问题
I am about to draw/document for some client-server connection establishing code to better understand it. There are several operations that are done asynchronously in separate threads (connecting threads, data receiving threads, etc).
Should I show them on separate diagrams? I would prefer to have it on a single diagram to grasp overall view but don't know how to represent it on Activity diagram.
回答1:
I'm not sure if there's a correct way of doing this, I developed my own method by testing different strategies until I came up with something that worked for my own mindset.
This is how I do it:
- Threads == Swimlanes
- Thread Operations == Action/Activity nodes
- Critical sections == Object nodes
- Thread creation == Fork nodes
An example image below.

Instead of using full arrowheads you can use half arrowheads to show an asynchronous message call. As shown
