Problems with multiplicity association

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to read the value of both multiplicities of one association.

I'm using AssEnd.getMultiplicity().getRange() but my output is not the value of two cardinalities.

My output is
org.netbeans.mdr.handlers.AEIndexSetWrapper@cb6
org.netbeans.mdr.handlers.AEIndexSetWrapper@cb9

Anybody can help me?

Thanks
Julian

Hi,

getRange() return a Collection which includes object of class org.omg.uml.foundation.datatypes.MultiplicityRange.
Each MultiplicityRange has an 'upper' and 'lower'. So the collection represents the Multiplicity of ONE associationEnd, e.g.: 2-4, 5-9, 20-30. This list of ranges is allowed in UML 1.4.
To get the multiplicity of the 'other side' of the aossication you need to get the associatinEnd of the opposite end and get the MultiplicityRange for it.

To get the AssociationEnds of an association you can get association.getConnection(). It returns a list of all AssociationEnds of this association (normally 2 if it is an binary association).
