When creating class operations to your own data model in the Implementation folder, you can select from three the following different types of implementation:
- Action Script:The usage of action script is explained on this page.
- JavaScript: For more Information about the usage of java script refer to Using JavaScript.
Mapping Diagram:Refer to Modeling Data Mapping for more information about mapping diagrams.
- Activity Diagram: You can implement class operations by a UML activity diagram. Refer to Modeling Activities for more information on activity diagrams.
The xUML Action Language is a script like language that you can use in class operations to implement atomic actions like manipulating strings, arrays, and so forth. Such class operations are called action script.
