Component State

[Modesto Vega]

I know the state of an interface or a class can be modelled using UML state diagrams. But, does anybody know if any modelling language or framework supports doing the same with a component - i.e., a modular part of a system that encapsulates its contents?

mmmmmyes afaik in UML 2.5 a component is just a class.  Whatever a class can do, a component can.
But I dont' know about Sparx implementation, never tried it (but I have used component objects as participants in sequence diagrams)

Thanks Richard, I did not have time to check the specification. I will try and update the thread with the results.
