Connector Constraints |
A UML connector can also have associated constraints placed on it. Constraints tell us something about the rules and conditions under which a relation operates. For example, it might be a pre-condition that a customer is of a certain type before an Association connector to an Account is allowed.
Tip: |
Constraints about an Association (connector) can be added to further refine the model. Constraints detail the business and operational rules for the model. |
