Please recommend a UML design tool

Apart from the obvious - Rational Rose and TogetherSoft - can anyone recommend a [cheaper] UML design tool that can generate UML class diagrams for existing Java classes (including EJBs) - as opposed to the usual generation of code from the diagrams?
Thanks,
-Paul.

try out JBuilder 6 it builds the UML diagrams from the java source code...

Recommend Java UML modelling tool?

Hi, based on your experience with UML tools (capable of modelling Java), what are ones that have a similar interface on both Windows and Linux?
I'd like to start using a UML tool as I learn Java, and I use both Windows and Linux, so I'm hoping to find one that you recommend and that has a similar interface on both systems, so that it's easy to switch back and forth between systems.
Any recommendations based on your past experience?
Thank you.

Thanks for the response, I'll check that out.
On this topic of similar interface for Windows and
Linux, could I also ask a question about Eclipse?
I'm a beginner programmer, and I'd like to learn
Eclipse sometime. If I learn it using Windows then
one day switch to Linux, will I miss a beat at all in
terms of the interface of Eclipse -- will all my
efforts to learn on Windows carry over to Linux?
(Never used it before, so if it sounds like a dumb
question, that's probably cuz it is.)
Thanks!Eclipse runs the same on both platforms. So does netbeans, jGrasp, etc, etc, etc.
But from what I've heard, you should use a text editor or minimalistic IDE to learn. Which seems like the route you're going anyway.

Please recommend a good tool to make JSP page.

Hi, can someone please recommend me a good tool to make JSP page? Until now, I use notepad which I found is not professional.

Hi kvols:
Thanks a lot for your reply. I had used JEditor before I switched to JCreator. I found both of them quite good. I also tried to use CVS sometime back, but got totally confused about it. I will try to search for the other toolkits you mentioned. Just now, I find one named XMLspy from google. Yet I don't know whether or not it is really as good as stated on its website. I will try it out soon.

Please recommend a tool for stress-testing ?

Could anyone please recommend a (free) tool to do multi-threaded stress-test, on plain java classes ?
In more detail: I'd like to do unit-test for some plain java methods (only mathematical calculations. No web interface, no swing).
The emphasis is stress test: i need to launch multiple threads, all of them repeately invoking my method. Under these conditions, I need to report correctness (has the method yielded the expected return value), and statistics on response time.
Any recommendations would be appreciated . Thanks !

Besides j2se or jdom, any fast tool for it?What do you mean with "j2se", that's not a XML handling tool (it contains several, 'though).
SAX sounds good for building object trees from XML, but there are several XML mapping libraries out there (try google).

Why does R/3 have no ABAP UML modelling tools integrated?

I find it strange that SAP tout the benefits of OO programming and ABAP classes, then completely fail to provide a UML round trip modelling tool integrated into the ABAP workbench.
Doesn't this display a lack of foresight on SAPs behalf? I mean, if you are serious about the use of OO software, shouldn't you be serious about providing the framework such as UML modelling tools to facilitate optimal development?
Currently if I design a solution with ABAP objects, I am using Altova UModel to document the solution, but the lack of integration with the ABAP environment means that I am always struggling to keep the code and model in sync.
does anybody have similar views on this? If views are in accordance, couldn't the SDN community try to lobby SAP to provide such a tool?

Hello Anthony
I document my ABAP-OO developments with Altova UModel, too. A colleague recently showed me that the NetWeaver Developer Studio has UML functionality but for Java developments only (where round-trip engineering is already commonplace).
I assume that the problem with ABAP round-trip engineering is the ABAP dictionary. With Java you have the simple data types and the the class hierarchies of Java. In ABAP we also need the dictionary types.
I would appreciate to have such UML tools for ABAP available, yet I do not expect them to become available in the near future.

How I can set ORG_ID context (for Oracle Apps Views) in ODI designer tool?

Hi All,
I want to get data from apps views (like OE_ORDER_HEADER_V) into our data warehouse detination table using ‘Oracle Data Integrator’ tool.
The issue is that when I reverse Oracle Table or Synonym directly, everything works fine i.e. after 'Interface' execution, I can see how many rows imported into destination table from this source Oracle table/synonym.
But when I use Apps view as a source then 'Interface' executes fine with ‘no error’ but NO rows imports to the destination table.
I believe, the only difference is that I am not able to set Org_Id before executing ODI interface so it is not picking the data.
Please let me know the steps/instructions to set org_id context on apps view then reverse in ODI Designer tool.
Please note that I can set org_id using SQLPlus successfully as given below (and see data using the same Apps view). What to do in ODI designer tool to achieve similar data:
begin
fnd_global.apps_initialize(0, 21623, 660);
mo_global.init('ONT');
end;
-- connect using apps/apps at Vision SQLPlus
-- User_Id -> 0 (<-- SYSADMIN )
-- Responsibility_Id-> 21623 (<-- Order Management Super User )
-- Application_id -> 660 (<-- ONT )
-- select count(*) from oe_order_headers_v where rownum < = 100
I would appreciate your quick help in this.
Thanks in advance.

Set org context in 11i:
===============
The SQL command to set the ORG_ID prior to running a script is:
SQL> execute dbms_application_info.set_client_info(&org_id);
Enter the org_id when prompted.
If using Toad
Begin
fnd_client_info.set_org_context(&org_id);
End;
Set org context in R12
================
The SQL command to set the ORG_ID prior to running a script is:
SQL> exec mo_global.init('AR');
exec mo_global.set_policy_context('S','&org_id');
Enter the org_id when prompted.
The procedure - mo_global.set_policy_context has two parameters
p_access_mode & p_org_id
p_access_mode Description
S In case you want your current session to work against Single ORG_ID
M In case you want your current session to work against multiple ORG_IDs
p_org_id: Only applicable if p_access_mode is passed value of "S"
If using Toad
Begin
mo_global.set_policy_context(‘S’, &org_id);
End;

Errors when compiling the web service (SAP Web Service Design Tool)

After downloading and installing the SAP de Web Service Design Tool (for Crystal Reports Server) I created a connection, a simple query and was able to deploy a web services. I tested the web service with an Xcelsius dashboard within InfoView. Thereafter I created a second connection (other name but same ODBC connection / server) and created another simple query with two date(range) parameters and a group by year and month function in order to do a select count(). It executes fine, but when I try to publish the web service I get an error.
There are errors when compiling the web service.
Is does not say whatu2019s wrong or how I can solve this problem.
Who can help me?
Some notes:
1) Within expert mode I used a MONTH() SQL function which does not show in the normal mode.
2) It seams that the u2018administrationu2019 of Web Service Design Tool got u2018corruptedu2019 after only creating the two connections, queries and services mentioned above. I believe so because I could select one of two queries when I created the second service, but within the current connection I had only one query.
Thanks for any help,
Ron
ADDITIONAL INFO: The parameters seam to be the problem. After removing the parameters I can publish the service. But without parameters it is NO SOLOTION.

Hello Taylan,
I think the error that you received was due to packaging issues.I placed the
UtilClass.java file under a directory called data which was present under
the project directory.
When you want to access a java class, you can either place the compiled
class file in the WEB-INF/classes folder or you can place the java file
under the project directory.
I have attached the sample project that I created with your files.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks

Can BO universe design tool read from more than one data source

Hi Experts
can I add personal data (from excel or Text) on a designer that is connected to relational Database
can we combine more than one universe from different data sources to do so
Please advise
thanks all

Thanks for reply
I tried the linked universe concept but it is not working when I read in this topic in the universe design tool guide it indicated that
both universes should have the same database I cote from this book
("The core universe and derived universe use the same data account, or database, and the same
RDBMS.")
I also checked in the designer help it says the same condition
If you have idea how to do so please send me the steps
thanks

Practical use of UML diagramming tool....

Hi ,
the use of UML diagramming tool is to present the system to end user (use cases) ... like the Entity Relationship Diagram in the Oracle Designer....
However , i 'd like to ask if the product of this tool can be used as a base to produce something else afterwards in the whole system...
I mean that in Oacle Designer , when the analyst designs the ER Diagram and saves it to the repository... this can be used to automatically generate the tables... in the repository also and then to the database...!!!!!
Is there analogous using UML diagramming tool....?????
Many thanks,
Simon

The UML class diagram can generate Java classes and ADF Business Components.
The Database modeler in JDeveloper can generate the database objects.
Also when you are designing the page flow diagram you are actually building the JSF or Struts flows.
The hands-on-lab that you can find on the right side of this page:

Shows off some of the model to code capabilities of JDeveloper:

JDeveloper902 as a DB-design tool ?

Hello JDeveloper forum,
At KMS we are evaluating JDeveloper902 to see, whether it can be used as a DB-design tool for reverse and forward engineering of our DataBases. I have been warned, that the UML-parts in JDev. are kind of fringe benefit.
However at KMS we have (amongst others) Oracle9i Spatial databases, wherein some tables have attributes of
- SDO_geometry (Spatial)
- Abstract Data Types (user defined at KMS)
and my trial runs show that JDev does reverse and forward engineer such attribute types correctly. No other DB-design tool seems able to do it as well, and hence I am keen on using JDev for DB-design.
But I have found some problems with JDev and was advised to seek assistance in this forum.
My questions are as follows
===========================
1) Forward engineering by right click on a package -> create database objects seems to overwrite (drop) my existing table of the same name. This is disastrous as we risk loosing tables containing millions of rows. I really just want to alter the table by fx. adding a new column. Is it possible for JDev. to just create a DDL-script instead?
2) Can the associations be shown as zig-zag lines instead of stright lines in the class diagram?
3) Is it possible to move text labels an an association? This is very desirable to avoid overlap, when 2 associations link the same 2 classes.
Background information.
=======================
We are seeking a DB-design tool to
- reverse eng. each of our production DataBases being Oracle9i Spatial, Oracle8, Informix or Ingres into a design spec.
- maintain the DB-design spec. for each DB
- forward eng. changes in the DB-design spec. to take effect in the production DB
- design new DataBases to future applications
- forward engineer a new DB-design into a Oracle9 DataBase
We prefer using UML a class diagram when doing DB-design as that is the output of DataModelling at KMS.
- Thanks in advance,

Jens,
Sorry to disappoint you but Synchronize functionality is meant to be used when you've made changes to the database and you want them reflected in the business components. There is currently no functionality in JDeveloper which will generate the 'alter table' statements that you require. JDeveloper is currently in the process of implementing a Database Modeler which will hopefully allow you to do what you want but currently there is no idea what future version of JDeveloper this will be available in.
In the mean time to work around the issue (although time-consuming) would be to export your data, do the generation and then import your data again.
The other alternative is as previously suggested would be to use Oracle Designer, which would easily be able to keep your diagram and database properly in sync. You would need to validate that it can handle your attribute types. Designer also gives you the option of generating DDL or generating straight to the database. Even though Designer is not UML compliant, it does have very good modeling capabilities especially in the area you are interested in.
Hope that helps,
Lisa

Please insert disk Adobe Design Web Premium 6 English Japan to continue.

Help. I recently purchased the program Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium. I was trying to load the program to my computer (Windows 8.1) but couldn't get past this window "Please insert disk Adobe Design Web Premium 6 English Japan to continue." I only received one disk labeled "Professional Media Kit" and the serial number when I ordered the program. How do I get the program to load? Am I missing a disk? We couldn't get anyone at website we ordered the product from to respond. Quick at taking our money but no help afterwards.

Iderga are you able to register your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/? You can find more details on how to accomplish this at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. I would recommend registering your serial number to verify that it is valid.
You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

JDeveloper as A Database Design Tool

Would anyone recommend it? I'm looking into usage of a few tools at the moment and I'm suprisingly impressed with JDeveloper. I find it to be a hell of a lot easier to use then Oracle Designer which i Just don't like.
If anyone has used it in a project before would they recommend it. One feature I'm looking for which I can't find (possibly cause I don;t know where to look is, is there an option to export the diagram to imagery formats like jpeg? Apart from that looks good so far
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
Without having any experience in Oracle Designer, I would definitely recommend JDeveloper as a database design tool. I've used it in every project I've done so far.
Regarding your question about exporting a database diagram to a format like JPG: that's perfectly possible: on your diagram, right click and choose 'Publish Diagram'.

UML Modeling Tool Suggestions?????

My group is in need of an inexpensive but good "UML Modeling Tool". We are currently looking at a tool ( Enterprise Architect ) that produces use case diagrams, object model diagrams and will produce stubs from the diagrams and will also reverse engineer. It cost about $150 per seat but has some serious short comings. We dont want anything major like "Rational Rose". Any tools anyone has experience with and can recommend that inlcude UML, use case diagrams and object model diagrams would be great.

Together cost a bit more then $150 but it worth it. Basically any piece of your code became the piece of class diagram or package diagram. The Feature Driven Development (not Use Case based approach you are looking for in a chip tool) is recommended for Together. Sometimes FDD is much more effective and it is very close to approach recommended by XP guys.

Please recommend a UML design tool
