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

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
