Is UML Class Diagram of Zend_Log correct?

Background of question

Analysis of Zend_Log reveals following Class Diagram

Zend_Log:

• uses ReflectionClass & Zend_Log_Exception
• maintains reference to array of Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract
• maintains references to array of Zend_Log_Filter_Interface

Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract

• maintains reference to array of Zend_Log_Filter_Interface
• maintains reference to Zend_Log_Formatter_Interface

Questions

1. Zend_Log_Filter_Interface relates with Zend_Log_Filter_Suppress, Zend_Log_Filter_Message & Zend_Log_Filter_Priority as depicted, is this correctly laid out in Class Diagram?
2. Is it okay to say that, the Zend_Log contains reference to array of Zend_Log_Filter_Interface and this is composition relationship (similarly for Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract)?
3. As it is obvious that Zend_Log_Filter_Interface is contained by both Zend_Log & Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract, while Zend_Log contains Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract, that makes Zend_Log_Filter referenced by both container (Zend_Log) and co开发者_如何学运维ntained (Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract); is that some "Design Pattern", if yes what is the name?

Regards!

1. Zend_Log_Filter_Suppress, Zend_Log_Filter_Message, and Zend_Log_Filter_Priority all implement the Zend_Log_Filter_Interface interface. This is denoted using the empty arrow and dotted lines between them. The same is true for Zend_Log_Formatter_Interface and the three classes depicted below it.

2. Yes, that's correct. Whether to use an association (-->) or composition here could be debated since two Zend_Log instances could share a single Zend_Log_Writer_Db instance. As the writers and filters determine the overall behavior of the log, composition makes sense to me.

3. Each log instance can write to multiple writers. Messages are first filtered by the log itself, and any message that passes goes to every writer. Each writer filters the incoming messages as well. This allows you to ignore all messages below the WARN priority (at the log level) which get written to a file and further limit database logging to those at the FATAL level. You could accomplish the same effect by dropping the log-level filter array, but it would require duplicating the filtering in each writer.
