Issue 4727: UML 1.4: Action containment error (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Because Action is a ModelElement, it may be contained as an ownedElement
[UML 1.4, pp. 2-13, fig. 2-5] in a ClassifierRole, Model, Package, Artifact,
Node or Collaboration (all other concrete subclasses of Namespace restrict
their owned elements to exclude Action).

Because Actions are only used in the context of either a StateMachine or a
CollaborationInstanceSet, this containment does not seem to make sense.

In order to exclude these containments, the wellformedness rules for Action
could include the following statement:

self.namespace = null

FTF,


The issues below were proposed to Activity/Action WG's on December 20,
updated with comments since then, and are ready for FTF discussion.
They cover the "easy" ones, ie, small corrections and clarfications.


Please give feedback in the next week (before January 12th, 1200 US
Eastern).


Thanks,


Conrad
