UML22 — Section: 8.3.1

There is a notational conflict in the white box view of a component. If a part is typed by a component the component symbol is shown in the upper right corner of the part rectangle. The same position is used to show the multiplicity of the part.

The upper right corner of a connectable element could be used to denote the multiplicity. The same position is used to show the component symbol if the connectable element is typed by a component. It is also used by stereotype symbols. The presentation option for the multiplicity is in conflict with other standard UML notations. However it is only an option and not a mandatory presentation.

Disposition: Closed, no change
