Hi SO, I was wondering how associations, dependencies and such relations inherit in UML (or let's say, in general). So, in a situation like this: ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ ClassA │ │ ClassB │ ├──────────┤ ├──...
I have drawn an ER Diagram in Visual Paradigm (DBVA Software) for my database. As i know, Viusal Paradigm uses Crow's Foot notation for showing ERD objects. Is there any way to convert my ER diagram to UML notation in DBVA? Here you can see Crow's Foot and UML notations. ...
Let's say I have a MyClass class, with various methods, and let's say that method MyClass.A() calls methods MyClass.B() which calls MyClass.C(). Method MyClass.A() also calls MyClass.D() which also calls MyClass.C() and so on :) Is there any tool to visualize this as a diagram? UPD. I see NDepend can do what I need but it costs too much...
As part of an assignment, I have to create a component diagram for existing code. I understand what a component diagram is and the information it presents, but I'm not sure of a process to follow when looking at code to diagram it out to produce a component diagram. I'm also not sold on how a component diagram, if I am presented with one...
I've found UML useful for documenting various aspects of OO systems, particularly class diagrams for overall architecture and sequence diagrams to illustrate particular routines. I'd like to do the same kind of thing for my clojure applications. I'm not currently interested in Model Driven Development, simply on communicating how applica...
I have been working at a few different companies now and every one has different rules about how to name classes and packages. They each have different package layouts and workflow between classes. Through these experiences I have picked up an understanding of how to layout out a project; however, I would like a more concrete definition ...
It's not a real programming (coding) problem, sorry for that (but design comes first). But anyway I don't understand whats the difference between disjoint and overlapping, it occured in several books, has a relation to OCL which is considered to be part of UML but the lastest OCL specification by OMG does no longer mention these terms, ...
hi, i am sorry but i had enough from MS Vi$$o as a software design application, i have been using it for ages and i find the user experience comparable to a Chinese torture (with out insulting the Chinese nation). we are just drowning Squares there is no reason for it to look so gray and complicated ... ;-) can anyone recommend me a ...
UML component diagrams are good at showing technical client-server-like inteface relationships between components, using the "lollipop" notation or dependency arrows. Is there a notation in component diagrams for showing in which direction information flows through interfaces on business process level? Like a client can connect to a ser...
I know it is possible to specify the multiplicity within the same class box, without having to draw the link to another class. My question is, Where should the multiplicity go, after the name or after the type? Is it: visibility name multiplicity : type as + clients [0..n] : Client or visibility name : type multiplicity as + ...
I've been given an XSD file that describes how objects will be marshalled into XML. The XSD is complex enough that I can't keep it all in my head while trying to write some code to parse it (with SAX). What I'd like is some sort of tool that could turn this XSD definition into a class diagram. Do you know of any? Bonus points if it'll ...
Hi, Can anyone tell which UML diagram I should change if there is a slight change in the design of application. The change is -> Earlier the application was using Active directory for authentication now I want to use the Membership provider instead. I want to keep the change minimum in diagrams. Thanks ...
UML is most commonly used for modelling system by using C++. In my projects C is the implementation language. I am looking for resources on UML strategies which are applicable for C. I want to use UML during design and represent the different aspects of the system. ...
In school I have learned that creating UML Diagrams/Models is great design practice before taking on a project. I have found it quite useful myself, in doing so I tackle projects much faster, and my overall design tends to be better. I've noticed a basic redundancy issue when it comes to writing code. In Visio you can be very descriptiv...
most of the books that I have read on UML uses the Java language to show examples (one notable book is the ICONIX book from Apress entitle UML-Driven Object Modeling with ICONIX). The book follows several steps using UML diagrams and then implemented in JSP. Are there methodologies to "formally" implement UML diagrams in PHP? (something ...
In my experience most architectural documentation has been ad-hoc at best,and, aside from more structured dead-tree kinds of writing I've yet to see formal UML in actual use, and I've worked with few, if any developers who'd be able to clearly or correctly build UML diagrams - it seems to be used more as a kind of "graphical psuedocode"....
I've been looking around at the different options, and it seems that even some of the most popular open source tools are Windows-only (StarUML, for example). What is the best open source alternative to programs like Visio and Rational Rose for linux? ...
We are using IBM (formerly Telelogic) Rhapsody for a new project to do model driven development of a complex device. The device consists of several subsystems that are connected by various network interfaces. We'd like to model the entire system in Rhapsody and then generate code separately for the various subsystems. The problem is thi...
Hey guys, thanks for reading! I have created a game and would like to automatically create a class diagram from my J2ME code. Netbeans (pre 6.5 I think) used to have uml plugin to do this, but as I am using the latest 6.8 version of netbeans I cant this old UML plugin anymore! Does anyone know how I can automatically create a class di...
Hi folks, I am looking for an open source UML tool that can handle association classes. So far I have looked at several out there (ArgoUML, Fujaba, etc.) and unfortunately so far none of them support association classes. Also, the tool must have the ability to generate Java code from the diagram, including the ability to generate the pr...
