SendSignalAction completion semantics

  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.3
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add active behavior to EventOccurrence

    Adding an event occurrence into the event pool of the target should always be done in a separate execution thread than that of the sender of the event occurrence. Not only does this better model the asynchronous nature of signal sends, it also better models the semantics of inter-object communication in general, as discussed in 2.4 Genericity of the Execution Model, even for, say, call event occurrences. That is because the semantics of concurrency in fUML allows for arbitrary sequential or parallel ordering of the execution of concurrent behaviors. Therefore, having concurrent threads for actually sending each event occurrence to the target better models the possibility that concurrent sends may be arbitrarily re-ordered, or even potentially lost (if the execution of a send behavior ends up being postponed, say, until sequentially after its target object has been destroyed).

7.4.2.2.12 JoinNode & clarifying the confusing terminology between conformance and compliance

  • Key: FUML12-2
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13510
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NASA ( Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette)
  • Summary:

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Section: 2 (Conformance)

    Since fUML is a subset of the UML, there are two possible kinds of syntactic conformance issues:

    a) Checking whether an M1 model written in a superset of fUML (e.g., the UML) conforms to the fUML subset.

    b) Checking whether an M2 extension of fUML (e.g., SysML, UML) complies with the fUML subset

    Proposed resolution:

    1) Clarify the meaning of the confusing terminology:

    • Syntactic conformance is a criteria for M1 models, i.e., (a) above.
    • Syntactic compliance is a criteria relative to a compliance level of an M2 metamodel, i.e. (b) above or to a package unit defined in an M2 metamodel.

    This proposed resolution is consistent with the current terminology of compliance levels for metamodels including fUML, UML, UML4SysML, etc…

    2) Distinguish in the specification document conformance vs. compliance constraints.

    For example, per 12.3.34 of the UML 2.2, a JoinNode as a required ValueSpecification:

    JointNode::joinSpec : ValueSpecification[1..1] with a default value: “and”

    Clearly, the fUML subset does not support M1 models with a JointNode whose joinSpec is anything except the default “and” value specification. This is an M1 conformance constraint that can be specified in OCL.

    Extensions of fUML such as the UML itself should not have this constraint because it is not a compliance requirement for any extension of fUML such as the UML which specifically allows join specification values other than “and”.

    Compliance constraints should be constraints that fUML and any M2 extension of fUML satisfy.

    Conformance constraints are more restrictive; they specify how to verify that an M1 model written in a given superset of fUML (e.g., UML) is still within the fUML subset.

    7.4.2.2.12 JoinNode

    Add a comformance constraint:

    [1] conformance relative to UML::Activities::CompleteActivities (unmerged) or to UML L3 (merged)

    – The join specification must be “and”

    self.joinSpec.oclIsTypeOf(LiteralString) and self.joinSpec.oclAsType(LiteralString).value = 'and'

  • Disposition: Closed; Out Of Scope — FUML 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Out of scope

    This is an important issue. However. It is more than can be dealt with in the context of the fUML RTF. A general strategy is needed in the context of other standards extending fUML, which are now already emerging (such as PSCS and PSSM). Perhaps this can be done as part of the transition of fUML to UML 2,5, which is also beyond the scope of this issue.

    In addition, the proposed conformance/compliance terminology is probably not consistent with ISO practice.

Revise fUML to be based on UML 2.3

  • Key: FUML-51
  • Legacy Issue Number: 14550
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Mr. Ed Seidewitz)
  • Summary:

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundational Subset for Executable UML Models (ptc/2008-11-03)

    The fUML syntax subset and its semantics are currently based on UML 2.2. The UML 2.3 resolved a number of issues relevant to execution semantics. The fUML specification should be updated so it is based on UML 2.3 rather than UML 2.2.

    Relevant semantic issues include, in particular:

    • 6111 Reentrancy 1
    • 9863 Section: Actions – Output of read actions for no values
    • 9870 Actions on non-unique properties with location specified
    • 9858 Default weight
    • 9873 Section: Common Behavior – isReentrant should default to true
    • 10045 11.3.47 on StructuralFeatureAction (and related sections on subclasses)
    • 11646 StructuredActivityNode
    • 13898 what's the difference > between weight=1 and weight=*?
    • 13914 Clarify that input pins do not accept more tokens than their actions can immediately consume
  • Reported: FUML 1.0b1 — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    In addition to the issues noted above, the following UML RTF Issues resolved in UML 2.3 make abstract syntax changes within the fUML subset. While these do not result in any semantic changes, they should be made in the fUML abstract syntax to ensure that it remains a proper subset of the UML 2.3 abstract syntax.

    · 8682 A test case cannot be empty
    · 10081 Section 13.2 (body property of OpaqueBehavior)
    · 10515 Section 7 (property isLeaf inherited by Class)
    · 12558 Section 13.3 (multiplicity of Reception::signal)

    For the issues identified in the issue, which do have semantic effect, the following summarizes the changes needed in the fUML Execution Model.

    · 6111 - The resolution to this issue adds the attribute isLocallyReentrant to Action. The default is false, meaning that an action cannot fire more than once concurrently within the same activity execution. The current fUML behavior effectively presumes isLocallyReentrant=true, that is, that all actions can fire multiple times concurrently. The fUML semantics should be updated to support isLocallyReentrant=false as the default, as well as isLocallyReentrant=true. This requires adding an attribute to the ActionActivation class to record that the action is firing and checking this in the isReady operation. The check at the end of an action firing for whether an action should fire again should trigger any firing that is still pending after being delayed by a lack of local reentrancy.
    · 9863 - The resolution of this issue clarifies that a read structural feature action will offer a null token if it reads an empty structural feature and that a read link action will offer a null token if there are no matching links. Currently, the fUML semantics are that no offers are made from an object node that contains no tokens, including the output pins of actions. This should be changed in general so that an object node offers a null token when it fires and holds no tokens. This can be done by overriding the sendOffers operation in ObjectNodeActivation.
    · 9858 - This issue suggested that the default activity edge weight should be * rather than 1. However, the resolution clarified that weight=1 actually does have the behavior the issue writer desired, so the issue was closed with no change. ActivityEdge::weight is defined in the CompleteActivities package, so it is not actually included in the fUML subset. However, this issue resolution means that the current fUML semantics are, in fact, consistent with the default weight=1, rather than weight=*, as previously thought.
    · 9870 - The resolution of this issue changes remove structural feature value actions so that they do not have a value pin if they have a removeAt pin. This requires an update to the RemoveStructuralFeatureValueActionActivation::doAction operation.
    · 9873 - The resolution of this issue changes the default to true for Behavior::isReentrant. However, the fUML subset already requires this, so no change is necessary. The fUML semantics are now consistent with the UML default, however.
    · 10045 - The resolution of this issue clarifies that a structural feature action can be used to read and write an association end of a binary association as if it was a feature of the opposite classifier, even if the end is not actually owned by that classifier. This requires updating the doAction operations of the various structural feature action activation classes so that the actions behave like the corresponding link action if their structural feature is an association end. (Note that association ends are never classifier-owned in fUML.)
    · 11646 - The resolution of this issue adds structuredNodeInput and structuredNodeOutput properties to StructuredActivityNode, subsetting the input and output properties of Action. This allows structured activity nodes to properly own input and output pins. However, this actually has no direct effect on the fUML Execution Model, which already presumed that structured activity nodes could own pins, but referenced them using the inherited Action::input and output properties.
    · 13898 - The resolution to this issue clarifies that the weight on an activity edge only specifies the minimum number of tokens that must be accepted for tokens to flow, not the maximum number that can flow. The fUML semantics are consistent with the default of weight=1. (See also the discussion of Issue 9858 above.)
    · 13914 - The resolution to this issue clarifies that an input pin cannot accept more tokens than their actions can immediately consume. Currently, fUML semantics allows an input pin to accept all tokens offered to it, which then can be consumed by its action over multiple firings. This can be corrected by overriding the takeOfferedTokens operation in PinActivation to take no more tokens than the multiplicity upper bound of the pin. (Note that by doing this in PinActivation rather than InputPinActivation, an output pin of a structured activity node is also restricted to not take more tokens than its multiplicity upper bound from its incoming flows - which is correct per UML Superstructure Subclause 11.3.27.) This also requires updating the takeOfferedTokens operation on ActivityEdgeInstance to allow taking a specific number of tokens, rather than just the next group of tokens offered together.

Structured activity node execution model needs to be corrected

  • Key: FUML-50

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundational Subset for Executable UML Models (ptc/2008-11-03)
    Subclause: 8.5.3 Complete Structured Activities, 8.5.4 Extra Structured Activities

    The execution model for structured activity nodes has never been tested and thus likely contains errors. At the very least, the specifications for ConditionalNodeActivation and LoopNodeActivation need to be corrected to reflect the fact that the test and body properties only reference executable nodes, not all the nodes that might be contained in the structured activity node and the specification for StructuredActivityNode needs to handle input and output pins.

  • Summary:

    Subclause: 7.5.4.2.2 AcceptEventAction

    The OCL for constraint [1] of AcceptEventAction (fUML_active_context) uses “self.activity” to get the activity for the accept event action. However, the activity property of an action is only non-empty if the action is directly owned by the activity, not nested in a structured activity node. Also, the OCL uses the getContext() operation, which does not seem to be defined in the UML Superstructure or the fUML specification.

  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Note that the subclause for AcceptEventAction is actually 7.5.4.2.1.

    Action has an attribute "context" that gives "the classifier that owns the behavior of which this action is a part". This should be used instead of the "getContext()" operation.

    Subclause: 7.4 Activities

    In Subclause 7.4.1, it says that “The UML 2 Superstructure package CompleteActivities is excluded in its entirety from fUML”. However, there are several Activities metaclasses in the fUML subset that currently include attributes that are only introduced in CompleteActivities. These are:

    ObjectNode::isControlType

    Pin::isControl

    JoinNode::isCombineDuplicate

    During work on the fUML submission, the abstract syntax generalization hierarchy was altered to collapse a number of cases of multiple inheritance to single inheritance, in order to allow a mapping to Java for bootstrap execution purposes. Unfortunately, some of these alterations remain in the spec, even though this violates the intended strict subsetting of the full UML Superstructure abstract syntax. The specific cases include:

    • Type -> Namespace -> PackageableElement in Figure 15
    • Namespace -> PackageableElement in Figure 16

    There are some things excluded from the Kernel in the fUML subset that would probably be better to include.

An action can consume more tokens from a pin than the allowed multiplicity upper bound

  • Key: FUML-4
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13310
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Mr. Ed Seidewitz)
  • Summary:

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Sections: 8.5.2.2.15 (ObjectNodeActivation), 8.6.2.2.1 (ActionActivation), 8.6.2.2.7 (OutputPinActivation), 8.6.2.2.8 (PinActivation)

    Summary:

    When an action fires, all offered tokens are accepted on all input pins (because the default object flow weight for fUML is “*”). However, an action cannot consume more tokens from an input pin than the multiplicity upper bound for that pin. Any additional tokens remain on the pin, the intent being that they can be consumed if and when the action fires again.

    However, currently the ActionActivation::getTokens operation (used to get values from the tokens on an input pin) uses the ActivityNodeActivation::takeTokens operation inherited by InputPin. This operation returns all the tokens on the pin and clears them from the pin, without respecting the multiplicity upper bound. As a result, the ActionActivation::getTokens operation does not respect this upper bound either.

    Proposed resolution:

    Add the following operation to ObjectNodeActivation:

    ObjectNodeActivation::takeUnofferedTokens(): Token[*]

    // Take the next set of unoffered tokens to be offered from this node activation and return them.

    TokenList tokens = this.getUnofferedTokens();

    for (int i = 0; i < tokens.size(); i++)

    { Token token = tokens.getValue(i); token.withdraw(); }

    return tokens;

    (Note: The getUnofferedTokens operation returns a number of tokens equal to the result of the countUnofferedTokens operation. This is overridden in InputPin to limit the count to at most the multiplicity upper bound.)

    In ActionActivation::getTokens, replace the call to getTokens with a call to getUnofferedTokens.

    Add the following operation to OutputPinActivation (overriding the inherited operation):

    OutputPinActivation::fire(incomingTokens: Token[*])

    // Add incoming tokens and send offers on outgoing edges.

    super.fire(incomingTokens);

    this.sendUnofferedTokens();

    In PinActivation::fire, remove the call to this.sendUnofferedTokens.

    (Note: The change to not automatically send the tokens from an input pin is necessary to avoid having the tokens marked as sent before they are read by an action that is not a structured activity node. An input pin can only have outgoing flows if it is an input pin of a structured activity node anyway, so the sending of offers from input pins should be handled in the semantics of structured activity nodes. This will be addressed in a separate, related issue on structured activity node activations.)

    Summary:

    A call action may fire multiple times concurrently. A call action activation needs to keep track of currently ongoing call executions, so that they can all be terminated if the call action activation is terminated. However, CallActionActivation::callExecution currently has a multiplicity upper bound of 1. Therefore, if a call action fires more than once concurrently, subsequent firings will incorrectly overwrite the reference to the callExecution from the first firing.

    Under associations, replace CallActionActivation::callExecution with:

    callExecutions: Execution [*] The set of execution objects for currently ongoing calls made through this call action activation.

The call to receiveOffer at the end of ActionActivation::fire could can cause an infinite recursion

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Section: 8.6.2.2.1 (ActionActivation)

    Summary:

    At the end of ActionActivation::fire, a check is made to see if the action should fire again. The intent is that this should happen if the action has input pins and there are still tokens left on one or more pins after the previous firing (because there were more tokens on the pins than the multiplicity upper bound). Currently, this check is made by first checking that the action has input pins and then calling receiveOffer, so that the isReady test can check for inputs.

    However, if the action input pins, but they are all optional (i.e., multiplicity lower bound of 0), and no incoming control flows, then the action will be ready to fire whether or not there are any inputs on the pins. This will result in an infinite recursion of the action continually firing.

    Proposed resolution:

    Replace:

    // Activate the action again, if prerequisites are still satisfied (i.e., when tokens have been left on input pins).

    Debug.println("[fire] Checking if " + this.node.name + " should fire again...");

    if (((Action)(this.node)).input.size() > 0)

    { this.receiveOffer(); }

    with:

    // Activate the action again, if tokens have been left on input pins and the action has no incoming control flows.

    Debug.println("[fire] Checking if " + this.node.name + " should fire again...");

    if (((Action)(this.node)).input.size() > 0 & this.node.incoming.size() == 0) {

    boolean fireAgain = true;

    InputPinList inputPins = ((Action)(this.node)).input;

    int j = 1;

    while (fireAgain & j <= inputPins.size())

    { PinActivation inputPinActivation = this.getPinActivation(inputPins.getValue(j-1)); fireAgain = inputPinActivation.isReady() & inputPinActivation.countUnofferedTokens() > 0; j = j + 1; }

    if (fireAgain)

    { this.fire(new TokenList()); }

    }

    (Note: This code does not check for incoming control tokens, but, rather, only fires the action again if it has no incoming control flows. If an action has incoming control flows and inputs left on its input pins, then an offer on a control flow will trigger the action to fire again.)

    Summary:

    UML 2.2 added an optional result pin to clear and write structural feature actions. However, the corresponding activation doAction operations assume the result pins are mandatory. If an action does not have a result pin, an error results.

    Proposed resolution:

    At the end of the doAction operations for AddStructuralFeatureValueActionActivation, ClearStructuralFeatureActionActivation and RemoveStructuralFeatureValueActionActivation, replace:

    this.putToken(action.result, value);

    with:

    if (action.result != null)

    { this.putToken(action.result, value); }

Issue: ActivityNodeActivation::clearTokens incorrect

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Section: 8.5.2.2.3 (ActivityNodeActivation)

    Summary:

    The logic for the ActivityNodeActivation::clearTokens operation is incorrect. As coded, this operation withdraws each token held by an activity node activation. However, as each token is withdrawn, it gets removed from the activity node. This means that the indexing of the getValue used to get the next held token will be incorrect.

    Proposed resolution:

    Replace the current code with the following:

    while (this.heldTokens.size() > 0)

    { this.heldTokens.getValue(0).withdraw(); }

  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Mr. Ed Seidewitz)
  • Summary:

    At the end of the ForkNodeActivation::fire operation, offers are sent on all outgoing edges. However, the loop used to do this repeats the logic already in the inherited sendOffers operation, except that the sending is not indicated to be done concurrently, as it should be.

8.6.2.2.1 ActionActivation, 8.6.3.2.4 CreateLinkActionActivation and 8.6.3.2.8 LinkActionActivation

  • Summary:

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Section: 8.6.2.2.1 ActionActivation, 8.6.3.2.4 CreateLinkActionActivation and 8.6.3.2.8 LinkActionActivation

    Depends on: http://www.omg.org/issues/fuml-ftf.html#Issue13544

    Summary:

    Part of CreateLinkActionActivation.doAction() entails destroying all links that have a value for any end for which isReplaceAll is true. (see fUML 1.0, page 238). This involves the following chain of invocations:

    • fUML.Semantics.Actions.IntermediateActions.LinkActionActivation.endMatchesEndData(Link, LinkEndData) – see fUML 1.0, page 238;
    • fUML.Semantics.Actions.BasicActions.ActionActivation.getTokens(InputPin) – see fUML 1.0, page 233;
    • fUML.Semantics.Activities.IntermediateActivities.ActivityNodeActivation.takeTokens() – see fUML 1.0, p. 215

    By taking the tokens from the pin activation corresponding to the input pin, LinkActionActivation.endMatchesEndData() induces side effects on the state of the execution engine each time it is called.

    Proposed Resolution:

    Resolving this issue entails 3 things:

    a) Defining a read-only operation to read the tokens available on an input pin:

    fUML.Semantics.Actions.BasicActions.ActionActivation.readTokens(InputPin)

    /**

    • NFR 04/16/2009 For LinkActionActivation.endMatchesEndData(Link, LinkEndData),
    • we need a mechanism to test whether the available tokens match the link end data
    • and if they do, then actually remove them.
    • readTokens() is the same as getTokens() except that:
    • getTokens() removes the tokens on the pin activation, i.e, pinActivation.takeTokens()
    • readTokens() leaves the tokens on the pin activation, i.e., pinActivation.getTokens()
    • @param pin
    • @return

    */

    public fUML.Semantics.Classes.Kernel.ValueList readTokens(

    fUML.Syntax.Actions.BasicActions.InputPin pin) {

    // Precondition: The action execution has fired and the given pin is

    // owned by the action of the action execution.

    // Take any tokens held by the pin activation corresponding to the given

    // input pin and return them.

    // NFR 04/16/2009

    Debug.println("[readTokens] node = " + this.node.name + " (pin: " + pin.name + ")");

    PinActivation pinActivation = this.getPinActivation(pin);

    TokenList tokens = pinActivation.getTokens();

    ValueList values = new ValueList();

    for (int i = 0; i < tokens.size(); i++) {

    Token token = tokens.getValue;

    Value value = ((ObjectToken) token).value;

    if (value != null)

    { values.addValue(value); }

    }

    return values;

    }

    b) With the above operation, LinkActionActivation.endMatchesEndData() can be fixed as follows:

    public boolean endMatchesEndData(fUML.Semantics.Classes.Kernel.Link link,

    fUML.Syntax.Actions.IntermediateActions.LinkEndData endData) {

    // Test whether the appropriate end of the given link matches the given

    // end data.

    boolean matches = false;

    if (endData.value == null)

    { matches = true; }

    else {

    Property end = endData.end;

    FeatureValue linkFeatureValue = link.getFeatureValue(end);

    Value endValue = this.readTokens(endData.value).getValue(0);

    if (endData instanceof LinkEndDestructionData) {

    if (!((LinkEndDestructionData) endData).isDestroyDuplicates

    & !end.multiplicityElement.isUnique & end.multiplicityElement.isOrdered)

    { int destroyAt = ((UnlimitedNaturalValue) (this .readTokens(((LinkEndDestructionData) endData).destroyAt).getValue(0))).value.naturalValue; matches = linkFeatureValue.values.getValue(0).equals(endValue) && linkFeatureValue.position == destroyAt; }

    else

    { matches = linkFeatureValue.values.getValue(0).equals(endValue); }

    } else

    { matches = linkFeatureValue.values.getValue(0).equals(endValue); }

    }

    return matches;

    }

    c) All other actions/activity behaviors which directly or indirectly invoked LinkActionActivation.endMatchesEndData() need to be reviewed to make sure that the tokens will be consumed. There are only 3 cases to consider:

    fUML.Semantics.Actions.IntermediateActions.CreateLinkActionActivation.doAction()

    fUML.Semantics.Actions.IntermediateActions.DestroyLinkActionActivation.doAction()

    fUML.Semantics.Actions.IntermediateActions.ReadLinkActionActivation.doAction()

    CreateLinkActionActivation.doAction() already consumes the tokens when creating the new link instance.

    DestroyLinkActionActivation.doAction() needs extra logic to delete the tokens from the input pins after determining the matching links to destroy, if any. This requires modifying this operation as follows:

    public void doAction() {

    // Get the extent, at the current execution locus, of the association

    // for which links are being destroyed.

    // Destroy all links that match the given link end destruction data.

    // For unique ends, or non-unique ends for which isDestroyDuplicates is

    // true, match links with a matching value for that end.

    // For non-unique, ordered ends for which isDestroyDuplicates is false,

    // match links with an end value at the given destroyAt position. [Must

    // a value be given, too, in this case?]

    // For non-unique, non-ordered ends for which isDestroyDuplicates is

    // false, pick one matching link (if any) non-deterministically. [The

    // semantics of this case is not clear from the current spec.]

    DestroyLinkAction action = (DestroyLinkAction) (this.node);

    LinkEndDestructionDataList destructionDataList = action.endData;

    boolean destroyOnlyOne = false;

    int j = 1;

    while (!destroyOnlyOne & j <= destructionDataList.size())

    { LinkEndDestructionData endData = destructionDataList.getValue(j - 1); destroyOnlyOne = !endData.end.multiplicityElement.isUnique & !endData.end.multiplicityElement.isOrdered & !endData.isDestroyDuplicates; j = j + 1; }

    LinkEndDataList endDataList = new LinkEndDataList();

    for (int i = 0; i < destructionDataList.size(); i++)

    { LinkEndDestructionData endData = destructionDataList.getValue(i); endDataList.addValue(endData); }

    ExtensionalValueList extent = this.getExecutionLocus().getExtent(this.getAssociation());

    ExtensionalValueList matchingLinks = new ExtensionalValueList();

    for (int i = 0; i < extent.size(); i++) {

    ExtensionalValue value = extent.getValue;

    Link link = (Link) value;

    if (this.linkMatchesEndData(link, endDataList))

    { matchingLinks.addValue(link); }

    }

    /*

    • NFR 04/16/2009
    • Now that we know which matching links to destroy,
    • we need to ensure all of the tokens on the input pins
    • of this action are consumed.

    */

    for (int i = 0; i < destructionDataList.size(); i++) {

    LinkEndDestructionData endData = destructionDataList.getValue;

    Property end = endData.end;

    if (!endData.isDestroyDuplicates

    & !end.multiplicityElement.isUnique & end.multiplicityElement.isOrdered)

    { this.getTokens(endData.destroyAt); }

    this.getTokens(endData.value);

    }

    if (destroyOnlyOne) {

    // *** If there is more than one matching link,

    // non-deterministically choose one. ***

    if (matchingLinks.size() > 0)

    { int i = ((ChoiceStrategy) this.getExecutionLocus().factory.getStrategy("choice")) .choose(matchingLinks.size()); matchingLinks.getValue(i - 1).destroy(); }

    } else {

    for (int i = 0; i < matchingLinks.size(); i++)

    { ExtensionalValue matchingLink = matchingLinks.getValue(i); matchingLink.destroy(); }

    }

    }

    ReadLinkActionActivation.doAction() needs extra logic to consume the tokens after matching the data against all of the links in the extension.

    public void doAction() {

    // Get the extent, at the current execution locus, of the association to

    // which the action applies.

    // For all links that match the link end data, place the value of the

    // remaining "open" end on the result pin.

    LinkEndData openEnd = null;

    int i = 1;

    while ((openEnd == null) & i <= endDataList.size()) {

    ExtensionalValue value = extent.getValue(j);

    Link link = (Link) value;

    if (this.linkMatchesEndData(link, endDataList))

    { Value resultValue = link.getFeatureValue(openEnd.end).values.getValue(0); this.putToken(action.result, resultValue); }

    }

    /*

    • Now that we have checked all links for possible matches,
    • we have to consume the tokens on the input pins corresponding to the non-open link ends.

    for (int k=0; k<endDataList.size(); k++) {

  • Reported: FUML 1.0b1 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Part of the problem is that the name for ActionActivation::getTokens is inconsistent with the names of other operations in the execution model, where “get” is used for operations that do not consume tokens while “take” is used for operations that do. Therefore, it makes sense to change the name of the current “getTokens” operation to “takeTokens” and use the name “getTokens” for the new operation (rather than “readTokens”, as proposed). Also, to be consistent with the resolution to issue 13310, the new operation should call pinActivation.getUnofferedTokens(), rather than pinActivation.getTokens().
    Other than this, the rest of the proposed resolution is accepted.

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Mr. Ed Seidewitz)
  • Summary:

    When an activity execution is terminated (e.g., by an activity final node), tokens are cleared from all object nodes (see the ObjectNode::terminate operation). However, this means that output activity parameter nodes (which are object nodes) get their tokens cleared. As a result, the tokens meant to be placed on the output parameters of the activity are lost.

    The ActivityParameterNodeActivation class should override the terminate operation and, if for an output activity parameter node, not clear the tokens in the node.

    The ObjectNode::terminate operation uses the clearToken operation to clear the tokens from the node activation. However, ActivityParameterNodeActivation already overrides this operation to only clear tokens if the node is an input parameter node. So no change is needed.

  • Reported: FUML 1.0b1 — Fri, 6 Feb 2009 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    The proposed resolution will only work at conformance level 3 (L3). That is because it references classes that are not available at lower conformance levels.
    Accommodating all three conformance levels requires having a different instantiateVistor implementation for each level. This can be achieved by making ExecutionFactory abstract and added three concrete subclasses, one for each conformance level, each of which appropriately overrides instantiateVisitor. Then an execution environment can be set up for the appropriate conformance level by using an instance of the correct ExecutionFactory subclass for that level.

    this.activationGroup.terminateAll();

    this.bodyOutputLists.clear();

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NASA ( Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette)
  • Summary:

    Specification: Semantics of a Foundation Subset for Executable UML Models, FTF – Beta 1 (ptc/08-11-03)

    Section: 7.4.2.2.14 (ObjectFlow)

    Summary:

    As shown in Fig. 12.14 of the UML 2.2 Beta1 specification, an ObjectFlow can have two optional behaviors,

    a transformation and a selection. No such behaviors are supported in the fUML subset.

    Proposed resolution:

    Add a second OCL constraint on ObjectFlow:

    [2] ObjectFlow::no_transformation_or_selection_behavior()

    – An ObjectFlow cannot have a transformation or a selection behavior in the fUML subset.

    self.transformation->isEmpty() and self.selection->isEmpty()

  • Reported: FUML 1.0b1 — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    The transformation and selection properties of ObjectFlow are only introduced at the level of CompleteActivities. And, per Subclause 7.4.1 of the fUML spec, “The UML 2 Superstructure package CompleteActivities is excluded in its entirety from fUML”. Since transformation and selection are association ends, their associations simply do not appear in the fUML subset, so no constraints are necessary.

    Of course, the isMulticase and isMultireceive attributes on ObjectFlow are also only in CompleteActivities, but they still appear in the fUML subset (with constraints). However, these and other similar attributes should actually be removed from the fUML subset abstract syntax (see Issue 14561).

    None.

    Summary:

    The fUML execution engine in clause 8 and the fUML reference implementation [1] are both written according to the Java => bUML mapping specified in appendix A of the fUML specification.

    {isReplaceAll=false}

    .

    This creates a problem in several places where fUML class attributes are defined to be unique; in particular:

    7.4.2.2.2 ActivityEdge::source

    7.4.2.2.4 ActivityNode::outgoing {unique}

    The fUML reference implementation [1] loads an fUML model by CMOF reflection.

    This means that it processes each activity edge in three parts:

    1. The activity node at the source of the edge

    2. The activity node at the target of the edge

    3. The edge itself

    #1 and #3 lead to a duplication of the same edge on the outgoing list of the source node.

    #2 and #3 lead to a duplication of the same edge on the incoming list of the target node.

    [1] http://portal.modeldriven.org/content/foundational-uml-reference-implementation

    Proposed resolution:

    The fUML specification should update the Java => bUML mapping to account for the different kinds of containers used for fUML.

    The fUML reference implementation should be updated according to the revised Java => bUML mapping for collections.

    A workaround to this issue for the reference implementation in [1] involves modifying fUML.Syntax.Activities.IntermediateActivities.ActivityEdge as follows:

    public void setTarget(fUML.Syntax.Activities.IntermediateActivities.ActivityNode target) {

    this.target = target;

    /**

    • NFR 04/15/2009
    • Because the reference implementation "constructs" the fUML.Syntax model by reflection from the XMI,
    • it turns out that activity edges get a duplication of their source pins because:
    • - once by reflection when creating the ActivityNode whose .incoming edges includes this instance.
    • - a second time this ActivityEdge is constructed by reflection.

    */

    if (!target.incoming.contains(this))

    { target.incoming.addValue(this); }

    else

    { Debug.println("ActivityEdge[" + this.name + "].setTarget(target) this edge is already included in the incoming edge list for target: " + target.getClass().getCanonicalName()+"[" + target.name + "]"); }

    }

    public void setSource(fUML.Syntax.Activities.IntermediateActivities.ActivityNode source) {

    this.source = source;

    /**

    • NFR 04/15/2009
    • Because the reference implementation "constructs" the fUML.Syntax model by reflection from the XMI,
    • it turns out that activity edges get a duplication of their source pins because:
    • - once by reflection when creating the ActivityNode whose .outgoing edges includes this instance.
    • - a second time this ActivityEdge is constructed by reflection.

    */

    if (! source.outgoing.contains(this))

    { source.outgoing.addValue(this); }

    else

    { Debug.println("ActivityEdge[" + this.name + "].setSource(target) this edge is already included in the outgoing edge list for target: " + source.getClass().getCanonicalName()+"[" + source.name + "]"); }

    }

  • Disposition: Resolved — FUML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    This issue seems to be a problem with a specific implementation of fUML, not with the fUML specification itself. The uniqueness of association ends is essentially a constraint that there are no duplicate values on that end. fUML only gives semantics to syntactically valide models for which all well-formedness constraints are satisfied, including implicit constraints like multiplicity and uniqueness, as well as constraints given explicitly in OCL. Any implementation that violates syntactic constraints when loading a model is simply an incorrect implementation. It is not necessary to further complicate the fUML semantic specification or the Java=>bUML mapping to account for this.
    Revised Text: None
