Hi All,
One quick question....
I'm creating an interaction, which has a paremeter, say : x, which is an
integer.
I want one of the messages in the interaction to receive this parameter as
an argument.
In fact, in the UML super structure spec, they say:
Arguments of a Message must only be:
i) attributes of the sending lifeline.
ii) constants.
iii) symbolic values (which are wildcard values representing any legal
value).
iv)>>>>>> explicit parameters of the enclosing Interaction. <<<<<<<<
v) attributes of the class owning the Interaction.
However, the type of 'argument' (in the Message element) is
'ValueSpecification', so I can't directly reference the parameter of the
enclosing interaction... Am I right? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

The UML specification doesn't provide a standard way of correlating message
arguments to an enclosing interaction's parameters, other than the fact that
the types must match. Of course, if the argument is an expression, I suppose
you could referece the parameter by name...
