4. Creating at least one ‘token’ to pass through process
You must create one or more ‘tokens’ that will pass through the Business Process Flow diagram. With BPMN Business Process diagrams, you use a UML Object definition as this token. An Object is an instance of a Class. To create an Object, you must also specify the Class that it is instantiating, and the Package that it belongs to.
Create an Object named Reservation – in the Tutorial encyclopedia, the object Reservation is already in the repository – we will use the one from the package Reservation_System, an instance of the class Reservation. To view this object, you may select the All Methods tab of the browser, and expand the Definitions list, and then the Object list.
Reservation
Note Although objects will be applied to Events in the BPMN Business Process Flow diagram, they should be created outside of the Event definition. This enables you to specify the Class they instantiate and the Package that they belong to.
