Lack of features commonly used in OCL

  • Key: OCL231-38
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1790
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The current specification for OCL lacks many of the features we commonly
    use when doing formal specification of class interfaces, e.g. the ability
    to specify the frame condition, the ability to specify postconditions
    case-wise, the ability to specify when exceptions are thrown, etc.

    To bring OCL closer to the state of the art, I would like to see these
    considered as future extensions.

  • Reported: UML 1.1 — Mon, 10 Aug 1998 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — OCL 2.3.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    This issue was forked off from UML 1.x 15 years ago. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with OCL at all. But rather than throw the issue back to UML, let's address it anyway.
    One could imagine a UML extension that introduced a Frame class and an Operation.ownedFrameCondition to host it. OCL expressions could then impose the semantics.
    However a Frame would be specific to a particular implementation approach, and so it would seem more appropriate to use stereotypes to model the implementation characteristics. Perhaps one of the standard UML profiles already provides this capability.
    Disposition: Closed, no change

Wording od OCL definition

  • Key: UML14-1044
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2339
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Some minor flaws in the wording of the OCL description within OMG-UML
    version 1.3, Jan. 1999:

      • Section 6.4.4, Type Conformance, page 6-222

    "Each type conforms to its supertype."

    The word "its" implies that there is only one. It would be better if this
    said: "Each type conforms to each of its supertypes."

      • Section 6.4.5, Re-typing or Casting, page 6-223

    "If the actual type of the object is not equal to the type to which
    it is re-typed, the expression is undefined."

Package symbol as a polygon

  • Key: UML14-1042
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2298
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: A package is a grouping of model elements. However, the rectangular shape of the package symbol makes it difficult to group model elements that have fixed geometrical position to each-other. In other words, the rectangular package shape often requires to change geometrical position of the model elements that belong to the group. It is almost impossible to use the rectangular package to show overlapping groups of model elements.

    For example, it is difficult to use the rectangular package symbol to show the objects in a class diagram that belong to a certain thread, or to show the use cases in a use case diagram that belong to a certain group.

Strange GENERAl USE RESTRICTION

  • Key: UML14-956
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2626
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: "The owners of the copyright in the UML specification version 1.2 [sic, in
    1.3alpha5] hereby grant you a [...] license [...] to create and distribute
    software which is based upon the UML specifications [...]

    Software developed under the terms of this license must include a complete
    implementation of the current version of this specification [...]"

    This appears to say that any UML-based CASE tool must implement the whole
    of the standard. Since as far as I"m aware no existing tool, including
    Rational Rose, comes even close to doing this, should not the restriction
    be changed? (I do not suggest that it should be enforced!)

The not-equals operator, "<>",

  • Key: UML14-954
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2572
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The not-equals operator, "<>", seems to be listed for Enumerations, but not for Reals (page 6-27), Integers (p 6-29), Booleans (p 6-31) or Strings (p 6-30), even though it seems to be used in many places elsewhere in the specification.

    All the other operators seem to be there (equality, less than, etc.), so I think this one should be as well (although you can simulate it using "not").

    Note that inequality is defined for OclAny, but then so is equality.

    You could also put parentheses at the top of the table as well, of course, to make that table more complete and stand-alone. Parentheses would then not need to be described in a sentence following the list.

    The type of acc is wrong, and it should read:

(Minor) Activity diagram change recommendation

  • Key: UML14-947
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2546
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: I know it"s late in the game, but in my use of activity diagrams for
    modeling algorithms, a minor change has become apparent. Specifically, it
    is possible to have objects "flow" from one activity state to another, but
    it is not possible to show a persistent object which is modified by some
    activity states and used by others. I therefore recommend the following change:

    Activity states be able to depend on objects with stereotypes for <<use>>
    and <<modify>>. In this case, control flow among the activity states must
    be shown since the "data object" does not flow between activity states but
    exists in an enclosing structural context.

    Summary: resolving the issue of extensibility of OCL (like adding an operation to a
    predefined
    OCL type) I have written a new section in the OCL chapter. It describes
    the
    existence of a default package in each UML model, containing the predefined
    OCL
    types. I have chosen to name this package "UML_OCL" (or StandardOCL, ...).

    Typically, the modeler will define its own OCL package (named e.g. MyOCL),
    import
    the standard OCL package (import UML_OCL) and extend the predefined OCL
    types
    to his/her liking. A like approach is taken in Catalysis.

    Summary: Summary: The action state symbol and the state symbol differ only in the convexity of their vertical sides. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between them, if the diagram is drawn by hand. The symbols have different semantics and both of them can appear in a single diagram (activity diagram). Therefore, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the symbol for the state and the symbol for the action state.

UML Semantics, OMG-UML V1.2 Use Cases July 1998, page 2-99

  • Key: UML14-940
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2292
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: In the current version of UML, use cases must not have associations to other use cases specifying the same entity. Use cases can exchange messages only with actors and not with each-other. UML use cases are always initiated by a signal from the actor.

    However, there are use cases that are initiated by a system if a specific condition is met. Example: in the well-known ATM machine example the use case "dispense cash" is initiated by the system, if the customer request was evaluated as valid. The use case "dispense cash" is not initiated by the (user) actor. In other words, the use case "dispense cash" receives a message or signal from the other use case specifying the same system. Therefore, the association between use cases must exist.

    Solution: Allow associations between use cases specifying the same entity.

Dependencies (and other relationships) with role ends

  • Key: UML14-942
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2294
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Dependency relationship in UML does not have role ends, similar to the association ends that associations have. Therefore, it is not possible to specify, for example, that:

    1. an entity depends on an ordered set of other entities.
    2. an entity depends on a specified number of instances of other entities
    3. the roles of the entities that participate in the dependency. Dependency imply the entity roles "client" and "supplier". However, I often came across situations where I needed to specify more concrete roles than "client" and "supplier". In cases I came across, replacing dependencies by associations was not a convenient solution.

    that whilst there is only one owner that owner may be changed. This means
    that the parts MUST BE separable from the whole. This is a contradiction.

Asynchronous action

  • Key: UML14-918
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2004
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: An asynchronous action is defined as a request where the sending object does not pause to wait for results. Synonym: asynchronous request [OMA].

    1) What results?
    In the OMA v3 (June 13 1995), it is said on p. 78 that
    an asynchronous request has no response (hence no results).
    So, soes "results" means "response", or something else ?

    2) The OMA speaks also of a deferred synchronous request –
    proceed after sending request; claim reply later).
    The synonym used is confusing since the OMA has a concept of
    deferred synchronous request in which the sending object does
    not pause to wait for results (proceed after sending request;
    claim reply later).

    3) In fact, my understanding is that the sending object does not
    even pause to wait for the receiving object to be notified of
    the request. The definition is silent about this.

    Issue: missing role names

    Very few of the association roles have names, which are needed for model
    interchange.
    Here is the convention being considered in XMI for providing those names.
    1) Start with the role name.
    2) If the role name is missing, use the association name
    3) If the association name is missing or a generated name (see xmi6), use the
    class name
    4) If the name is a duplicate, use the Class name appended with a number,
    counting up from 2.

Associations as parts of a composite.

  • Key: UML14-899
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1943
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The notation says that associations may be parts of composites:

    The parts of a composition may include classes and
    associations. The meaning of an association in a composition
    is that any tuple of objects connected by a single link must
    all belong to the same container object. [p62, section 5.26.1
    Notation, UML 1.1, or p65, section 3.42.1 in UML 1.2]

    The above meaning of association as part is not recorded in the
    semantics.

    In any case, the definition prevents associations from having
    parts themselves. When an association has parts, some parts must
    be associations that connect to objects outside the containing
    association. See Bock & Odell in JOOP, Vol 11, No 5, September
    1998, also at:

    Summary: In Section 5.17 of the Notation Guide, the notation for an object is

    ClassifierInState construct from activity modeling as a classifier of
    such an Object, but the well-formedness rule for Object on page 76 of
    the Semantics requires that all classifiers of Objects be Classes.
    A ClassifierInState is a kind of Classifier, but NOT a kind of Class, so
    its use is prevented in the metamodel.

Change events issue

  • Key: UML14-882
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1689
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Change events should be generalizable. For example, a traffic light
    changing to any color is a more general event than a change of that
    traffic light to Red only. If the second event happens, then the
    first must have happened also. A state machine with a trigger event
    on the first event will transition if the second event occurs.

    The semantics document says that an event can trigger transitions which
    have a more general event [p 113, UML 1.1 Semantics].

    Comments:

    This is close to issue # 29, "Events should be generalizable
    elements", which Rumbaugh filed and withdrew. His reasoning is that
    signals are generalizable and event are just pointers to them, so it
    is not necessary for events to be generalizable. In fact, events are
    more than pointers to signals, as shown in the event meta-model
    [figure 18, page 98, of UML 1.1 Semantics]. Events also cover call
    events, time events, and change events.

States of an object not referenceable from OCL expression

  • Key: UML14-880
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1678
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The states of an object, as specified in its state machine, are not
    directly referenceablle from within
    an OCL expression. In many cases it is very useful to be able to use them
    in invariants, and especially
    in pre- and postconditions.
    Currently, we can define a so-called state attribue, which enumerates the
    states, or alternatively we can
    define a boolean attribute for each state. This allows one to reference
    states, but this is specific for
    the chosen implementation of states. This is undesireable. Being able to
    directly refer to the abstract
    states from the state machine is much easier, since it allows specifying
    constraints independent of
    the implementation of states.
    Proposal
    Define an extra standard OCL operation on OclAny called "oclIsInState", or
    "oclInState" which takes a state name as
    a parameter, and results in true if the object is within the specified
    state. This solution adds the
    desired functionality without altering the syntax of OCL.

Protocol state diagrams issue

  • Key: UML14-878
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1663
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: UML still does not develop the meaning and the semantics of protocol state diagrams. Protocol state diagrams are close to be supported by the UML metamodel, which still requires some smooth evolutions.
    In a protocol state diagram, a transition related to an operation expresses that the operation can be invoked under the origin state and the "guard" condition, and that under these preliminary context, the operation invocation will lead to the destination state, under a certain post-condition.
    A protocol state diagram can be entirely transformed into pre and post conditions for the involved methods.
    There is a need to add post-condition to transitions for protocol state diagram.
    Suggestion : add a new aggregation from transition to "Guard", called post.

Changes to figure 15 and description of ClassifierRole on page 82

  • Key: UML14-877
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1651
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Figure 15 on page 81 shows that a ClassifierRole has a single base Classifier.
    However, an Instance may have multiple Classifiers (see Figure 14 on p. 67).
    Indeed, the Notation Guide gives a notation for showing an Object having
    multiple Classes (on p. 46) and maps this notation to an Object within an
    object or class diagram, but to a ClassifierRole on a collaboration diagram.
    To support this notation, and to be consistant with the ability of Instances
    to have multiple Classifiers, a ClassifierRole should be able to have
    multiple base Classifiers.

    This requires a change to the multiplicity of the appropriate association
    in Figure 15 as well as updates to the ClassifierRole description on p. 82
    and the well-formedness rules for ClassifierRile on p. 84. (Actually, I think
    only the words in the WF rules need to change – the current OCL rules will
    accomodate the change in multiplicity of "base".)

Reflexive association in section 5.20.2

  • Key: UML14-871
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1515
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: In section 5.20.1, a "reflexive association" is defined as an association
    from a class to itself. This is consistent with the terminology as
    generally used in the field.

    However, in section 5.20.2, a reflexive association appears to be defined
    as one that has links from an object to to itself.

    This second defintion is not industry standard (including some of the
    amigos work), appears to conflict with 5.20.1 and somewhat misapplied. The contingent existence of an
    object-to-self link should not be changing the characterization of the
    association. A reflexive assocation need not require a reflexive link.

    Package->Classifier->GeneralizableElement

Class "Model" is too prescriptive

  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: "Different Models can be defined for the same modeled system, specifying it from different viewpoints, like a logical model, a design model, a use-case model, etc."

    This statement is too prescriptive in suggesting that the modeled system should be partitioned into a logical model, a use case model, etc. The user may wish to partition the system using some other criteria, for example on functional lines, and may wish to "package" all the views for a particular function or facility within a single package. The partitioning suggested above can be easily obtained by using UML Packages named "Logical Model", "Use-Case Model" etc. Also note that class "Model" adds no attributes or associations to its superclass - it simply suggests a groping concept.

    Hence I recommend complete elimination of class "Model". The modeled system is simply a hierarchy of "Packages".

    Summary: It is not very clear how types of attributes and parameters should be instantiated. For example, consider the following C++ methods:

    void Draw(Window* win);
    void Draw(Window& win);

    In all three cases the name of the parameter is "win". The types are "Window", "Window*" and "Window&" respectively. How can these types be modeled? In the first case I can imagine creating a link between the parameter "win" and the Classifier "Window". But what about the remaining two cases?

    UML 1.0 represented attribute and parameter types by simple uninterpretted strings. This allowed user to specify any complex language expression for types. I would prefer that this mechanism be reintroduced. The current mechanism may be left in place in case users or tools like to specify tighter bindings to Classifier instances.

    Summary: Specifying "Interface" and "Class" as seperate metamodel classes has practical ramifications for UML tools. During analysis/design, a developer may start out by specifying a class, but then decide that it should be an interface. The reverse is also possible. This switching, from Class to Interface, or vice versa, would be very easy if "Interface" is merged into "Class" and the two concepts are distiguished by a stereotype called "interface". This recommendation is also supported by the fact that indeed the notation distinguishes the two concepts by a stereotype called "interface".

    The text on p36 ("Each method implements an operation declared in the class or inherited from an ancestor...the same operation may not be

However this is not enforced by the Classifier constraint [1] on page 29. If this is really what is desired, then the constraint should be self.allFeatures... instead of self.feature...

    approach. The lack of good support for responsibilities (which is not that
    hard - we have done it in OML as an extension of UML - see paper in <<UML>>"98
    Conference proceedings) is a significant drawback to the adoption of UML
    by organizations using any type of responsibility-driven method.

    Summary: 1. Aggregation is poorly defined. It is not clear whether it is meant to be

    and unique connections. I believe it is intended to be invariant but not
    necessarily configurational. Firstly, that definition needs tightening and,
    to me and Jim Odell, being configurational seems to be a prime requirement
    for aggregation. Without it we really have a membership (yet still whole-part)
    relationship.
    Secondly, whatever the definition decided upon, its use in the metamodel must
    be clear and clean. At present, I believe many of the "black diamonds" in the
    metamodel really are not strong aggregations (whichever definition I try
    to use).

    Element a kind of Namespace?" as shown in Figure 6 of semantics document.

Page 98: arrowhead issue

  • Key: UML14-857
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1379
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Page 98 Filled arrowheads, stick arrowheads are dangerously close. For
    instance, Powerpoint only offers the filled and in other situations this
    would double for the stick arrowhead. In other words, too much semantic stress on
    arrowhead shape when many common tools like Powerpoint can"t differentiate.
    [Powerpoint is a simple example. I have watched tool vendors and publishers take
    a diagram like this and replace with their own versions of a black/white;
    open/closed arrowhead and accidentally transform the meaning. Even from
    UML generalization to stick arrowhead for dependency is not that hard -
    I"ve seen it done!]

    But A <<uses>>B is a client-server at instance level also, where

    class/type versus instance applied here so explicitly. (BTW I have been

    raised in OTUG by Bob Martin and others. My answer is in my JOOP
    column of Feb 98. I have constructed an interesting and progressive metamodel

Interfaces and support classes

  • Summary:

    Summary: in UML I"m missing a specified way (e.g. a class stereotype) to
    support the paradigm of "interfaces and support classes". I think it
    would be a convienient way to specify the interfaces which are offered
    by a class like methods and properties:

    ------------------------------

    SomeContainer
    <<implementation Class>>

    ------------------------------

    interface IIndexAccess
    interface IEnumerationAccess
    interface ISomewhatOther

    ------------------------------

    property PropA
    property PropB

    The other thing annoying for me is the definition of aggregation. My
    understanding of aggregation ist that the aggregating object offers
    the interfaces of the aggregated objects as they where it"s own (for
    the outer view). The definition of UML seems to be only a "containing"
    relationship.

    Summary: The Semantics introduces AssociationRole and AssociationEndRole wich inherits from the original Association and AssociationEnd (p81). Unfortunately, the xxxRole have a mandatory xxx as a "base" (multiplicity 1). I believe this is a bug, since it forces you to create an explicit association between the Classifiers, even for a

    {global}

    link, etc. Suggested correction: make the base optional (multiplicity 0,1) for AssociationEndRole with constraint base, local, global, self or parameter; make it optional too for related AssociationRole; leave it as is (mandatory) for ClassifierRole. Make it mandatory through OCL constraints for other AssociationEndRoles and AssociationRoles.

  • Summary:

    Summary: Notation 9.2.4 pg. 106,104: "An internal action string with the name
    "do"
    maps into the invocation of a nested state-machine."
    My understanding is that this means that the state containing the "do"
    action is a SubmachineState with a separated State Diagram, drawn
    elsewhere.
    If this is the case, it should be stated more explicitly in the Notation
    document.

WFR for bound elements missing

  • Summary:

    Summary: Notation 5.12.3 pg. 41. "Note that a bound element is fully specified
    by
    its template, therefore its content may not be extended [...]". This is
    a
    semantic rule that is important enough to be stated in the Semantics
    document (and not in Notation) and it should be a WFR.
    In fact, the contents of a bound element (definable in terms of its
    template with some replacements) is not defined formally at all.

    Moreover, <<local>>, <<parameter>>, <<global>> and <<self>> are not

Package importing transitive

  • Key: UML14-772
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1207
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Package importing is transitive (Semantics/Package pg. 135). But the
    definition of UML uses importing not in a transitive way. For example,
    there
    are defined the following import relationships: AuxiliaryElements --->
    Core,
    Core ---> DataTypes and AuxiliaryElements ---> DataTypes.
    The renamig (aliasing) rule also confilcts with the transitive import:
    a
    module can be imported through multiple paths, therefore the model
    elements
    from a module can be imported repeatedly, possibly under different
    names.
