RE: (ROSE) web model

Hello,           [snippet taken from Rose's Help on Web-Modeler]         The Rational Rose Web Modeler addin provides tools for you to model a Web application, reverse engineer an existing Web application, and generate .jsp, .asp, and .html files by forward engineering the model. Web Modeler's complete round-trip engineering features help you concentrate on the business logic portion of the Web application, while providing interfaces for Web presentation developers to use in their design.   Reverse Engineering   Web Modeler reverse engineers your Web application creating a visual representation of the architecturally significant elements, using UML stereotypes and tagged values. A stereotype adds semantic meaning to a model element. In Web Modeler to distinguish between a client page and a server page, you assign a stereotype to the class that represents each model element. In UML, a tagged value represents a property for the model element. Web Modeler uses tagged values to represent attributes such as URLs, useBeans, and file names.   The Web application model shows the relationships and dependencies between the model elements. Web Modeler supports reverse engineering HTML pages, active server pages (ASP) and Java server pages (JSP). When reverse engineering your Web application, Web Modeler assigns the class stereotype <<Client Page>> to Web elements in .html and .htm files, and the class stereotype <<Server Page>> to Web elements found in .jsp and .asp files.   Modeling a Web Application   Using the Rose class diagram to begin modeling a Web application or the model created from reverse engineering the Web application, you can add stereotyped classes that represent client pages, server pages, and HTML Forms. Modeling the architecturally significant elements of your Web application allows you to share and communicate your development plans with other members of your team. You can review the model and make adjustments before implementing the Web application in your environment. Modeling gives you an opportunity to make corrections to the Web application's architecture before users find the problems for you in the live implementation.   Forward Engineering   After updating the Web application model, use Web Modeler's forward engineering to generate .jsp, .asp, and .html files. Use the generated files as interfaces to server resources and as the framework for pages displayed in the user's browser.     Let me know if you have any further questions/concerns.   Thank you, Shaquille Asghari Technical Support Engineer Rational WW Support Center Rational the software development company ==========Original Messege==========   -----Original Message----- From: T V Krishnamurthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 9:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (ROSE) web model I am new to rose.
