UML class diagram enum

Question

I am modeling a class diagram  An attribute of a class is an enumeration  How do I model this  Normally you do something like this   - name   string   But how does one do this with an enum

They are simply showed like this                                lt  lt enumeration gt  gt           DaysOfTheWeek                                Sunday                  Monday                  Tuesday                                                                 And then just have an association between that and your class

Typically you model the enum itself as a class with the enum stereotype

If your UML modeling tool has support for specifying an Enumeration  you should use that  It will likely be easier to do and it will give your model stronger semantics   Visually the result will be very similar to a Class with an  lt  lt enumeration gt  gt  Stereotype  but in the UML metamodel  an Enumeration is actually a separate  meta type    ---------------------       lt  lt enumeration gt  gt           DayOfTheWeek                                 Sunday                  Monday                  Tuesday                                        ---------------------    Once it is defined  you can use it as the type of an Attribute just like you would a Datatype or the name one of your own Classes    ---------------------           Event                                    day   DayOfTheWeek                             ---------------------    If you re using ArgoEclipse or ArgoUML  there s a pulldown menu on the toolbar which selects among Datatype  Enumeration  Signal  etc that will allow you to create your own Enumerations   The compartment that normally contains Attributes can then be populated with EnumerationLiterals for the values of your enumeration   Here s a picture of a slightly different example in ArgoUML
