Enterprise Java with UML: How to Use UML to Model Enterprise JavaBeans, Swing Components, CORBA, and Other Popular Technologies

This work is a comprehensive guide to using UML (Unified Modelling Language) in model Java applications. 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 modelling 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.
