AD Difference between Call Behavior and composite

Hi all

What is the difference between a "Call Behavior" and a "composite" (in an activity diagram) ?

Thank you for your help

To create a sub-diagram by using 'Make Composite',
the pitchforks (rakes) will not be shown in the action classifer automatically.
You have to set the 'kind' property to 'CallBehavior' in 'Advanced -> Custom Properties' in order to show the pitchfork.

In many UML tools, the normal way to create a 'call behavior' action is:
  step 1. create an action, and a dialog will be poped up
  step 2. select 'call behavior' option, and then click ok

EA's interface also works like this, but there are some differences with other tools.
If I set a behavior classifer to an action,
the format of action name will be shown as 'ActionName : ClassfierName'.
This format is different to many UML books and other UML tools,
and I cannot find a way to hide the suffix ': ClassiferName'.

The alternative way to only show 'ActionName' is to create a 'call behavior' action and then select its behavior classifier to 'none'.
Although the behavior classifer is set to 'none',
the picthfork is still shown because its 'kind' property is still 'CallBehavior'.
Finally, I create a sub-diagram by 'Make Composite' with the same name.

Exactly, it's not a regular way to create a 'call behavior' action.
But I really cannot find a way to hide the suffix ': ClassfierName' in the name of action.
