Figure 23 Class Specification--Component Tab

Refer to the descriptions in the Introduction to Specifications chapter for information on the specification elements not covered in the following section.

Show All Components

Select this option if you want to get a list of all components in a model. If this option is not selected, you will see only the components to which this class is assigned.

Component Name

The component list identifies the components to which this class is assigned (with a check mark). A class can be assigned to a note or to several components with the same implementation language assigned.

You can assign the class to a component through Assign on the shortcut menu or by dragging a component from the browser and dropping it in the list.

Package Name

This field displays the package that the component belongs to.

Language

The Language field identifies the implementation language assigned to this element.

Note: When you change the implementation language of a component, the data types that are used in the specification of operations or attributes of the assigned classes are not automatically converted to data types in the new implementation language. Also if you change the implementation language for a component with classes assigned to other components, a dialog box is displayed and asks how to handle those classes.
