* We specify the
Implementation Bundle
property here as we reference a
Custom Figure
for
our
Message Flow
source decorator. This allows the generated code to include the proper plug-in
dependency while we develop the diagram. When the standalone figures plug-in is generated, this value
automatically is entered into the generated
mirrored.gmfgraph
model, and we separate our custom
code into its own project source path.
Note the
Diagram Label
and associated
Label
figure. This label is generic
for all external labeling needs, such as that used by the
Normal Flow
connec-
tions in the mapping model. This represents another form of reuse because this
single external label is used for connections and our
Data Object
node, as
shown in the next section.
Data Object
A Data Object in BPMN refers to an artifact that can be associated with a flow
object using an Association link or can be passed with a sequence flow. The nota-
tion is a simple document and uses the traditional dog-ear corner. Figure 4-32
shows an example of the Data Object being used in both directed and nondi-
rected associations; Table 4-25 gives its figure and node definition.
