If it has 055 input ports, then on each firing, before executing the referenced 056 model, this actor will read an input token from the input port, if 057 there is one, and use it to set the value of a top-level parameter 058 in the contained model that has the same name as the port, if there 059 is one. The simplest way to ensure that there is a matching parameter 060 is to use a PortParameter for inputs. However, this actor will work 061 also for ordinary ports. In this case, if this actor has a 062 parameter with the same name as the port, and it is an instance 063 of Variable (or its derived class Parameter), then the token 064 read at the input is moved into it using its setToken() method. 065 Otherwise, if it is an instance of Settable, then a string representation 066 of the token is copied using the setExpression() method. 067 Input ports should not be multiports, and if they are, then 068 all but the first channel will be ignored. 069 <p> 070 If this actor has output ports and the contained model is executed, 071 then upon completion of that execution, if this actor has parameters 072 whose names match those of the output ports, then the final value of 073 those parameters is sent to the output ports. If such a parameter is an 074 instance of Variable (or its derived class Parameter), then its 075 contained token is sent to the output token. Otherwise, if it is an 076 instance of Settable, then a string token is produced on the output 077 with its value equal to that returned by getExpression() of the 078 Settable. Output ports should not be multiports. If they are, 079 then all but the first channel will be ignored. 080 A typical use of this actor will use the SetVariable actor 081 inside to define the value of the output port. 082 <p> 083 In preinitialize(), type constraints are set up so that input 084 and output ports with (name) matching parameters are constrained 085 to have compatible types. Note that if the ports or parameters 086 are changed during execution, then it will be necessary to set 087 up matching type constraints by hand. Since this isn't possible 088 to do from Vergil, the ports and parameters of this actor 089 should not be changed using Vergil during execution. 090 <p> 091 This actor also overrides the requestChange() method and the 092 executeChangeRequests() method to execute the given change. It does not 093 delegate the change request to the container, but executes the request 094 immediately or records it, depending on whether setDeferringChangeRequests() 095 has been called with a true argument. 096 097 @author Edward A.
