Do Objects Have Classifiers?

[sbaldrick]

When I create an object, I can find no way to specify the class of which it is an instance.

Personally, I think that as with assigning datatypes to attributes, one should have to create the class before creating an object that should be assigned to a class.

(This is an analysis POV, maybe some languages allow instances without classes.)

UML would be one of those languages: InstanceSpecification has an association "classifier : Classifier[[highlight]0[/highlight]..*]"
