(responding to Eric Tarkington)
When using Rational Rose it is certainly no good idea to use Activity
Diagrams for this, since your activities cannot be resolved to operations on
a class.
In the sequence diagram, however, this is one of the big features. It makes
your behavioural diagrams verifiable with the static class model.

Subject: Re: (ROSE) Documenting alternate flows in a Sequence Diagram




Q: What is the best way to climb down off an elephant?
A: Don't climb down off an elephant; climb down off a duck.
Why?  Because it's so much easier.  (idea by Larry Niven)

Don't document alternate and subflows of a Use Case in a Sequence
Diagram; use an activity diagram.
