You can use Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams to visually represent and develop artifacts of Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) applications in a single, tightly integrated development environment.
A UML class diagram depicts some or all of the components or elements in an application. You can use class diagrams to understand and design the structures and relationships for EJB enterprise beans. You can create your own context to understand, collaborate, and develop an application by using a subset of its classes. You can also develop enterprise beans directly from class diagrams and test enterprise beans on a server.
You can use UML sequence diagrams to visually represent and develop behaviors and interactions of enterprise beans.
You can use temporary, non-editable browse diagrams to create quick static views and explore existing relationships in applications, and use non-editable topic diagrams to create dynamic views of applications based on context and queries.
