Issue 6513: Components and artifacts: Dependency problem  - UML2 Superstructure (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source: oose Innovative Informatik eG (Mr. Tim Weilkiens, tim.weilkiens(at)oose.de)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Reading the component section of the specification I come across a 
dependency
problem. Figure 2-9 shows a white-bix representation of a component. 
The bottom
compartment lists the related artifacts. But the direction of 
manifest dependency 
is from the artifact as source to the component as target. So the 
component
does not know anything about its implementing artifacts.


In my opinion the artifacts compartment is wrong.

Actions taken:
November 7, 2003: received issue
March 9, 2005: closed issue
Discussion: 
The notation has functional use in offering the user a central view to get to the different
aspects of a component. The notation provided can be straightforwardly supported by
tools since they can find all artifacts that represent a certain component (viz. navigate
from the Artifact side: Artifact.manifestation.utilizedElement ) if they wish to support
this notation.
Disposition: Closed, no change

Is that true?
