Developing Applications with Java™ and UML focuses on the craft of creating quality Java software. The book introduces the fundamentals of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and demonstrates how to use this standard object-oriented notation to build more robust Java applications that fulfill user requirements and withstand the test of time.
The book features the Rational Unified Process and uses a large-scale application to illustrate the development process, showing you how to establish a sound project plan, gather application requirements, create a successful Java design with UML, and implement Java code from UML class and sequence diagrams. This sample application showcases the latest Java technology frameworks, including Java Server Pages™ (JSP™), servlets, and the Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) 2.0 server-side technology.
With this book you will learn how to:
- Estimate projects with accuracy and confidence
- Map UML to Java-based deliverables
- Understand and describe application requirements using UML use cases
- Create a design based on UML class and sequence diagrams
- Use Rational Rose to create and track UML artifacts and generate skeletons for component code
- Build server-side Java functionality using JSP, servlets, and EJB 2.0 beans
- Produce code using several options, including JavaBeans, EJB Session Beans, and EJB Entity Beans (using both Bean-Managed Persistence and Container-Managed Persistence)
- Explore the benefits of deploying Java applications on both open-source and commercial application server products
Based on the author's extensive professional experience and today's most advanced software development methods, Developing Applications with Java™ and UML teaches you how to use UML and the latest developments in technology to create truly successful, professional-quality Java applications.
