Association Classes (Many-to-Many)

The following example shows how a many-to-many association class is represented in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Example

<Class1 oim:id="_2">
      <Class1OriginAssocEnd>
            <AssocClass AttributeA="...">
                  <AssocClassDestAssocEnd>
                        <Class2 oim:id="_3"/>
                  </AssocClassDestAssocEnd>
            </AssocClass />
      </Class1OriginAssocEnd>
</Class1>

This example encodes the association element into a junction class between the other two classes and uses the association name generation rule to establish the two association names.
