Reside Relationships

A reside is a relationship that indicates that a class or component resides in a component or artifact. Residence means that the component or artifact provides a physical implementation for the class; it does not indicate ownership. The class is the supplier in the relationship, and the component or artifact is the consumer.

For example, in an e-commerce application, a reside relationship may point from a "Cart" component to a "Cart" class to indicate that the component provides the physical implementation for the class. The "Cart" component is the consumer in the relationship, and the "Cart" class is the supplier.

A reside relationship appears as a dashed line with an arrow pointing from the component to the model element which resides on it. The keyword «reside» appears next to the connector.
