UML23 — notation of objet flow <> and <>

Description:

Notation of ObjectFlow "selection" and "transformation" as a note symbole does not specifiy the content of the note relatively to these behaviors.

In exemples figures 12.75 and 12.112 this note contains OCL constraints or free text.

It could be usefull to specify what needs to be displayed. For exemple :

• if the selection/transformation is an OpaqueBehavior then the body of the OpaqueBehavior is dislayed in the note
• if the selection/transformation is another Behavior then the name of the Behavior is displayed in the note

Note that same problem occurs for ObjectNode selection

This issue is obsolete. The UML 2.5 specification, in subclause 15.2.4, at the end of the paragraph describing the
selection and transformation Behavior notation, has the sentence: “The body of the note symbol may either contain
a textual representation of the Behavior (e.g., the body of an OpaqueBehavior) or the name of a Behavior that is not
represented textually.”
