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:

    • 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.

    • get_connectorOfType

      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.

      Returns the value of the 'clear Association Action Of Association' reference list. The list contents are of type ClearAssociationAction. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Association'.

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

      Returns:
      the value of the 'clear Association Action Of Association' reference list.
