Modeling Data-Oriented Web Applications using UML

摘要

Recently a growing demand has arisen for methods for the development of small- and medium scale Web Applications. We propose a systematic design method for Web applications which takes into account the dataoriented aspects of the application. The method is based on a UML profile adapted to the problem domain by means of stereotypes as well as a strategy for generating code templates from such models. We provide also a method for the derivation of the navigation model from the structural model. We will show guidelines for the development of the Data Layer of data-oriented Web application. An advantage of the proposed methodology is that several steps can be performed in a semi-automatic way providing rapid development and prototyping.
