I'm sorry to clutter this forum with rudimentary UML modelling questions, but I haven't found any other decent resources (or communities) where my
curiosities might be satisfied. Can I use UML to model to define specific (fixed) instances of objects? I don't expect any codegen from this, I'd just like to capture this knowledge in the model. If my model contained a BranchOffice class with a one-many relationship to a SalesTerritory and I wanted to actually define all of the BranchOffices and SalesTerritories in a model, how would I do this? I've tried creating Object elements in a class diagram, and this does solve part of my problem (because I can set Slot values on each Object), but I can't figure out how to model the one-many relationship between the BranchOffice and its SalesTerritories. I'm using MagicDraw, and I can only use a Link or Dependency between the instances. Unfortunately, neither enforce the one-many association defined on the BranchOffice->SalesTerritory association. Am I trying to do something that UML is not meant to do? Or is there some way to express (and enforce) the relationship between the instances in the model? (BTW, if someone could point me to a better place to ask such (inane?) questions, I'd be grateful.) thanks. b _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3136#3136 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
