UML14 — UML 2 Super/Interactions/Alternative with all false guards

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML14-523
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7160
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    Semantics of the alternative CombinedFragment (page 410) does not describe what happens if all branches are guarded, and
    all guards are false.
    Does this means: a) empty trace, or b) (dynamically) invalid trace ?
    I suggest to add a sentence, defining such traces as dynamically invalid.
    This will be consistent with the behavior of a ConditionalNode in Activities (page 313): "if no test section yields a true value, then no body section is executed; this may be a semantic error if output values are expected from the conditional node".
