Problem adding event/trigger description to state machine transition [message #488475]

Hi,

I am trying to use the state machine diagram in uml2tools, and run into a few problems. I can succesfully add a state machine to the diagram, and within it simple states and transitions between the states.

However, I have not succeeded in adding a name to the 'initial' state. Also I have not been able to add an event, trigger or other name to a transition.

Could anybody explain to me how I can add these types of labels in this diagram?

Thanks in advance,

regards, Geert-Jan.

Also, when adding a name to the transition (which is not that important usually), the name does not appear in the diagram but only in the properties view.

I hope someone from the UML2 tools team can comment on the above; is it a bug or when are triggers/effects/guards expected to be supported for statemachines.

Thanks,
Shahar

Hi,

On a different posting here, someone mentioned that according to the UML specification, transition names are not allowed in the diagrams.

But I don't know if this is true or not, but this is apparently why the transition name is not displayed in the diagrams.

Hi,

Just to repeat and reinforce the problem in question, as I cannot see a reply to the original post from a month ago:

I also cannot find the way to add trigger/effect/guard to a statemachine transition in the diagram. I consider this a critical problem: without triggers/effects/guards statemachines are rather useless... :(

Also, when adding a name to the transition (which is not that important usually), the name does not appear in the diagram but only in the properties view.

I hope someone from the UML2 tools team can comment on the above; is it a bug or when are triggers/effects/guards expected to be supported for statemachines.

Thanks,
Shahar
