hiho,
I'll bet the association is static (check the properties). A static
association means that the class itself -- not an instance of the class --
has the reference to the Singleton object. So there is still only one.

Subject: RE: (ROSE) singleton
I have a question which relates to representation of a Singleton class in
UML.
When a singleton class REed into Rose, it shows up with a unidirectional
reflexive association. Rose does this because it finds a STATIC object of
this class as a member varaible. To my way of thinking (correct me if I am
wrong), reflexive association for a class means that TWO objects of this
class are rquired to communicate. But for a singleton class ONE and ONLY
ONE object can exist.
Is this a correct representation of a singleton class? Any comments or
thoughts are appreciated.
