Amanda, You are saying that You have ordered "another" book... meaning You already have a book(s) that deals with UML and J2ee? I would like to know which one, because when it comes to UML and J2EE, I have just come across bits and pieces here and there.

Hi Amanda
I agree completely, using class diagrams to describe distributed systems is dificult at best.
Stereotypes can help, if used consistently. For instance, the stereotype can indicate local or remote. Or the stereotype might indicate the specific type of class, such as EjbEntityBean, EjbSessionBean, or Servlet. This and picking consistent names for different types of classes seems to be it for class diagrams...
Here is another (slightly goofy) technique for sequence diagrams that works for me in Rational Rose:
Before you start the UML sequence diagram, add colored background areas, using notes and fill color. (Doing this first sets the Z-Order to the back)
Then add your objects and messages as usual.
Finally resize the notes so the client objects are in one area and the EJBs are in another.
Hope it helps

PS: If you have time, I am very interested in your reaction to Enterprise Java with UML with respect to the J2EE architect test and in general.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen all at once.
