UML22 — Section: 14.4

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML22-186
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9340
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Digital River ( Mark Mendel)
  • Summary:

    The comment in figure 14.2 in the top right cell identifies the last message as a reply, but it is in fact a creation message. See 14.3.20 Message, Notation, pg. 478: Synchronous Messages typically represent method calls and are shown with a filled arrow head. The reply message from a method has a dashed line. Object creation Message has a dashed line with an open arrow.

  • Disposition Summary:

    The only indication of the notation for reply messages in 2.4.1 was table 14.2 and some examples, all of
    which showed a dashed line with open arrowhead. So we assume this was normative even though it was not
    very explicit.
