void handlerMethod(CycleHandler STATE_CONTEXT,
                 String NAME,
                 RuleSet events)

This method should be the only way to perform the action of a state. It is called by the handlerMethod() of the class CycleHandler which manages the cycles.

Parameters:

STATE_CONTEXT - the manager of the state which is here the only instance of CycleHandler.

NAME - the name of the step. It has no use except to debug.

events - an object RuleSet that contains the events/actions that will be or have been performed during the very cycle.
