Element Type Definition: ROLE

Oracle Designer Model, Release 6i
Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	ROLE_SPECIFICATION
Short Name	CLAAEN
View Name	CI_ROLE_SPECIFICATIONS
Description	ROLE_SPECIFICATION specifies the type of accessor used to traverse
	the association in Java code, when the type is not the type of the
	classifier at the other end of the association.

	In other words, in the generated code, the attributes created for
	association ends are given the datatype of the other end of the
	association. However, when at least one role specification exists,
	it will be used instead for the datatype of the attribute used to
	navigate the association. If more than one role specification exists
	then an attribute will be created for each role specification.

	Example: The EMPLOYEE classifier would contain all employee details
	and have a number of interfaces that access varying amounts of
	information (eg one used by the manager, with the ability to update
	salary, and another used by receptionists to get the phone number,
	etc) Associations to the EMPLOYEE classifier can choose the interface
	to use to access the information
