Multiple inputs on a provided interface
« on: October 23, 2007, 05:04:04 am »
How does one represent several components using a single provided interface on another component? Just multiple arrows to the ball?

Yes, that's how we normally do it...

If you look at the [size=13]UML 2.1.1 Superstructure (formal)[/size] Specification, you'll see you should also be able to do it via Assemblies, but EA doesn't yet support this.

HTH,

At least it is possible in a limited way. You can create Figure 8.17  but not 8.18

The conspiracy theorist in my notes that these figure numbers correspond to the current and next EA build numbers. That is, the diagram we don't need can be created with the current build, but the diagram we do need requires the future, non-existent, build.

Life goes on...

Hope that's not the rule as there are a lot of figures following and I guess we can't wait for the according EA release.
