UML25 — parts should be allowed to show their interfaces

  • Key: UML25-513
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18695
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: oose Innovative Informatik eG ( Mr. Axel Scheithauer)
  • Summary:

    The specification allows ports on parts to also show the interfaces of the type of the port:

    page 202: "Lollipop and socket symbols may optionally be shown to indicate the provided and required interfaces of the Port, using the same notation as for the Port’s definition."

    The same thing is not allowed for parts. While it might be not all that important for parts, it makes the notation incoherent.

    Proposed Resolution:
    Add following sentence:

    "Lollipop and socket symbols may optionally be shown to indicate the provided and required interfaces of the Part, using the same notation as for the Part’s definition."

  • Disposition Summary:

    The issue is correct, and it is indeed inconsistent not to permit this option
