Description Henrik Rentz-Reichert 2012-02-07 09:48:54 EST

A new modeling element is proposed, the CompositeProtocolClass:

CompositeProtocolClass: 'CompositeProtocolClass' '{'
    (protocolRefs+=ProtocolRef)*
'}';

ProtocolRef: 'ProtocolRef' name=ID protocol=[ProtocolClass|FQN]

A Composite Protocol is just the union of the referenced protocols, i.e. all incoming messages and all outgoing ones.

A port of a Composite Protocol can be connected multiply where the peer ports match the protocols referenced by the composite.
In this role the Composite Protocol port works as a multiplexer/demultiplexer.
The demultiplexing is controlled by binding names (to be introduced) matching the reference names in the Composite Protocol.
