Hi,
the UML statemachine diagrams currently never show guards' names, only
their OCL expressions. The corresponding chapter// "15.3.14 Transition"
in the UML superstructure specifies a transition's notation like this:
/Notation
The default notation for a transition is defined by the following
BNF expression:
/
/<transition> ::= [<trigger> [‘,’ <trigger>]* [‘[‘
*<guard-constraint>*’]’] [‘/’ <behavior-expression>]]"/
Where "<guard-constraint>" is a non-terminal and refers to the guard's
constraint, which is of type Constraint. For the latter, the notation is
defined in chapter "7.3.10 Constraint (from Kernel)":
/Notation/
/A Constraint is shown as a text string in braces ({}) according to
the following BNF:
// //*<constraint>* ::= ‘{‘ [ <name> ‘:’ ] <Boolean-expression> ‘ }’
/
So it seems that the UML spec mandates displaying of guards' names.
I tried to point this out in this topcased bug
<http://gforge.enseeiht.fr/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109&aid=2196&group_id=52>
(and also provided a CVS patch), but I haven't received any answer yet
for quite some time now. Maybe somebody with commit rights for the UML
editor could please comment on this issue?
Regards + thanks,
Jörg
