UML14 — Operations and derived attributes

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML14-526
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7219
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: TimeWarp Engineering Ltd. ( Steven Cramer)
  • Summary:

    I am looking at ValueSpecification which introduces Additional Operations, such as integerValue(). My question is : What is the reasoning behind making these Operations vs. Derived attributes?

    In MultiplicityElement we have a derived attribute lower which is equal to lowerBound(). What logic is used to determine whether an Operation has a corresponding Attribute?

    Also the spec seems to indicate that all derived values will be implemented via some operation. Is this a requirement or an assumption of implementation?

    Why can’t lower in MultiplicityElement simple be defined as if lowerValue->notEmpty() then 1 else lowerValue.integerValue()… what makes the lowerBound() operation required?
