ML 2 Foundation concepts for activity diagrams, there are eight object nodes in total. Here's a
breakdown of the elements:
Object Nodes:
Order:Â This rectangle near the start of the diagram represents an object node.
Cust Name:Â This rectangle following the "Get Customer Details" action is another object node.
Order Details:Â This rectangle after the "Get Order Details" action is an object node as well.
New Order:Â The rectangle positioned after the decision diamond (approved) is an object node.
Repeat (text near the decision diamond): This is not an object node. It likely indicates a loopback or
repetition, but it doesn't represent an object itself.
Cust Order:Â The rectangle after the "Place Order" action is an object node.
Invoice:Â The rectangle following the "Create Invoice" action is an object node.
OrderAck:Â The rectangle at the end signifies another object node.
Counting the Nodes:
There are eight rectangles that represent object nodes in the diagram (Order, Cust Name, Order
Details, New Order, Cust Order, Invoice, OrderAck).
