How to use UML to model Enterprise JavaBeans, Swing components, CORBA, and other popular technologies

Enterprise Java with UML is the first comprehensive guide on using UML (Unified Modeling Language) to model Java applications. Written by three well-known members of the UML and Java community, the book presents strategies for developing enterprise systems using Java and related technologies -- XML, Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans, Swing Components, CORBA, RMI, and others. The authors explain how UML is used as a modeling tool for object-oriented computer systems in the real world, break down common situations that development teams encounter, and discuss the tradeoffs of using different technologies in different combinations. They also explore different products, looking closely at their strengths and weaknesses.

Four in-depth studies complete the presentation, showing readers how to make the right decision for their project through examples of both successes and failures.

"[This book] delivers key knowledge that every programmer should be armed with." -- Claude Duguay for java-zone.com

From the Back Cover

Use UML to dramatically improve your J2EE applications

This book shows you how to harness the enormous power of enterprise Java technology using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Writing for Java developers who are interested in modeling software before they build it, Arrington takes you step-by-step through the process of developing enterprise systems using J2EE and UML to devise elegant solutions, share ideas, and track decisions throughout the entire development cycle. Using a Timecard application, you'll start with Requirements Gathering and use case diagrams to understand the system from the user's perspective and create class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and collaboration diagrams to further analyze the problem. During the technology selection process, Arrington evaluates different Java technologies and takes a detailed look at the strengths and weaknesses of EJB, XML, Servlets, Swing, RMI, and JDBC to help you determine their suitability for your project. Next, you'll describe the system at a more granular architectural level with class and package diagrams. In the design stage, you'll apply all of the results from the previous steps to create an intricate model of the system's functionality and prepare a valuable foundation for implementation. The result is a single, coherent model that describes a software system from several perspectives.

With this book, you'll:
* Gain a better understanding of object-oriented analysis and design
* Learn how to use only the parts of the UML that you need for Java development
* Examine a wide variety of UML software models and learn how to select the best one to meet your needs
* Learn how to use UML to describe other technologies and class libraries, such as Servlets, XML, and Swing

The CD-ROM contains:
* All the design documents and source code for the sample Timecard application built in the book
* Instructions for installing and running the sample Timecard application using Sun's J2EE reference implementation

5.0 out of 5 stars UML by Example - thanks C.T.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2002
"Enterprise Java with UML" (John Wiley & Sons, ISBN 0-471-38680-4) ) by C.T. Arrington is an excellent book covering the topic of Software Development using UML.This book is about modeling all phases of the software lifecycle using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to build the artifacts. The author describes the modeling process for requirements gathering, Object Oriented Analysis, technology selection, software architecture, software design and implementation. The author demonstrated the advantage of participants utilizing a common language (UML notation) for communication. The author stressed viewing each phase from the proper perspective. For example, requirements gathering must emphasize viewing the model from the customer's perspective as the model is developed while Object Oriented analysis is a view from the developers perspective. The author also identified diagrams that are used for each phase. For requirements gathering the diagrams will include use case diagrams, text descriptions of each use case, and activity diagrams. During Object Oriented analysis, diagrams will include class diagrams, state charts, package diagrams, sequence diagrams, and collaboration diagrams. The author also provided useful steps and evaluation criteria to identify when a phase is successfully completed and when entry to the next phase was premature. The book is organized in pairs of chapters. One chapter discusses theory followed by a chapter that uses the theory to implement a sample project. The sample project is an example of a time recording system and demonstrates the phases of modeling as the book progresses through each phase. Experienced developers will want to focus on the chapters that model the sample. These chapters contain tips and evaluation criteria that are not found in the chapters on theory. Two observations that would improve the usability of this book: a quick reference for UML notation, and a list of diagrams for each phase with references to the figures in the text. This book is an easy read and practical enough that it makes an excellent textbook on implementing software projects using UML.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great first UML book for a Java developer
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2003

This is a very good book for someone who has a worked with java at the developer level and is thinking about making the jump to the architect level. Arrington is an experienced teacher and his teaching proficiency shows all along the book. His style is very clear and sometimes repetitive, but that makes sure you get the idea through.
Being a "hands on type of guy" I like the fact that the book explains the theory in the context of developing and example application.
The UML & Object Oriented Analysis section of the book is truly outstanding, while the implementation part leaves a bit to be desired. It is also outdated as it still uses HTML production classes inside Servlets and not JSP. The second edition should fix this.
Overall the best book on UML for a Java developer I have read so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars real UML for real projects, from a real Architect
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2002
Now I really know what UML is, finally I have a clear idea on how to apply it in real projects (not only J2EE ones), and I can appreciate its value as a great way to communicate ideas. The Author's *real* experience really shines through: everything is explained in practical terms, the examples are of a quality that can rarely be found in books (simple but not trivial, rich in details but not verbose, and thoroughly discussed and carefully engineered), quality that can only be the product of clear and sound understanding of the matters, understanding made in the trenches of complex projects.
Need to know UML ? Here I've found the clearest explanation of the various UML diagrams, with simple examples to convey the fundamental features of every diagram; forget the "UML in 24 hours" books!
Another great value of this book is the discussion of how to map the UML diagrams in Java: it was invaluable for me, since I could immediately use my OOP experience to get a practical feeling of the diagrams, in so reinforcing my understanding; an UML association, at the end, it's just a member variable, and I wonder why this is one of the few books that tells you that immediately, without filling the pages with a dozen of Academic words and acronyms.
And everything applied to J2EE, that hot technology that only a few have had experience with ... with the usual high quality, especially the discussions of the strong and weak points of every J2EE sub-technology.
Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that all the Java software Engineriers must have
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2006
When we introduce students in the complex world of modeling application with java and UML, we need a material that shows the students how to do the things in an applicable and real way. I can tell that this book is the book that all the java software Engineriers must have. In this book we find the anwers of how we can obtain good requirements using use cases, we understand the basics of the architecture of any application, and we can map the UML concepts with the the Java technology.

This is a good introductory book for UML in general. My one complaint is in the handling of the diagrams. Whoever put the book together was loathe to put any diagrams in the middle of pages, so they are all at the top or bottom of a page; consequently they are sometimes in the wrong place - in the middle of a previous section, on another page, or some other odd place.

I bought this book as I was asked to use the UML and Java in a project.
It provides a structured approach for undertaking the analysis of pretty much any project using the UML and the design of Enterprise Java projects. The best feature is the accompanying CD with an application published via Rational Rose.
All in all, a good book with a useful reference application.
