Figure 25 Class Attribute--General Tab

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

Class

The class to which the attribute belongs is displayed in this static field.

Show Classes

Select the Show Classes check box to list all classes defined in the model and any fundamental types that reside in the model.

If you clear this check box, the selection lists include only the fundamental types that reside in the model.

Type

Attribute types can either be classes or language-specific types. When the attribute is a data value, the type is defined as a language-specific type. You can enter the type in the Type field of the Class Attribute Specification. Rational Rose displays the type beside the attribute name in the class icon and updates the information in the model.

Initial Value

You can assign an initial value to your class attribute through this field. Click the Initial Value field and enter the value.
