Issue 4910: Instantiating classifiers                                                                                                                                                                               (action-semantics-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: [Sridhar Iyengar] 26. CreateObjectAction class: "This action
instantiates classifier" - It is later stated in the same para, the
semantics is undefined for creating objects from abstract classifiers or
from AssociationClasses.  Note that since Classifier itself is an
abstract class, the text in this section is confusing at best.  Suggest
it be reworded to 'This action instantiates a specific Class - instead
of the general term 'classifier'.  Since this spec does not say much
about how any other subtype of Classifier (other than Class) is
instantiated, let us keep it simple.


Resolution: accept
Revised Text: Changed first sentence of entry for CreateObjectAction in Read
     Write Chapter to:

       This action instantiates a concrete classifier.


Actions taken:
March 5, 2002: received issue
December 11, 2002: closed issue
Discussion: 
Change to "instantiates a concrete classifier".  This is not related to
Classifer being abstract, because Classifier is at M2, and the action
will apply to classifiers at M1.
