Additional usability and scalability enhancements that have been
implemented for the modelers include fast autolayout of diagrams,
a thumbnail overview, the publication of diagrams in Javadoc format,
and the ability to insert links to other diagrams, external files,
and generic URLs. Three kinds of platform-independent modeling
are available in JDeveloper to capture analysis and requirements:
UML activity, UML class and UML use case.
- UML activity diagrams enable you to integrate applications
using Oracle Workflow.
- UML class diagrams can be transformed into diagrams of Java
classes and interfaces.
- UML use cases allow you to capture information about how users
use a system, and capture the functionality of the system itself.
Certain technologies are supported by profiles, or specialized
implementations, of the class modeler. These are referred to as
Platform Specific Models (PSMs). You can create PSMs
in JDeveloper for the following:
- Java classes and interfaces
- ADF Business Components
- Enterprise JavaBeans
- Web services
- Database objects
UML classes, UML use cases, Java classes, EJBs, Business Components,
database objects, and web services can all be modeled on the same
diagram.
