Class UML 2.4.1::Actor

Description:

An actor specifies a role played by a user or any other system that interacts with the subject.

Direct Superclasses: BehavioredClassifier

Direct Subclasses:

Class Precedence List: Actor, BehavioredClassifier, Classifier, Namespace, Type, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, RedefinableElement, NamedElement, TemplateableElement, Element

Properties:

classifierBehavior : Behavior (0 1); -- source BehavioredClassifier
interfaceRealization : InterfaceRealization (0 *); -- source BehavioredClassifier
ownedBehavior : Behavior (0 *); -- source BehavioredClassifier
attribute : Property (0 *); -- source Classifier
collaborationUse : CollaborationUse (0 *); -- source Classifier
feature : Feature (0 *); -- source Classifier

Specifies each feature defined in the classifier. Note that there may be members of the Classifier that are of the type Feature but are not included in this association, e.g. inherited features.

Constraints:

Signature: must_have_name() : Boolean;
Description: An actor must have a name.
Expression: name->notEmpty()

Signature: associations() : Boolean;
Description: An actor can only have associations to use cases, components and classes. Furthermore these associations must be binary.
The OCL used here is not normative.
Editor's notes: Actor.ownedAttribute is not defined.
Expression: true
Original: self.ownedAttribute->forAll ( a | (a.association->notEmpty()) implies ((a.association.memberEnd.size() = 2) and (a.opposite.class.oclIsKindOf(UseCase) or (a.opposite.class.oclIsKindOf(Class) and not a.opposite.class.oclIsKindOf(Behavior))))

Operations:

No additional operations.
