Subject: How to show class contained as attribute in another class

Anonymous

Hi,

I am a beginner with UML, so please forgive the basic nature of this question.

I wish to depict the following common situation on a UML 2 class diagram:

Code:

classA {}
 
 classB
 {
   private: classA myIdentifier;
 }

My question is: on the diagram, do I add an attribute to ClassB and give this the type ClassA or do I omit the attribute and put both classes on the diagram with an association between them? Or do I do both?

What is the preferred (correct?) way of showing this?

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Best wishes, Patrick Skelton
