What is the difference of these two messages? I searched the web a bit and most what I could find is A self message is a message that an object sends to itself. It is a message that represents the invocation of message of the same lifeline. A self message can represent a recursive call of an operation, or one method calling another method belonging to the same object. What is the benefit of additional activation bar that recursive message brings? In graphical notation: non recursive self message: recursive self message what is the difference? You should use a self message when you are calling
