Sequence diag : show param & argument on msg

[Guillaume]

Hi

I need to show on a sequence diagram both the Parameters and Values in a message sent, by invoking an operation

Currently I have  :
SetName (name : String, firstname : String) if the Arguments field is empty.
SetName (Martin, Bob) if the Params & Arguments fields are not empty.

Is there a way to show on the message :
SetName (name : String = Martin, firstname : String = Bob)  ?

thanks

No I don't think that is possible, but I could be wrong.

I use to atach a NOTE on the sequence message to describe parameters values.

Ok thanks for your answers - the notes seems to be a good option for the values.

If I need to specify the parameters name and type of an operation on each message, here is what I currently do :
- if the operation exists in the lifelines's classifier, the Message properties are automatically populated as follows (once the operation has been selected) :
  * Message = test(String, String), and Parameters = firstname, lastname
- if my lifeline has no such operation defined, I currently set Message = SetName, and Parameters = firstname :String, lastname :String

Although it displays fine on the diagram, is it the right way to do it?
Would it be possible to have a feature to copy this operation to the lifeline's classifier, if one has been set?

Thanks
