Use of Self in Participant attribute of Standalone Associations

To continue the discussion I started during the conference
call on the occurrence of the Self element as a child element of the Participant
property in a standalone association (an association class in UML),  this
is what the UML diagram would like if “Self” where an element in
the Participant property of AssociationClass and the Participant property of AssociationClass
pointed to itself.

 

 

As I said during the call, I highly doubt if that yields syntactically
correct UML—i.e., the situation in which Self would appear in the
Participant property in this case is not even modelable.

 

I have said what I need to, and I “accept” the “solution”
as proposed.
