All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.commons.workflow.Descriptors, org.apache.commons.workflow.Step

public class NotAndStep

extends GotoStep

Evaluate properties specified by the associated Descriptors, and transfer control to the specified step if ALL of them are false (if boolean) or null (if Object). This is the exact opposite of AndStep To avoid non-deterministic evaluation stack behavior, all of the specified Descriptors are always evaluated.

Supported Attributes:

• step - Identifier of the Step to which control should be transferred if the condition is not met.
