Custom Constructor

Custom constructors should normally not be provided in Umple. Consider using before and after keywords to adjust what the automatically-generated constructor does, or adjusting constructor parameters using keywords like lazy.

Umple generates its own constructors: The arguments are composed from the list of attributes in the class (in the order provided), as well as any associations with a 1 multiplicity at the other end. To avoid having an argument in the generated constructor, designate an attribute as 'lazy' or specify association multiplicity to be 0..1 instead of 1. Umple also generates code to constrain the value of what appears in each constructor if a constraint is specified.
