UML Class Diagrams(more notation)
Class Diagrams
• Used for static modeling, i.e. modeling the static aspects of system
• Design class diagram (DCD) – used in design model, incorporates more detail than class diagram used for domain model

Attributes
• How to show:– Attribute text– Association line labeled
• Attribute text notation:
name : type
Use +/- for visibility of attribute

using the attribute text notation to indicate Register has a reference to one Sale instance
using the association notation to indicate Register has a reference to one Sale instance
OBSERVE: this style visually emphasizes the connection between these classes

currentSale
Attribute as association
• Association line (in design model):– Navigability arrow– Multiplicity– Role name– No association name

the association name, common when drawing a domain model, is often excluded (though still legal) when using class diagrams for a software perspective in a DCD

Attributes
Guideline: use attribute text for data type objects, use association lines for more substantial objects . . .

Two ways to show a collection attribute

endSale()enterItem(id, qty)makeNewSale()makePayment(cashTendered)
«method»// pseudo-code or a specific language is OKpublic void enterItem( id, qty ){ ProductDescription desc = catalog.getProductDescription(id); sale.makeLineItem(desc, qty);}

«interface»Timer
getTime()
Clock1
...
getTime()... lollipop notation indicates Clock3 implements
and provides the Timer interface to clients
Timer is a provided interface
Timer

Window2
Window3
dependency line notation
Window2 has a dependency on the Timer interface when it collaborates with a Clock2 object
socket line notation
Window3 has a dependency on the Timer interface when it collaborates with a Clock3 object
Window1 Timer
socket line notation
Window1 uses the Timer interface
it has a required interface
Clock2
...
getTime()...
Clock1 implements and provides the Timer interface
Timer
Dependencies
• Dependency relationship:client object has knowledge of other object
• Dependency line used in UML to show:– Global visibility– Parameter variable– Local variable– Static method
Fig. 16.9
SalesLineItem
...
...
ProductDescription
...
...
1..*lineItems
Sale
...
updatePriceFor( ProductDescription )...
the Sale has parameter visibility to a ProductDescription, and thus some kind of dependency
Fig. 16.10
System
...
runFinalization()...
Foo
...
doX()...
the doX method invokes the runFinalization static method, and thus has a dependency on the System class
Composition
• Two closely related concepts: – Aggregation – part/whole– Composition – stronger form of part/whole
(Note: for our purposes we will not make the distinction and just refer to it as composition.)
• Notation:– Use (closed) diamond– Do not label association

composition means -a part instance (Square) can only be part of one composite (Board) at a time
-the composite has sole responsibility for management of its parts, especially creation and deletion
Qualified Association
• Qualified association– Provide a name for one end of an association– Usually reduces multiplicity from many to one– Names an item within a context to show
uniqueness– Example: File – Directory: use a filename as
a qualifier

Association Class
• Association class– Allows attributes that more naturally belong to
association than to either class– Example: Company – Person with
association Employs, Salary more naturally belongs to association than to either of classes
