UMLR — Notation of Lifelines

Open Closed All
  • Key: UMLR-248
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15991
  • Status: open  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( Mr. Adam Neal)
  • Summary:

    In UML 2.3, section 14.3.19 (Lifelines), the notation of a lifeline is given as follows:

    <lifelineident> ::= ([‘[‘ ‘]’]] [: [decomposition]) | ‘self’ <selector> ::= <expression> <decomposition> ::= ‘ref’ <interactionident> [‘strict’]

    Given a Lifeline has an explicit name, it seems as though its not allowed to be displayed. Does anyone know if there is a specific reason for not showing the name of a Lifeline given it has one?
