Issue 5907: formal/03-03-01 : Omission of definition of Class "Action" (uml2-rtf) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: I believe I found an omission from the UML 1.5 Specification formal/03-03-01: p. 2-112, Fig. 2-18: Association between "Message" and "Action (from Common Behavior)" In Sec. 2.9 Common Behavior; none of the diagrams or text specify Class "Action". p. Index-1 cites "Action" p 2-103. p. 2-103 has no mention of "Action". The first item in Sec. 2.9.3 is "2.9.3.1 AttributeLink", not "2.9.3.1 Action" as would be alphabetized. My question is what is definition of the "Action" Class in Fig. 2-18?

My question is what is definition of the "Action" Class in Fig. 2-18? Discussion: This pertains to parts of an older version of the UML spec (1.5) which has completely changed in UML 2.0. This issue is no longer relevant.

Thank You, Kurt Stephens ks.uml@kurtstephens.com From: Edwin Seidewitz To: uml-rtf@omg.org Subject: RE: issue 5907 -- UML RTF issue (to be chartered) Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 16:19:15 -0400 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2655.55) Figure 2-18 is essentially correct in that a Message should still be associated with an Action. However, in UML 1.5, the Action class has been moved out of the Common Behaviors package into the new Action Foundation package (see Section 2.16). The definition of Action is now given in Section 2.19.3, "Action Foundation Classes", on page 2-219. Unfortunately, it looks like the diagram was not updated in the document to reflect that Action is no longer "from Common Behavior", but, rather "from Action Foundation". Also, the index entry is incorrect and should now reference page 2-219. (It looks like this is left over from the UML 1.4 index, when Action was, indeed, defined in Common Behaviors at about page 2-103. Note that there is also still an entry in the index for "ActionSequence", which no longer exists in UML 1.5.) This looks to be basically an editorial fix. -- Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: Juergen Boldt [mailto:juergen@omg.org] > Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2003 2:47 PM > To: issues@omg.org; uml-rtf@omg.org > Subject: issue 5907 -- UML RTF issue (to be chartered) > > > This is issue # 5907 Kurt Stephens > > > formal/03-03-01 : Omission of definition of Class "Action" > > I believe I found an omission from the UML 1.5 Specification > formal/03-03-01: > > > p. 2-112, Fig. 2-18: Association between "Message" and > "Action (from > Common Behavior)" > > > In Sec. 2.9 Common Behavior; none of the diagrams or text > specify Class > "Action". > > > p.
