Class attribute multiplicity property in class diagram designer [message #723889] Fri, 09 September 2011 15:09 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
My reference is UML2 Tools version 0.10.0.201103290534 on Indigo build: 20110615-0604 and my task to define a Typed Collection as type for a class attribute within a class diagram defined class e.g. List<TypeB> as attribute type in TypeA's bTypes attribute. I've noticed that there is no multiplicity attribute in the properties pane of a class's attribute. How can I achieve what I am describing?

Do you mean, there are no lower/lowerBound and upper/upperBound properties?

Well to be abstract enough so as to avoid mixing my own guess of how this could possibly be set-up. What is the suggested way of allowing an attribute to be of type "Typed Collection" e.g. List<MyType> or even "Untyped Collection" just List? The Type property does not allow me to define a domain type of List kind and I shouldn't ofcourse have to change a systems design specializing all Collection types just for the sake of being able to have them available for coding in "Type" property.

Assuming the availability of bound related properties I guess the requirement would be covered, but considering the lack of those properties as well as of the obvious "UML metamodel EType of kind List", how is such a requirement currently covered?

Ok I missed upper and lower properties, additionally I found the following article for Generics path in UML templates.

eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Defining_Generics_with_UML_Templates/article.html

Thank you very much!

To model a collection attribute where the element type is Foo, you declare the attribute type to be Foo (and not List of Foo) and set the upper bound to unlimited (-1).

I found this graphical view of a class diagram including generics.
Hope this help.
