  ****************************************************************
  In certain coding scenarios involving chained method calls
  (such as x().y().z()) the visualization of the containing
  method into a static method sequence diagram results in
  incorrect messages and sequence.
  

Problem conclusion

• In Rational Application Developer and Rational Software
  Architect version 7.5.5.5 the visualization of a Java method
  into a static method sequence diagram will now shows
  messages consistently and correctly for code blocks
  involving chained method calls.
