E011 Class is Subclass Of Self

Umple semantic error reported when a class is designated as a subclass of itself.

The inheritance hierarchy cannot have cycles. It must be a strict tree. It is therefore not allowed to make a class into a subclass of itself.

Example

// This example generates the error message
class X {
  isA X;
}
      

Load the above code into UmpleOnline

 

Solution to The Above So the Message No Longer Appears

// The following shows how to avoid the error
class Y {}

class X {
  isA Y;
}
      

Load the above code into UmpleOnline
