Reply Message (Value)
Reply Message (Value)  
A reply message (value) is a visual synonym of a reply message. It adds no additional semantics; it is simply an example of the reply message adapted for use on a timing diagram. This usage of the reply message has the same form as a reply message used on other interaction diagrams: a dashed line with an open arrowhead directed from one execution occurrence to another (possibly reflexive). It is listed separately because the message ends give it a different appearance from other examples. The reply represents an explicit representation of a return from a synchronous message. There is a single form of presentation in the three different types of interaction diagrams and the two different presentations of the timing diagram.
