UML22 — Connector - typo and inconsistency

  • Key: UML22-1281
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7240
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: PostFinance ( Karl Guggisberg)
  • Summary:

    Connector - typo and inconsistency "A connector consists of at two connector ends, each of which represents the participation of instances of the classifiers typing the connectable elements attached to this end. The set of connector ends is ordered. (Subsets Element.ownedElement.)" should be "A connector consists of at least two connector ends, each of which represents the participation of instances of the classifiers typing the connectable elements attached to this end. The set of connector ends is ordered. (Subsets Element::ownedElement.)" Also, "instances of the classifiers typing the connectable elements attached to this end" is not correct, because ConnectableElement is not a specialization of TypedElement. But all known specializations of ConnectableElement, namely Parameter, Variable, Port, and Property, are (indirect) specializations of TypedElement. I suggest to replace NamedElement in Figure 96 by TypedElement. ConnectableElement then automatically becomes a specialization of both TypedElement and NamedElement.
