FUML12 — RemoveStructuralFeatureValueAction: Removal of links does not consider provided input value

In the case a RemoveStructuralFeatureValueAction is used to remove a link, the provided input value is not taken into account but only the object owning the defined association end. However, the UML standard states: “If the feature is an association end, the semantics are the same as for destroying links, the participants of which are the object owning the structural feature and the value being removed.” Thus, only links between the provided object (object pin) and value (value pin) should be considered.

The following code could be a resolution to this issue:

public class RemoveStructuralFeatureValueActionActivation
extends
fUML.Semantics.Actions.IntermediateActions.WriteStructuralFeatureActionActivation {

public void doAction() {
...
if (association != null) {
LinkList links = this.getMatchingLinks(association, feature, value);

>>> if(inputValue != null)

...
}
}

Update RemoveStructuralFeatureValueActionActivation

The issue is correct about the problem. However, the suggested solution would not work properly. As suggested, in the case that inputValue != null, the set of matching links previously found is replaced by a list of links that have the correct value for the action's structural feature. But these links will no longer necessarily have the action's object value as their opposite end value. What is needed is for matching links to have both the current opposite end value and, if inputValue != null, the correct near end value.
