public class InitialState
extends PseudoState

An initial state is a pseudo-state that represents the starting point of a sequential state. Every sequential state must have only one initial state. This initial state can be the source state of one or more transitions associated with no events. If a transition enters a sequential state without specifying a substate, its initial state will be activated and all the transitions starting from it will be evaluated to find the one to be fired.

Method Detail

enter

public void enter()
           throws WorkflowException

Enters the initial state. When the initial state is entered all the transitions starting from it will be evaluated to find the one to follow. Once the right transition is found it will be fired. If all the transition guards return false an IllegalStateException will be thrown.

Overrides:

enter in class State

Throws:

WorkflowException
