Hi Communiy,
I have some questions in the area of Action Semantics in UML:
They are already a lot of Action Languages like ASL, BridgePoint Object Action Language, SMALL, TALL, OCL-based, etc. Remember that Action Semantics in UML is only metamodel, so no notation and no concrete syntax...
1. Is there any plan of AndroMDA to support one of the Action Language (and of course the translation into Java, just like the other translation libraries for OCL, Hibernate, etc...)? How complex is that to build a translation library for an action language?
2. How can I insert an action into a method in such UML tool like Poseidon? Do I only have to insert it into "Tagged Values"? Is there any other way?
3. What does the community think? Is it better for implementing actions to use some kind of Action Languages like above (independent, better suited, etc.)? Or maybe we should just use Java (or a small subset of Java, easy to use, you already know it)? IBM Rational Rapid Developer uses Java directly in the model as an Action Language implementation (the method implementation in a class is saved within the class model as metadata).
Thanks a lot! -- --------------------------------------------------- Blasius Lofi Dewanto --------------------------------------------------- OpenUSS - Open University Support System http://openuss.sourceforge.net --------------------------------------------------- E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 39343280 ---------------------------------------------------
