Hello, one more question on this: What UML features are exactly the critical ones that an UML modelling tool has to have to support bpm4struts? Thanks Stefan |

for all features we have workarounds except for these ones: 1. tagged values on use-cases, classes, parameters 2. triggers on transitions 3. parameters on triggers 4. signal event triggers deferring calls to classes -- Wouter ste...@op... wrote: >Hello, > >one more question on this: What UML features are exactly the critical ones >that an UML modelling tool has to have to support bpm4struts? > >Thanks >Stefan > > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
