20.1 The Cheesman-Daniels Business Component Model

  • Problem: UML classes do not specify required interfaces,

which is necessary for UML components

  • The Cheesman-Daniels process helps to find components

from UML class diagrams

  • Using the “Business component model”

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)

Business Objects are Complex Objects

  • In the Cheesman-Daniels component model, a business component consists of a

set of business objects and other business components (part-of relation)

►

The smallest component is a business object with several provided and required interfaces

.

The business objects are the logical entities of an application

.

Their interfaces are re-grouped on system components for good information hiding and change-oriented design

■

A business component has a specification containing all interfaces and contracts and an implementation

■

UML-CD are used (UML profile with stereotypes)

Goals of the Cheesman-Daniels Process

►

The Cheesman-Daniels Process identifies UML components in UML class diagrams

►

It bridges

►

domain modelling with

►

use case modelling (functional requirements)

Identifying Business Components with the Cheesman-Daniels Process

  • Overall development process

1) Requirements 2) Specification 3) Provisioning 4) Assembly Test Deployment

Use Case models Business Concept models Constraints Components Existing assets Component Specs & Architectures

Artifacts of the Cheesman/Daniels Process

►

Requirement artifacts:

■

Domain model (business concept model): describes the business domain (application domain)

■

Use case model (requirements model)

►

System artifacts, derived from the business concept model:

■

Business type model, class diagram derived from domain model:

.

Represents the system's perspective on the outer world (more attributes, refined class structures from the system's perspective)

■

Business object interface model, identifies the business objects and all their interfaces

■

Business object model, derived from the business object interface model by adding additional operations

►

System component artifacts

■

Component interface specifications: one contract with the client

■

Component interface information model (state-based model)

■

Component specifications: all interface specifications of a component plus constraints.

■

Component architecture: wiring (topology) of a component net.

Component Identification (Step 2.1)

Select interesting Business Classes From Domain Model

Component Identification Domain Model (Business Concept Model) Business Type Model Develop system interfaces model Use Case Model Component Specification Database Find UML component specifications (matchmaking) Decompose top-down Allocation of business object interfaces to components Reusable component specifications New component specifications Find out Business Object Interfaces Business Object Interface Model

Domain analysis Function analysis Reuse analysis

Business Component Specifications and Architecture

Ex.: Domain Model of a Course-Management System

►

Collects all concepts of the domain (aka business concept model)

Step 2.1a) Business Type Model

►

Shorten the domain model by selecting system types from the domain model

■

Eliminates superfluous concepts

■

Adds more details

■

Distinguish datatypes (passive objects, materials, persistent entities)

Step 2.1b) Identifying Business Object Interfaces

►

Identifies business objects from the business type model

■

And defines management interfaces for them

■

Here, only Company, Course, Person are business objects, all others are dependent types Teacher Participant <<business object>> Company <<business object>> Course Course Part Exercise Exam Student Engineer <<business object>> Person name:String ICompanyMgmt ICourseMgmt IPersonMgmt

Step 2.1c) Component Grouping

►

Group classes and interfaces into reusable components

Teacher Participant <<business object>> Company <<business object>> Course Course Part Exercise Exam Student Engineer << business object>> Person name:String ICompanyMgmt ICourseMgmt IPersonMgmt <<comp spec>> Company <<comp spec>> Repository

14

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)

Alternative Component Grouping (Version 0.2)

►

Often, classes and interfaces can be grouped in several ways into

  • components. Goal: think about what is reusable

►

Here: Person management might be reuseable, so make it a separate component

Teacher Participant <<business object>> Company <<business object>> Course Course Part Exercise Exam Student Engineer <<business object>> Person name:String ICompanyMgmt ICourseMgmt IPersonMgmt <<comp spec>> Company <<comp spec>> Courses <<comp spec>> Persons

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)

Component Identification

►

The component identification subprocess attempts to

■

Create a business object interface model from the domain model (still without methods)

■

Attempts to group these interfaces to initial system component specifications

.

The grouping is done according to

information hiding: what should a component hide, so that it can easily be exchanged and the system can evolve?

Reuse considerations: which specifications of components are found in the component specification repository, so that they can be reused?

►

There is a tension between business concepts, coming from the business domain (problem domain), and system components (solution domain). This gap should be bridged.

Step 2.2: Component Interaction Analysis for Refinement

  • f Component Interfaces

Add Operations Component Interaction Analysis Business Object Interface Model Business Object Model Architecture Analysis Component Specifications and Architecture (0.1) Refine Interfaces Component Specifications and Architecture (0.2)

Component Interaction Analysis

►

Component Interaction Analysis refines the results of the first stage

■

Removing,

■

Regrouping,

■

Augmenting,

■

Adding interfaces

■

Producing component specifications and wirings in a version 0.2

►

Additionally, operations are added to business object interfaces

■

And mapped to internal types.

Step 2.3: Contract Specification

  • Enrich the interfaces with contracts

Add Contracts (pre-, postconditions, invariants) Specification Business Object Model Interfaces Component Specifications and Architecture (0.2) Component Specifications and Architecture (1.0) Construct Interface Information Model Interface Information Model

SLIDE 20

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)

Contract Specification in OCL (Step 2.3)

►

Specification of declarative contracts for UML classes in OCL

►

Invariants:

■

Evaluate business domain rules and integrity constraints

■

Example: context r: Course

  • - a course can only be booked if it has been allocated in the

company inv: r.bookable = r.allocation->notEmpty

►

Pre- and Postconditions for operations (assumptions and guarantees)

■

Can only be run on some state-based representation of the component

■

Hence, the component must be modeled in an interface information model

■

Or: be translated to implementation code (e.g. Java using an OCL2Java Compiler) context Course::book(cert:Certification)

  • - a course can only be booked if the booker has an A-level

certificate pre: cert.instanceOf A-level

Step 3: Provisioning (Realization, Implementation, Publishing)

►

Provisioning selects component implementations for the specifications

■

Choosing a concrete implementation platform (EJB, CORBA, COM+, ...)

■

Look up component implementations in implementation repositories

.

Write adapters if they don't fit exactly

■

Program missing components

■

And makes them available in component repositories

■

Store component implementations and specifications in database for future reuse

Step 4: Assembly

►

Puts together architecture, component specifications and implementations, existing components

20.3 Evaluation of Cheesman-Daniels Business Components

►

No top-down decomposition of components, only bottom-up grouping from class diagrams

■

part-of relationship is not really supported

►

Reuse of components is attempted, but

■

Finding components is not supported
