UML22 — UML's support for null values and semantics is unclear

  • Key: UML22-207
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9700
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    UML's support for null values and semantics is unclear.
    For example if a Property is defined [1..1] then is a value of null (represented by LiteralNull) permitted? (LiteralNull is defined as "LiteralNull is intended to be used to explicitly model the lack of a value.")
    Can null values be used to create a sparse array? If not how is a fixed length sparse array to be modeled?
    Can a unique multivalued property contain multiple nulls?
    How do the StructuralFeatureActions react in the presence of null?
    [Note that the issue is NOT related to the "null token"]
