Connectors
The process of creating connectors in a transformation has the same form as for creating elements (objects). It is a little more complex, because you also define each end of the connector - the source and target.
Connectors are represented in the Intermediary language as:
ConnectorType
{
connectorProperties*
AssociationClass {associationClassProperties*}
Source {sourceProperties*}
Target {targetProperties*}
}
For example:
Association
{
name="anAssociation"
stereotype=""
direction="Unspecified"
Source
{
access="Private"
navigability="Unspecified"
}
Target
{
access="Private"
multiplicity="1..*"
}
}

Element Reference |
An element reference is either a guid that references an element that already exists before the transformation, or an XRef to reference an element that is created by a transformation.

Notes
| • | Each connector is transformed at both end objects, therefore the connector might appear twice in the transformation; this is not a problem, although you should check carefully that the connector is generated exactly the same way, regardless of which end is on the current Class |
