in UML Class Diagram i have lots of classes that Implements one Class IComponent.
if I show all the classes together as each class implements IComponent i have to show link between IComponent and Implementing class .
Is there any way that i can Show IComponent with single link that all class in some boundary implements IComponent Interface I created ?
Thanks in advance
You can use the "fork" link so that only one link exists from the IComponent class, as is shown here
You can connect some classes with the IComponent class and add to these connections the following constraint - {incomplete}.

I have a interface like:
public interface MyEntity {
//HIbernate version
public long getOptLock();
//these method are used to keep track of Last modified timestamp
public void update();
public void persist();
}
Which is implemented by most of the classes in my object model. Now, i know how to show a interface realisation in a Class diagram.
The problem is since this particular interface is implemented by most of the classes it is making the class diagram cluttered. Is there a altenative way to show interface realisation?
The alternative way is to use the lollipop notation, right above every class that implements the interface:

I have split some class MyClass to 2 classes
MyClassBase and MyClassDerived
for example see the attached images:
MyClassDerived
I am seeing only the members MyClassDerived, no details on other base class members

I need to expand to see more members of the class
MyClass
I see much more members of the class without expanding

why doesnt the watch shows more members, is there any option to cause the watch to show more members??
I am creating the class diagram for my project. I will use some WebViews in a class. My question is:
Should I write the WebView class in my UML class diagram or can I only use a WebView as a type?
For example, if a have a string: String a, in my class diagram, I will put a : String in the class attributes, but if I have WebView wv in my class, can I do the same as for the string and write in the class attributes: wv: WebView or I have to write the WebView class and then make an association with my class?
Short answer: you can do either.
Longer answer: UML doesn't constrain what you do here. There is no rule that says what types can be used as the value of attributes vs. what must be shown as associations.
Longest answer is actually a question: what do you want to communicate with the diagram? Class diagrams are good for showing structure - the links (associations) among classes. So: is the association between your class and your Webview instance interesting? For example, does the same instance of WebView also relate to some other object? Is there anything about that relationship that's interesting? Can the WebView instance outlive the instance of your class? And so on.
hth.
Could you explain me the following attributes?
1) [MonoTouch.Foundation.Register("SomeClass")]
Is this attribute is used only for register classes with IB? Do I have to use this class when I extend an iOS class programatically?
2) [Export("initSomething")]
When do I have to use this attribute? For selector, ok. Anything else?
Thanks you in advance.
The attribute on a class exposes the class to the Objective-C world. You need that if you want to call methods in that class. The name passed to register will be the name that the Objective-C world uses for your class.
Export is used to expose a single method or property to that world.
does anyone know how to create an abstract class using StarUML? I couldnt find any mention in the documentation.
Is there some sort of more general concept which mirrors an abstract class?
select class from toolBox and add it to canvas, then go to properties select isAbstract checkbox.
then class name appears italic.

This tutorial creates an abstract class.
