Specifying features of links
The Features window enables you to change the features of a link, including the role name and association.
About this task
The General tab includes the following fields:
- Role Name specifies the name by which one class recognizes the other class.
- Association specifies the association being instantiated by the link.
You can specify a link without having to specify the association being instantiated by the link. Until you specify the association with the list menu, this field is set to <Unspecified>. - Description to add more detailed information about the association role.
The Messages tab of the Features window for the link lists the messages sent across the link, as shown in the following figure.
