Issue 19409: Figures 15.45 and 15.46 in the spec are bad examples as they are of malformed activity diagrams (uml2-rtf) Source: Change Vision (Mr. Michael Jesse Chonoles, mjchonoles(at)yahoo.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Figures 15.45 and 15.46 in the spec are bad examples as they are of malformed activity diagrams, which can never execute. The first behavior is a successor of the first behavior, and, as such, can never execute. The figures can be fixed by preceding the first behavior with a start node which has as its successor a merge node, which has as its successor the first behavior. Then the loop back from the downstream decision node must be connected to the merge node.
