Book Description

ISBN-10: 0201702525 | ISBN-13: 978-0201702521 | Publication Date: November 24, 2001 | Edition: 1

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 users' requirements and stand the test of time.

The book features the Rational Unified Process, using a large-scale application to illustrate the development process: how to establish a sound project plan, gather application requirements using use cases, create a successful Java design with UML, and implement Java code from the UML class and sequence diagrams. This sample application showcases the latest Java technology frameworks, including Java Server Pages™ (JSP), servlets, and the Enterprise Java Beans™ (EJB) 2.0 server-side technology.

You will learn how to:

• Estimate with accuracy and confidence projects built using the use case approach
• 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 the 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional book, May 14, 2002

This review is from: Developing Applications with Java™ and UML (Paperback)

I am a professional developer who is moving from procedural languages and methodologies to object technology, Java and UML. I have bought and read many books on Java and UML, some good, some bad. This book is the best explanation I have found so far. It is genuinely pragmatic, with a case study that can easily be understood. The book is nothing short of exceptional. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This review is from: Developing Applications with Java™ and UML (Paperback)

This book is tremendous on theory, but horrible on actual usage. I picked it up several times and was never able to get through it, and I don't believe you could ever get an entire team of developers to read, understand and implement the theories in this book.

Unless your sole job is UML, I don't know how one would ever find time to get through this book. Perhaps my view will change after I develop a better understanding of UML.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read the outline. Buy the book. Enjoy learning., June 8, 2002

This review is from: Developing Applications with Java™ and UML (Paperback)

I am a professional developer trying to combine my Java knowledge with more recently acquired UML skills. When I first opened the book I was genuinely impressed with the clarity of thought and language. I have since read it from cover to cover and my respect for the author has only increased.
He takes a pragmatic view of the RUP focusing on 10 key artifacts (out of 109) and has turned my theoretical appreciation of UML into a practical development tool. I particularly liked his event frequency table and clean presentation of use cases. The book provides an easy to follow example containing enough detail to be real world without distracting from the key messages. The teaching style is excellent, reinforcing ideas and summarizing key points and I found the example code to be clear, helpful and focused.
In summary, I cannot recommend this book too highly for anyone intending to embark upon a Java development using UML. Read the outline. Buy the book. Enjoy learning.
