UML22 — Inconsistency in Superstructure 2.2 p. 550

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML22-455
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12915
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( James Bruck)
  • Summary:

    There seems to be an inconsistency in the spec.

    Supersturcture v2.2 ptc/2008-05-xx
    p 550

    The spec mentions:
    A state with isSimple=true is said to be a simple state. A simple state does not have any regions **and it does not refer to any submachine state machine.**

    It also says in the constraints section ( constraint [4] ) :
    A simple state is a state without any regions. isSimple = region.isEmpty()

    The constraint seems to be missing the part about not refering to any submachine state machine.

  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    The submitter is correct. Add the missing constraint to the isSimple() operation of State by adding that the
    isSubmachineState attribute has to be false
