046//// ExecuteCompositeActor
047
048/**
049 This is a composite actor that can execute the contained model
050 completely, as if it were a top-level model, on each firing.
051 This can be used to define an actor whose firing behavior
052 is given by a complete execution of a submodel.
053 <p>
054 An instance of this actor can have ports added to it.  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.
