Hi,
I am modelling an analysis diagram which instantiates a number of classes.
I have 2 main problems that I hope can be solved.
1. I have defined an actor which has an attribute called 'Location'. When I place this actor on class/use case diagrams I can choose to represent it with the 'actor' notation or as a rectangle with the <<actor>> stereotype.
If I create an instance of that actor in a diagram, I cannot change the representation from the 'Actor' notation. This means that if I set a run state for the 'Location' attribute of the instance, it is not shown on the diagram.
2. How do I represent instances of association classes?
Example: Examiner <<actor>> is associated with ExamPaper <<class>>. An association class called MarkingCapacity <<class>> containing an attribute called NoOfScripts, links Examiner to ExamPaper.
I need to illustrate how a routine establishes if there are enough examiners available to mark an exam paper.
I have instantiated the ExamPaper class and given it some run state attributes. I have also instantiated a couple of Examiners. The associations do not automatically appear between these instances so how do I represent the instance of the association class (MarkingCapacity)?
Perhaps I am using the wrong notation or diagram, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard.
