In example design model, on Seq diagrams...
« on: May 06, 2004, 08:11:11 am »
Hi,

In the sequece diagram named "Select Recipient" under sample "Design Models", the messages "getContact(), insertReceipient(contact)" are grouped in a box and named "{selected contacts}".

what does this mean?

Its an iteration, the message pair is generated for each selected contatc.

But, iteration property is associated with the message (see a message's properties) and it creates a * symbol in the diagram!

It shows that the entire group iterates not a single message.

Hi,

I figured. It is just a Boundary Element. Not part of UML.

FYI
