Hands-On Design Patterns with Java

Unified Modeling Language Primer

This book features several design patterns and covers their implementation using Java. We can use Unified Modeling Language (UML) to help communicate class structures, objects, and interactions. This chapter provides an overview of UML, with a specific focus on diagrams applicable to the hands-on activities in this book.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introducing UML
  • Behavior diagrams
  • Structural diagrams

Technical requirements

This chapter does not have any technical requirements. In order to create UML diagrams, the following open source software tool is recommended:

Modelio can be run on systems with any of the following operating systems:

  • Debian/Ubuntu
  • macOS X
  • RedHat/CentOS
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 10

Introducing UML

UML was developed in 1994 to document object-oriented systems. Since that time, UML has become a standard tool for software engineers, software developers, and businesses. UML is used to design software and, after programming, also provides a visual record for the system which can be included as part of formal software documentation.

There are two types of UML diagrams—behavioral and structural. Both are described in the sections that follow.

Understanding behavioral UML diagrams

Behavioral diagrams illustrate how system components interact to form a system. The four diagrams listed here are behavioral, and are briefly described in the subsections that follow:

  • Activity diagrams
  • Interaction diagrams
  • State machine diagrams
  • Use case diagrams

Activity diagrams

Activity diagrams illustrate the flow of processes in a system. This type of diagram is used to visually document activities within a system, also referred to as a system's procedures or dynamic components.

The following activity diagram shows the activities involved when a coffee shop customer places an order. The starting point is the top black circle. From there, an order is received. Beneath the Receive...

Understanding structural UML diagrams

Structural diagrams illustrate components of a system. The six diagrams listed here are structural, and are briefly described in the subsections that follow:

  • Class diagrams
  • Component diagrams
  • Composite structure diagrams
  • Deployment diagrams
  • Object diagrams
  • Package diagrams

Class diagrams

The class diagram is the most commonly used UML diagram, as it provides a visual description of a system's objects. Consider that, in Java, everything is an object, so you can see the relevance and reason as to why this particular diagram is so widely used. Class diagrams do more than just display objects—they visually depict their construction and relationships with other classes.

As you...

Summary

The Universal Modeling Language (UML) is used to create visual documentation of our systems. This can be used to design a system as well as document a system. UML is widely used by software engineers, software developers, and other professionals.

Two of the 14 UML diagrams are behavioral and structural. Behavioral diagrams illustrate how system components interact to form a system and include activity diagrams, interaction diagrams, state machine diagrams, and use case diagrams. There are several types of interaction UML diagrams, including sequence diagrams, communication diagrams, and timing diagrams.

Structural diagrams illustrate components of a system and include class diagrams, component diagrams, composite structure diagrams, deployment diagrams, object diagrams, and package diagrams.

In the next chapter, Object-Oriented Design Patterns, we will explore intermediate...

Description

Java design patterns are reusable and proven solutions to software design problems. This book covers over 60 battle-tested design patterns used by developers to create functional, reusable, and flexible software. Hands-On Design Patterns with Java starts with an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and delves into class and object diagrams with the help of detailed examples. You'll study concepts and approaches to object-oriented programming (OOP) and OOP design patterns to build robust applications. As you advance, you'll explore the categories of GOF design patterns, such as behavioral, creational, and structural, that help you improve code readability and enable large-scale reuse of software. You’ll also discover how to work effectively with microservices and serverless architectures by using cloud design patterns, each of which is thoroughly explained and accompanied by real-world programming solutions. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to speed up your software development process using the right design patterns, and you’ll be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Who is this book for?

Otra decepción de Packt publications, a veces no entiendo como es que dejan publicar este tipo de libros donde el contenido es a lo mucho regular. Explicaciones escuetas, ejemplos nada practicos. El autor trata de abarcar tantos pratones de diseño que el libro termina siendo más una lista de nombres de patrones con una breve descripción de ellos.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
