EAI — Lack of semantics for a "false" terminal on an EAIFilter in the metamodel

  • Key: EAI-89

  • Summary:

    Document: UML Profile and Interchange Models for EAI
    Section: 8.3.3 (Filters)

    Description:
    Section 8.3.3 states that a filter has two output terminals, labeled "true" and "false", and, if a message content meets the filter criteria, then "the content is sent to the 'true' output terminal, otherwise it is sent to the 'false' output terminal." However, this is inconsistent with Section 6.4.1.1 on EAIFilter in the metamodel, which states that "A filter's output is a copy of its input. No output occurs if the input message does not satisfy the filter condition." There is no semantics given for a "false" terminal.

    Recommendation:
    Having "true" and "false" outputs on a filter is quite useful. The semantic descriptions in Section 6.4.1.1 should be changed to reflect the semantics of true/false output terminals
