Creating messages in communication diagrams
In communication diagrams, you can create messages to represent
the communication that occurs between participants in interactions.
You can add, delete, reposition, and assign new signatures to messages
in an interaction frame.
Before you begin
Procedure
Results
As the following figure illustrates, the message is displayed as an arrow on the message pathway, with an arrowhead that indicates the direction of the message: forward or reverse. The forward portion of the message points in the direction that you created the message pathway. The message label shows the sequence number and the message name.
What to do next
Note: By default, when you create a message on a message
pathway, both the synchronous call and the return message are added.
To change this, clear the Automatically create return message check
box in the Preferences dialog box.
