Abstract Class UML 2.3::InvocationAction

Description:

In addition to targeting an object, invocation actions can also invoke behavioral features on ports from where the invocation requests are routed onwards on links deriving from attached connectors. Invocation actions may also be sent to a target via a given port, either on the sending object or on another object.

Direct Superclasses: Action

Direct Subclasses: SendSignalAction, SendObjectAction, CallAction, BroadcastSignalAction

Class Precedence List: InvocationAction, Action, ExecutableNode, ActivityNode, RedefinableElement, NamedElement, Element

Properties:

argument : InputPin (0 *); -- source InvocationAction
onPort : Port (0 1); -- source InvocationAction
context : Classifier (0 1); -- source Action
input : InputPin (0 *); -- source Action
isLocallyReentrant : Boolean (1 1); -- source Action
localPostcondition : Constraint (0 *); -- source Action
localPrecondition : Constraint (0 *); -- source Action
output : OutputPin (0 *); -- source Action

The ordered set of output pins connected to the Action. The action places its results onto pins in this set.

inInterruptibleRegion : InterruptibleActivityRegion (0 *); -- source ActivityNode
inPartition : ActivityPartition (0 *); -- source ActivityNode

Partitions containing the node.
Subsets: ActivityNode.inGroup
Opposite: ActivityPartition.node

inStructuredNode : StructuredActivityNode (0 1); -- source ActivityNode
incoming : ActivityEdge (0 *); -- source ActivityNode

Edges that have the node as target.
Opposite: ActivityEdge.target

outgoing : ActivityEdge (0 *); -- source ActivityNode
redefinedNode : ActivityNode (0 *); -- source ActivityNode

Inherited nodes replaced by this node in a specialization of the activity.

Constraints:

Signature: on_port_receiver() : Boolean;
Description: The onPort must be a port on the receiver object.
Expression: true

Operations:

No additional operations.
