Association Link Properties

This section describes the properties specific to association links. Every element has general properties as well as specific properties. For more information, see General Properties. The composition of the Properties view changes depending on the element selected in the Diagram or UML Navigator view. You can view and modify values of properties through the Properties view.

Association Link Properties

association class: Use this field to indicate the association class for a link.

client: This property field indicates the client for the link.

client cardinality: Choose the appropriate cardinality from the drop down list. Available cardinality choices are:

client qualifier: Use this field to designate a qualified association to reduce multiplicity for associations.

client role: Use client role to label an association link on the UML diagram.

directed: This property controls whether to draw an arrow to show the direction of an association. Choose directed or undirected from the drop down list.

label: For a more understandable diagram, use this field to add a label to the UML diagram for the association link.

link type: Use the drop down list of the link type property to specify an association, aggregation, or composition link.

stereotype: You can use this field to add your own stereotype to the link.

supplier: This property field indicates the supplier for the association link.

supplier cardinality: Choose the appropriate cardinality from the drop down list. Available cardinality choices are:

supplier qualifier: Use this field to designate a qualified association to reduce multiplicity for associations.

supplier role: Use supplier role to label an association link on the UML diagram.

Javadoc Properties

The Properties view for source-generating elements also displays Javadoc properties. Using javadoc tags enables you to automatically generate a complete, well-formatted API from your source code. You can enter a description and specify values for Javadoc tags applicable to the selected element. These values are used when you generate Javadoc using the Documentation Generation feature of Together (File > Export > UML Documentation). Filling in the Javadoc fields automatically generates appropriate tags in the Javadoc tags in the source code.

comment: Adds a comment to the source code. The comment is displayed in the generated documentation.
