Creating UML models based on Spring template models

You can use Spring template models, to create a UML model that contains a basic infrastructure for modeling in the Spring domain. You can create a UML model that has the corresponding profile applied and reference library elements imported so that you can model Spring Framework elements, MVC elements, WebFlow elements, or Transactions elements.

Before you begin

You must be in the Modeling perspective.

About this task

Use a Spring template model to generate a UML model that has the following characteristics:

Spring profile is applied
Spring model library is imported
Spring modeling capabilities are enabled
Contains a package structure named WebContent/Spring/default, to which all Java™ Server Pages (JSP) and presentation layer artifacts are added
Contains a UML component that has the «Spring Configuration» stereotype applied, which represents a Spring configuration
Contains a UML activity that has the «Spring Package» stereotype applied, which extends from the Spring-default package in the Spring Framework

Procedure

Click File > New Model Project.
In the Project name field, type a name.
Click Next.
On the Create Model page, in the Categories pane, click Spring Modeling, and in the Templates pane, select the template to apply.
1. Click Spring Core Model, to generate a model that has the Spring Core profile applied and modeling capabilities enabled.
2. Click Spring MVC Model, to generate a model has the Spring Core and Spring MVC profiles applied and modeling capabilities enabled.
3. Click Spring WebFlow Model, to generate a model has the Spring Core and Spring WebFlow profiles applied and modeling capabilities enabled.
4. Click Spring MVC Transaction Model to generate a model that has all three Spring Core, Spring MVC, and Spring Transaction profiles applied and modeling capabilities enabled.
5. Click Spring Transaction Model, to generate a model that has the Spring Core and Spring Transaction profiles applied and modeling capabilities enabled. See Spring Framework for details on these modules.
Tip: If the Spring modeling folders are not displayed, select the Show All Templates check box.
In the File name field, type a name and click Finish. The new project is displayed in the Project Explorer view.

What to do next

You can now model basic Spring Framework elements, Spring MVC elements, Spring WebFlow elements, or Spring Transaction elements using the Palette in the diagram editor.
