UML14 — Outgoing edges from input pins

  • Key: UML14-153
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6091
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    (Quote from Semantics of CompleteStructuredActivities) "An object
    node attached to a structured activity node is accessible within the
    node. The same rules apply as for control flow. An input pin on a
    structured activity node implies that no action in the node may begin
    execution until all input pins have received tokens. An output pin on
    a structured activity node will make tokens available outside the
    node only after no tokens left in the node or its contained nodes
    recursively."

    So input pins on structured activity nodes are "accessible within the
    node" (as one would expect), but a constraint on InputPin says "input
    pins have incoming edges only". So how are they accessed from within
    the structured activity node? Analogous question for output pins of
    structured activity nodes, which can have outgoing edges only.
