Hi Sanjay,

Assuming you already really know programming (Java and c++), to understand
the classes and diagrams defined in the UML, read the Infrastructure and
Superstructure specifications available from OMG. This shows how the
modeling language is "built up" from first principles.

This mechanism is the one sued to describe ADTs (see my response to your
other message) when they are complex data structures with discrete,
different, identifiable members. Thus an ADT of ComplexNumber actually
represents a data structure of {real, imaginary} where 'real' and

Responding to Marc...
What OMG is trying to describe is what everyone else calls and Abstract
Data Type (ADT). That is, a data structure that can be hidden behind a
scalar knowledge attribute. Thus the details of the data
implementation's complexity are not of interest at the level of
abstraction of the containing subsystem so they are hidden. The use of

Hi,
Can anyone provide a tutorial that explains the classes and diagrams
step by step?

Hi again,

another question regarding PrimitiveTypes. With respect to the UML2 spec,
PrimitiveTypes may not have any logical structure. That means, they won't
have operations and attributes within UML (the spec mentiones clearly that
operations and structures may be defined outside of the scope of UML). But

Hi all,

i have a question regarding the instantiation of primitive types in UML2.
The spec itself provides two different mechanisms for it and I would like to
ensure whether there are semantically equivalent or different.

On the one hand, there is the metaclass InstanceSpecification. It may point

Hi,

The UML Almighty simulation tool now is capable of "Role Based
Prototype".

The Simulated Web Application can be customized to have more that one
Web Page per UML class.
The configuration of the web page depends on the current user. Each
User Rol has different read and write access of each UML class.

In the same way that the InfrastructureLibrary (model) may be used to
generate the UML through MOF, UML may model an EDI system (or web/network
services, even the SOA), but is not, itself, an EDI system (even compared
with XMI and the contents modeled by XMI - as close as one can get to an

The primary design artifacts for EDI are the messages and services. Many commercial uml tools have extensions to model services and messages. Typically they also provide roundtrip engineering to implementation artifacts from uml models -XML schema and wsdl.
Further, you can document how those services and messages used through referenced processes using activity diagrams.

Responding to AgathaChristies...
The short answer to the first question is Yes. However, I suspect the
way it "works" may not be what you are looking for.
UML is just a modeling notation. Its original and still primary usage is
the record OOA/D software designs. So you when you design your EDI work

Hi,

Would it be possible to use UML as an EDI system?Once we have input
the data and built all the achitecture of the system could we then
implemant a system of exchange of data? Would it still confidential
(just between the two concerned persons)?How does it work?

I know large question but i am looking for the simplest way to

Not really. On these forums I am known for being able to describe any
picture in a thousand words. B-)
OK, so you are not going to muck with the RDBs; you just want to get
data from one to the other and the vehicle will be SQL queries from one
DB to the other, right? [I haven't used an RDB in a decade or so, but my

Thanks for the lengthy response. You've obviously put some time into
it.

What am I trying to model?
I'm migrating data from one system to another. Both are RDBMs and
provide similar functionality, but are implemented very differently.
I'm currently writing the data transformation required in SQL. So I

Responding to Scorpio...
The first thing you need to figure out is exactly what you are modeling...
Schema definitions is Data Modeling. UML is fine for that but
constructing and interpreting the models requires a somewhat different
mindset than, say, an OOA/D model of a problem solution.
"Somewhat" is probably an understatement. The form/query/table view of

Hi Folks,

I'm fairly new to UML, but I'm trying to integrate it into projects as
I get the opportunity.

Currently I'm working on a migration project and I'm using Enterprise
Architect to document the target database including adding
constraints. I then generate DDL to create a target database and write

Responding to Huellein...
That's fine. It is really determined by the methodology that makes
things play together. Not everything in UML needs to be used in every
application; it is a hybrid notation intended to support quite different
construction approaches.
In this case what you describe is more Domain Modeling or a form of

Thank you for your detailed answer. Especially the part about using AD at
all was very interesting. At the moment I am using them very
extensive to describe workflows which are not yet modelled in terms of
classes and methods. They shall picture the next level after Use

and sorry for broken english

got a project on cakePHP
i need to make a class diagrams
its for my university

i've got 4 controllers and 4 models. each controller has one or many
views.

so
how do people usually draw class diagrams for it
