Re: sequence diagram for observer pattern

well the above SD does solve the problem..but what if i need to
represent some messages being passed among individual observers...then
just clubbing the observers as a single object will not be able to
represent that...can we have individual as well as broadcast messages
to be represented using the above representation ??

If you are not generating code then the sequence diagrams are not compiled. No compiler is going to issue an error message. Therefore you may draw anything that makes sense to you and to your readers.

If you are generating code, then you need a language with a much more formal syntax than UML.
