.
