UML 2.2 RTF Avatar
  1. OMG Issue

UML22 — Section: 7.3.10

  • Key: UML22-205
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9617
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: oose Innovative Informatik eG ( Mr. Tim Weilkiens)
  • Summary:

    The description of Constraint mentions the xor-association that is predefined in UML. There's no place in the superstructure (and infrastructure) where that constraint is defined.

  • Reported: UML 2.1.1 — Tue, 2 May 2006 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Figure 7.34 shows an

    {xor}

    constraint attached to two associations, indicating an Account can be a property of Person or Corporation, but not at the same time. Section 7.3.10 Constraint references “xor” constraint as an example of a UML predefined constraint.
    The xor constraint is not explicitly defined in UML. Rather it is used as an example of a constraint between associations as in figure 7.34, and as an example of an expression in section 7.3.18. So the parenthetical remark about xor being an example of a UML predefined constraint in section 7.3.10 should be removed.
