extends Classifier, Relationship

A representation of the model object 'Association'.

A link is a tuple of values that refer to typed objects. An Association classifies a set of links, each of which is an instance of the Association. Each value in the link refers to an instance of the type of the corresponding end of the Association.

The following features are supported:

• Derived
• Member End
• connector Of Type
• Owned End
• Navigable Owned End
• clear Association Action Of Association
• End Type

Method Detail

isDerived

boolean isDerived()

Returns the value of the 'Derived' attribute. The default value is "false". Specifies whether the Association is derived from other model elements such as other Associations.

Returns:

the value of the 'Derived' attribute.

Model:

default="false" dataType="com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.Boolean" required="true" ordered="false"

Generated:

setDerived

void setDerived(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Derived' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Derived' attribute.

get_connectorOfType

java.util.Collection<Connector> get_connectorOfType()

Returns the value of the 'connector Of Type' reference list. The list contents are of type Connector. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Type'.

If the meaning of the 'connector Of Type' reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'connector Of Type' reference list.

See Also:
