Set and Bag types [message #759285] Mon, 28 November 2011 09:27 Go to next message

Hi all, maybe a silly question, but still.. is there Set (Bag) type in
UML2? And if yes, how attribute of that type is described? Thanks in
advance.

Hi Emil

Not entirely silly; it is a mismatch between OCL and UML that awaits
resolution.

In UML, collection kinds are deduced from the ordered/unique
multiplicity properties, so a Bag is configired by a MultiplicityElement
with upperBound > 1, !unique, !ordered.

So, multiplicity of the attribute defines that, understood.

What i didn't know, that attributes can have multiplicity (thought
multiplicity is only related to the class as whole)

If we have

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class theClass;
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Property prop = theClass.getAllAttributes().get(0);

And prop.getLower() (prop.getUpper()) will then contain multiplicity for
that attribute? How is that depicted in the class diagramm?

It depends on your diagram tool and viewing filters, but many display
things such as ?,*,+,1..3
