Aggregates

[derek73]

If I show "Class A" aggregates "Class B", and "Class A"'s constructor takes a "Class B" object as one of the arguments, is it correct that I represent this relationship as an aggregate?

That is:

Code: [Select]


+---------+                          +--------+
|ClassA  |<>----|ClassB|
+---------+                          --------+

class classA:
  def __init__(self, b_object):
      ...


When I generate python code for this situation, EA creates a statement,

Code: [Select]


m_ClassB = ClassB()


and it's at the class scope level (I would expected it as self.variable = ClassB() under __init__(...) and only if I hadn't specified that variable class type in the constructor, or had specified a composition in UML).

So what am I not getting right?

Thanks!
