Why Modeling?
Would you build a house without a blueprint?
The Architect will do the first
high level drawings to validate
the concept with its client
He will then make a detailed
plan for the Builders
The Builders will take this
blueprint and optimise it based
on technical constraints
History of Modeling & Design


Modeling techniques has been created a while ago
under the name CASE (Computer Aided Software
Engineering)
What is recognized has effective modeling and design
today?
 Database Modeling (Data Modeling), using E/R
(Entity/Relationship) techniques (standard), for IT users
 Application Modeling using UML (Unified Modeling
Language) techniques (standard), for IT users
 Business Process Modeling using emerging techniques, for
non IT users
Problem Statement




How to effectively model business-driven application?
Different techniques (E/R, UML, BP Modeling) have
forced corporations to buy different tools, raising
communication and co-ordination issues between
business analysts, IT analysts & designers and
application developers
Lack of common framework to store and manage
models and design induce inconsistencies across
applications and reduces ability to re-use existing
software
Heritage from CASE and complexity of techniques
and tools generate high costs in learning curve
Our Vision

An Enterprise Modeling and Design solution
 That will empowers our customers to model


software that meets the needs of end users
Fits the description of the business processes
Enable IT users to perform analysis and design,
and application development
Brief Overview of Object-Oriented Modeling

Why Use Object-Oriented Modeling?
 Visually define and communicate the structure and
behavior of an application
 Represent systems using OO concepts




Abstraction: Describe using relevant characteristics
Encapsulation: Combine Data and Methods
Inheritance: Supertype/Subtype
Polymorphism: Overloading and Overriding
 Link concepts to executable code
Brief Overview of UML

UML is defined by OMG.

UML consists of 9 diagrams:
 Static
 Class
and Object diagrams
 Dynamic
 Use
Case, Sequence, Statechart, Collaboration
and Activity diagrams
 Implementation

Component and Deployment diagrams
Use Case Diagram

A Use Case Diagram describes the Actors, the Use
Cases and the interaction between the Actors and
the Use Cases.

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 implementation code.

Component Diagram



A Component Diagram can be used to define the
components we need to create for an appliacation
A Component can be using Classes, Interfaces,
Operations
EJBs, Servlets, JSPs and Web Services can be
represented as Components

Object-Oriented Modeling Best Practices
> Create an Analysis Object-Oriented Model (OOM) first
> Create Use Cases
> Create Collaboration Diagrams (identify classes)
> Create Sequence Diagrams (identify classes, operations)
> Create Architecture Diagram using Collaboration Diagram or
the Free Model
> Create Class Diagram
> Generate an Implementation OOM or refine the analysis OOM
> Create implementation components (EJBs, Servlets, Web
Services)
> Generate the code
> Complete the code with an IDE
> Reverse engineer the code to synchronize the model

Defining Packages
Packages in UML:
 A logical container for objects that belong together
 Provides a way to partition and manage work
 Provides namespace scope for objects
 Packages in Java:
 Directory structure containing objects



Classes are known by their Package (path) and class
name
Packages in PowerDesigner:
 Add model management capabilities
 Ideally a container for related objects

Defining Attributes
Defining Operations




Create operations
Generate default constructor, static initializer
Generate default getters and setters
Add operations defined in a parent classes or
interfaces
Implementing an Operation
Defining Associations


Associations are the relationships between
classes
Implementation depends on the definition of:
 Multiplicity: Is this a single reference or array?
 Navigability: Is there a reference variable?
 Visibility: Visibility of the reference variable
 Role Names: Name given to the reference
variable

Object Reuse in PowerDesigner

Shortcuts
 PowerDesigner allows classes defined in one


package or model to be reused in other packages
and models via Shortcuts.
Shortcuts define an object that is outside the
model or package in question. It acts like a pointer
to the original object.
Replication Objects (new in V9.5)
 It is a copy of the original object. Users can
modify the original objects and the replicated
objects.
Preview the Java Code of a Class
Editing the Java Code in an IDE



PowerDesigner does not generate complete code
for all your methods. You have to implement them.
Users need to implement the methods using
PowerDesigner or an IDE (JBuilder, …)
You can use the Edit With feature to launch an
IDE. PowerDesigner will automatically copy the
modified Java code back in the model and
synchronize the model with the code.
Generating the Java Code

You can select the objects you want to generate,
the location and the generation options.
Generating the Java Code

You could compile the Java code, generate Java doc
and deploy components in an Application Server.
Develop, Deploy and Debug Using an IDE


You can use an IDE or a text editor to implement
the generated methods, compile the code, deploy
the application and debug the application.
PowerDesigner 9.5.1 generates a JBuilder 7
project file and an Ant build script that allow you to
compile and deploy you application outside
PowerDesigner.
Reverse Engineering Java Code
 Recover
Java code
 Reverse engineer from a .java or .class file
 Select from individual files, a directory or an
archive
 PowerDesigner
can create a new OOM or
extend an existing one
 Understand existing Java applications
 Capture a library for reference in other models
 Synchronize a model with externally edited
code
Iterative Round-Trip Engineering

Build and test as the Design matures:
 Create an OOM
 Generate Java code and edit in an IDE
 Reverse engineer the edited code to synchronize
the Model
 Modify the Model
 Generate new code from the updated Model
Creating J2EE Components



Creating Servlets
 Use Component and Class to represent a Servlet
Creating JSPs

Generating and Reverse Engineering
Database

PowerDesigner captures existing database
structures and translates them to Java:
 Reverse engineer the Database to a PDM
 Generate an OOM (Java) from the PDM




Gives Object Designers a view of existing database objects
Jump-start to building Business Logic
Generate the O/R mapping
PowerDesigner can translate a class diagram into a
PDM:
 Generate a PDM (tables, columns, indexes, references,
O/R mapping, …)
 Optimize the database (triggers, tablespace,
denormalization)
 Generate the database
