PowerDesigner

Why Using UML?

Visually define and communicate the structure and behavior of an application Represent systems using Object-Oriented concepts Link OO concepts to executable code

Brief Overview of UML

UML is defined by OMG. UML consists of 9 diagrams: Static
Class diagram Object diagram

Dynamic
Use Case diagram Sequence diagram Statechart diagram Collaboration diagram Activity diagram

Implementation
Component diagram Deployment diagram

UML Support in PowerDesigner

PowerDesigner supports all nine UML diagrams PowerDesigner supports UML 1.4 Future version of PowerDesigner will support UML 2.0

Use Case Diagram

A Use Case Diagram describes the Actors, the Use Cases and the interaction between the Actors and the Use Cases.

Object Diagram
An Object Diagram shows the relationships between Object Instances

:Customer id = 101 name = "XiaoYun Wang"

:Order id =1 date = 3/25/2004

Class Diagram
A Class Diagram defines the Classes, Interfaces, Attributes, Operations, Relationships, Inheritances, A Class Diagram can be used to define persistent objects, control objects and user-interface objects. A Class Diagram can be used to generate the Physical Data Model and the application implementation code.

Component Diagram
A Component Diagram can be used to define the components you need to create for an application A Component can use Classes, Interfaces PowerDesigner uses Components to represent EJBs, Servlets, JSPs, ASPs and Web Services

Deployment Diagram
A Deployment Diagram is used to define the deployment architecture Deployment Diagram shows the Nodes (machines, servers), the Component Instances deployed in a Node and the Links between Nodes

Object/Relational (O/R) Mapping

Generate a Class Diagram from a Physical Data Model with O/R mapping Generate a Physical Data Model from a Class Diagram with O/R mapping Manually define complex O/R mapping Generate select, insert, update, delete SQL statements Use O/R mapping to generate EJB CMP (WebLogic, WebSphere, EAServer), JDO, Cocobase, .NET (future)

14

O/R Mapping Example

Use O/R mapping to generate SQL

Generate O/R mapping when generating a PDM from an OOM

15

Java Support
Provide wizards to automatically create EJBs, Servlets, JSPs, Web Services Generate and reverse engineer Java code Generate collection management accessor functions Generate deployment descriptors Generate O/R mapping descriptor for WebLogic, WebSphere, EAServer, JDO, JBoss (future) Generate project files for JBuilder and Eclipse Generate Ant script to compile, package and deploy J2EE application
