UML22 — Figure 89 on page 158 is incorrect

  • Key: UML22-66
  • Legacy Issue Number: 8168
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Simula Research Laboratory ( Dr. Bran Selic)
  • Summary:

    ptc/04-10-02: Figure 89 on page 158 is incorrect: the delegation connector on the left seems to be pointing the wrong way.

    More generally, it is not clear why an arrow is required on delegation connectors, since they are automatically implied when a port is connected to a part or a port on a part. The arrow can be misleading since some may interpret incorrectly it as a restriction on the direction of data flow. Note that the table 5 on page 166 does not show the arrow notation nor does table 7.

    Finally, the title of table 5 should say: "graphic paths" instead of "graphic nodes"

  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    The first part refers to figure 8.12. The "more generally" part applies to figure 8.16 and the associated text.
    Delegation connectors do not need any special notation other than that defined for connectors in general in table 9.2.
    The third aspect of this issue is a duplicate of 12236, already resolved.
