14.2. UML

This Unified Modified Language (UML) diagram details a class design using the Prototype Design Pattern (see Figure 14-1). Refer to the following list:

  • The MyObject class has been assembled using the Prototype Design Pattern. It has one public method called requestClone(). This method is used to generate a copy of the MyObject instance.

  • The ClonedObject object represents a copied instance of the MyObject class. Note that, since it is an exact duplicate, it also has the requestClone() public method.

  • Many instances of ClonedObject can be created by calling the requestClone() method of MyObject.
