Many tools show an ExecutionSpecification covering the whole lifeline for an active Class. You can make the class an active class.Īn active object is an object that, as a direct consequence of its creation, commences to execute its classifierBehavior It should not be a self message, since this is not what is happening in reality and is therefore a workaround. The sender of this message is the same Lifeline that created the new object. You will need to call the constructor explicitly. That means, you cannot reference a constructor in the create message. The signature must either refer an Operation (in which case messageSort is either synchCall or asynchCall or reply) or a Signal (in which case messageSort is asynchSignal).

I know, this is about Actions, but why should a create message be different? Also, there is a constraint that stops create messages from having a signature: Given Classifier and places the new instance on its result OutputPin. UML: A CreateObjectAction is an Action that creates a direct instance of a messageSort=createMessage) does not call the constructor: If we accept that the tool wants to start an ExecutionSpecification with a Message, the behavior of Star UML is consistent. Sequence diagrams don’t mean, that this is the only possible sequence. The problem is that sequence diagrams are not about causality, but about possibly occurring sequences of events. I can see, where they come from, since every execution has a cause. However, many tool vendors seem to assume, that an ExecutionSpecification must be started by a message. According to UML it should be possible to define ExecutionSpecifications (aka activations) independent of any Messages.

If you need a complete reverse engineering feature, please check other professional reverse engineering tools. ⚠️ This extensions do not provide perfect reverse engineering which is a test and temporal feature.
STAR UML INSTALL
Install this extension from Extension Manager of StarUML.

This extension for StarUML( ) support to generate C++ code from UML model and to reverse C++ code to UML model.
