Difference between Association, Composition and Aggregation in Java, UML and Object Oriented Programming

In Object-oriented programming, one object is related to another to use functionality and service provided by that object. This relationship between two objects is known as the association in object-oriented general software design and is depicted by an arrow in Unified Modelling Language or UML. Both Composition and Aggregation are the forms of association between two objects, but there is a subtle difference between composition and aggregation, which is also reflected by their UML notation. We refer to the association between two objects as Composition when one class owns other classes and other classes can not meaningfully exist, when the owner is destroyed.
