Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary:

in UML Profile for CORBA, where it describes the UML notation examples for mapping of CORBA sequences/arrays...there is some significant confusion on my part with respect to the notation examples given. See Figure 3-27 for an example. In this figure the class stereotyped as <<CORBAAnonymousSequence>> has a composition association with a class stereotyped as <<CORBAPrimitive>>. The latter class has the following text appearing in the name compartment: "CORBA::short". I am bewildered at how the type can be represented in the name compartment of the class. I am trying to use a tool to auto-generate IDL from UML, and have no way to represent this, and I am unsure if this is even valid as per the UML specification. Is this legal, or is necessary to have an attribute that is of type CORBA::short in the attribute compartment?
