Product Description

Product Description

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has gained acceptance as the de facto standard for modeling object software systems -- and, with this book, UML proves itself as an architectural description language, as well. Leading component developers John Cheesman and John Daniels show how to use UML 1.3 to specify and design any mid-to-large-size system utilizing server-side component technologies -- and, along the way, introduce powerful rules and guidelines for enhancing any component architecture. First and foremost, UML Components focuses on process: design processes for producing large-scale component-based systems that can be implemented through existing project management processes. Second, the book offers detailed, expert techniques for using UML 1.3 notation and diagrams to create component specifications that can support change, by allowing for easy substitution as new business problems and technical opportunities arise. The book includes detailed coverage of the Object Constraint Language, practical techniques for configuring and using UML tools, and a complete, start-to-finish case study.

From the Author

The book that tells you how to combine EJB and COM+ with UML
We wrote this book to help those of you who want to use UML to describe components built using technologies such as EJB and COM+. A technology-independent specification of a component is very useful in providing a more abstract view. UML, together with OCL, provides a mechanism for putting precision into the abstract specifications.

Other books provide an overview of UML, but this book explains specifically how to use UML to specify components. Most importantly, it also provides a simple step-by-step process for moving from requirements to component specifications.

4.0 out of 5 stars It will GROW on you, 24 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: UML Components: A Simple Process for Specifying Component-based Software (Component Based Development Series) (Paperback)
On first reading over a year ago (March '01) I found it hard going, now on re-reading, it makes a lot more sense and will be re-read in the next project for the development phase.
The only shortcomings are a lack of discussion on packages, patterns, component dependancy matrix, version release managment in global organisations and FINALLY an example CCM (Corba component Model)/ Catalogue for the Designer and how this should be interpreted by the programmer. Why has it not gained more prominence or is it ahead of the 'Curve' sic hype ?
Overall a job well done but needs updating and I think that it will be welcomed by the whole industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the cover....., 21 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: UML Components: A Simple Process for Specifying Component-based Software (Component Based Development Series) (Paperback)
The cover of this book says it all "A Simple Process for Specifiying Component-Based Software".

If you found the Catalysis book oververtly complex (go on admit it) then this book should be next on your purchase list.

The only debate would be whether the use of Mgr suffix on interface types and how this applies to EJBs was discussed adequately.

Initially I was tempted to give this book four stars. However, as this book is pitched as being a "simple process" I think it lives up to its title and is an excellent introduction to CBD.

I hope people buy it and read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic CBD, 14 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: UML Components: A Simple Process for Specifying Component-based Software (Component Based Development Series) (Paperback)
This book represents the first realistic methodology for CBD I've read.

I've read the Catalysis book, which is overly complex for most people. And Paul Allen's book, which takes a higher level view, never getting down to the nitty-gritty detail required.

This book gives a step by step breakdown of how to do analysis and design for CBD targeting EJB and COM+. And does so, for the most part, realistically - given the nature of EJB and COM+.

Recommended above other books on the subject, although a reading of the Catalysis book, which is cited often in this book, would also be useful.
