Class UML 2.4.1::Substitution
Description:
A substitution is a relationship between two classifiers signifies that the substituting classifier complies with the contract specified by the contract classifier. This implies that instances of the substituting classifier are runtime substitutable where instances of the contract classifier are expected.Direct Superclasses: RealizationDirect Subclasses: Class Precedence List: Substitution, Realization, Abstraction, Dependency, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, ElementProperties:
contract : Classifier (1 1); -- source Substitution substitutingClassifier : Classifier (1 1); -- source Substitution
mapping : OpaqueExpression (0 1); -- source AbstractionAn composition of an Expression that states the abstraction relationship
between the supplier and the client. In some cases, such as Derivation,
it is usually formal and unidirectional; in other cases, such as Trace,
it is usually informal and bidirectional. The mapping expression is optional
and may be omitted if the precise relationship between the elements is
not specified.{composite}
