Issue 5655: How does one indicate the target object for a CallState (uml2-superstructure-ftf) Source: Texas Department of Human Services (Mr. Srinivas Nedunuri, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: How does one indicate the target object for a CallState (i.e. the actual object that executes the stated action/method)? If the target action takes no parameters then it may be possible to say that the target object is just the object flowing into the CallState. But what if it does take parameters? (e.g. the Person.Drive(to: Place) example in Fig. 3-88). That would require more than one object to be flowing into the CallState and leads to an ambiguity about which constitutes the target and which the parameter. P.S. The actual object may be passed around by the activity diagram, so it is not possible to show it statically on a swimlane (even if that is the recommended way) Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: September 27, 2002: received issue March 9, 2005: closed issue Discussion: Resolved in UML 2 by CallOperationAction Disposition: Closed, no change End of Annotations:===== From: "Nedunuri,Srinivas" To: "'issues@omg.org'" Cc: "'wask@omg.org'" Subject: parameters to object flow states Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 16:26:30 -0500 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2656.59) Hello, I have been studying the UML 1.4 spec for some time now, and have been struggling with how to interpret some of the statements, particularly regarding Activity Graphs/Diagrams. I would appreciate clarification on the following: 1) How does one indicate the target object for a CallState (i.e. the actual object that executes the stated action/method)? If the target action takes no parameters then it may be possible to say that the target object is just the object flowing into the CallState. But what if it does take parameters? (e.g. the Person.Drive(to: Place) example in Fig. 3-88). That would require more than one object to be flowing into the CallState and leads to an ambiguity about which constitutes the target and which the parameter. P.S.
