Named entry/exit equivalent in UML #3213

Closed z3rone closed 3 years ago

z3rone commented 3 years ago

In section 10.3.6.1.2 Named entry points it states "Named entry points have no equivalent in the UML."

However, I would argue that a state machine entryPoint in a region (UML section 14.2.3.7), and the "bracketed space notation" (UML section 14.2.4.7) for referencing such entryPoint causes equivalent behavior. The same applies to exitPoints.

I must correct myself, as entry points and exit points are only defined for submachines and not for composite states by UML
