Represent “while t < time limit” in a UML Activity diagram












1















I am drawing a diagram that represents the following:




  • A user clicks a button on the user interface to edit a post

  • The post status is set to "locked"

  • The user has a time limit to edit the post

  • If the time limit is exceeded then the user cannot save his/her edit

  • Else if the time limit is not exceeded then the user can save his/her edit

  • The post status is set to "unlocked"


The purpose of this example is to establish how to represent "while time limit is not exceeded" in a UML Activity diagram



I have tried to create a UML Activity diagram but it does not seem right.



Could you please suggest how to correctly draw it? Thank you.

    You might use the interrupting edge - uml-diagrams.org/activity-diagrams.html#interrupting-edge to interrupt the editing when the timer exceeds

As @xmojmr commented you would use




15.7.19 InterruptibleActivityRegion [Class]



15.7.19.1 Description



An InterruptibleActivityRegion is an ActivityGroup that supports the termination of tokens flowing in the portions of an activity within it.




enter image description here



The TimerOverrun event can send an exception while Action1 (or any other inside the dashed region) is active which is handled by TimerEvent.
