Class UML 2.4.1::Interaction

Description:

An interaction is a unit of behavior that focuses on the observable exchange of information between connectable elements.

Direct Superclasses: Behavior, InteractionFragment

Direct Subclasses:

Class Precedence List: Interaction, Behavior, Class, EncapsulatedClassifier, StructuredClassifier, BehavioredClassifier, Classifier, Namespace, Type, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, RedefinableElement, TemplateableElement, InteractionFragment, NamedElement, Element

Properties:

action : Action (0 *); -- source Interaction
formalGate : Gate (0 *); -- source Interaction
fragment : InteractionFragment (0 *); -- source Interaction
lifeline : Lifeline (0 *); -- source Interaction
message : Message (0 *); -- source Interaction
context : BehavioredClassifier (0 1); -- source Behavior

The classifier that is the context for the execution of the behavior. If the behavior is owned by a BehavioredClassifier, that classifier is the context. Otherwise, the context is the first BehavioredClassifier reached by following the chain of owner relationships. For example, following this algorithm, the context of an entry action in a state machine is the classifier that owns the state machine. The features of the context classifier as well as the elements visible to the context classifier are visible to the behavior.

package : Package (0 1); -- source Type
visibility : VisibilityKind (1 1); -- source PackageableElement
owningTemplateParameter : TemplateParameter (0 1); -- source ParameterableElement
isLeaf : Boolean (1 1); -- source RedefinableElement

Indicates whether it is possible to further redefine a RedefinableElement. If the value is true, then it is not possible to further redefine the RedefinableElement. Note that this property is preserved through package merge operations; that is, the capability to redefine a RedefinableElement (i.e., isLeaf=false) must be preserved in the resulting RedefinableElement of a package merge operation where a RedefinableElement with isLeaf=false is merged with a matching RedefinableElement with isLeaf=true: the resulting RedefinableElement will have isLeaf=false. Default value is false.
Default value: FALSE

templateBinding : TemplateBinding (0 *); -- source TemplateableElement

The optional bindings from this element to templates.
