The offending lines are these:
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new IllegalActionException(e.getMessage());
}
The issue is that in PN, the fire() method is invoked in an infinite
loop in its own thread. The get() method blocks until there is input
available. When the PN director detects that there are no more
tokens to process, it causes to get() to throw a
TerminateProcessException. It would not work for get() to just
return, because then the infinite loop would continue and the thread
would never terminate.
You could change this to:
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!(e instanceof TerminateProcessExeption)) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new IllegalActionException(e.getMessage());
}
}
Note further that it would be better to replace
throw new IllegalActionException(e.getMessage());
with
throw new IllegalActionException(this, e, e.getMessage());
This will cause the offending actor to be highlighted, and the chain
of exception stack traces to be shown. It makes it unnecessary to
do this:
e.printStackTrace();

Hi Christopher, I think I'm doing some weird mistake, but I don't understand why the other actors I wrote work. Anyway, here's the (stripped down) actor that doesn't work and the model.

How is your model supposed to be stopped?When all the tokens have been consumed, which works for most of my actors with the PN and for all of them with the DDF. Cheers, Vincenzo
