UML25 — ActionInputPin notations missing

  • Key: UML25-502
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18507
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    UML 2.4.1, in the activity notation for ActionInputPin (as specialized) (Clause 12.3.3), says:

    "An action input pin with a ReadVariableAction as a fromAction is notated as an input pin with the variable name written beside it. An action input pin with a ReadSelfObject as a fromAction is notated as an input pin with the word “self” written beside it. An action input pin with a ValueSpecification as a fromAction is notated as an input pin with the value specification written beside it."

    The above seems to be missing from 2.5's notation section for ActionInputPin (Clause 16.2.4), though it is covered in Annex B (Clause B.4.3, Activity Diagram Labels), search on "ActionInputPin".

    Would also be good to include figures in the notation section for ActionInputPin (Clause 16.2.4), similar to Figure 16.38 (Presentation option for AddVariableValueAction).
