How to represent Repository pattern in UML?

Answer 2

jensgram has already provided an answer on how to represent the pattern as classes.

When it comes to using patterns in EA, you can quite easily create them yourself using Save UML Pattern under the Diagram - Advanced menu. This saves an XML representation of the pattern.

You import the pattern for use in your project either using the Resources window or by creating an MDG Technology (more complex, but a much better alternative for medium and large-scale deployments).

Unfortunately, the one UML diagram type where EA does not support pattern creation is the sequence diagram.
