UML14 — 14.3: StateInvariant and ExecutionOccurrence

  • Key: UML14-382
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6454
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    14.3: StateInvariant and ExecutionOccurrence are both subclasses of InteractionFragment. "Each interaction fragment is conceptually like an interaction by itself." [14.3.9] And, indeed, "An ExecutionOccurrence is an instantiation of a unit of behavior..." [14.3.4] But, "A StateInvariant is a constraint on ... state..." [14.3.17] That's not like an interaction by itself, nor like any interaction at all. We've mixed models of behavior with specifications of constraints on state.

    This is an example of a recurrent problem in the specification: subclasses that are not like their superclasses.
    ...

    Suggested resolution: Review the specification with this in mind and correct all improper subtyping
