The UML 2 Composite Structure Diagram
Filed under Common
UML 2 composite structure diagrams are diagrams showing internal structure of classifiers, including the interaction points to other parts of the system.
Part
Parts are elements which represent a set of one or more instances that are owned by a containing classifier instance and it is shown as an unadorned rectangle contained within the body of a class or component element.
Ports
Ports are defining interaction between a classifier and its environment, shown with a named rectangle on the boundary edge of its owning classifier.
Interfaces
Interface operations are public and abstract and they are similar to a class having a lot of restrictions. It can be shown as a circle.
Delegate Connector
The delegate connector connects an external contract of a component as shown by its ports to the internal realization of the behavior of the component’s part to view an internal working of a component’s external ports and its interfaces.
