Method Detail

### createActionFor

    public static BasicAction createActionFor(java.lang.Object o,
                                              java.lang.String methodName)

  Creates a BasicAction whose execute method calls the specified method on the specified object. The method should take no arguments.

  Parameters:
    `o` - the object to the call the method on.
    `methodName` - the name of the method to call.
  Returns:
    the created BasicAction

### createActionForEach

    public static BasicAction createActionForEach(java.util.List list,
                                                  java.lang.String methodName)

  Creates a BasicAction whose execute method calls the specified method on every object in the specified list. Assumes that all the objects in the list are of the same class. The method should take no arguments.

  Parameters:
    `list` - the list containing the object to call the method on
    `methodName` - the name of the method to call
  Returns:
    the created BasicAction

### createActionForEachRnd

    public static BasicAction createActionForEachRnd(java.util.List list,
                                                     java.lang.String methodName)

  Creates a BasicAction whose execute method calls the specified method on every object in the specified list. Assumes that all the objects in the list are of the same class. The method should take no arguments. The list is randomized (shuffled) with SimUtilties.shuffle before iterating through it.

  Parameters:
    `list` - the list containing the object to call the method on
    `methodName` - the name of the method to call
  Returns:
    the created BasicAction

### createActionForEach

    public static BasicAction createActionForEach(java.util.List list,

                                                  java.lang.String methodName)

  Creates a BasicAction whose execute method calls the specified method on every Object of the specified Class in the specified list. This is used when the objects in the list are not all of the same class, but are children of a common super class.

  Parameters:
    `list` - the list containing the objects to call the method on
    `superClass` - the class to use when creating the BasicAction.
    `methodName` - the name of the method to call
  Returns:
    the created BasicAction

    `methodName` - the name of the method to call
  Returns:
    the created BasicAction

### getNoArgMethod

    public static java.lang.reflect.Method getNoArgMethod(java.lang.Object o,
