Some tips if you care:
1. Keep it really simple
2. Document, document, document. I had about 5-6 pages of document. Major sections were assumptions and design considerations.
3. Keep the diagrams simple and clean. I used Together J for UML and embedded them in the HTML document(s) I submitted.
4. I had 1 class diagram, 3 component diagrams, 4 sequence diagrams for the 4 detailed use cases and 1 more sequence diagram for showing the generic MVC interaction. Did not show the client side interaction in the sequence diagrams for the use cases.
5. Did go into the details of implementation.
6. Did not do the deployment diagram but did mention the deployment considerations.
7. Major resources for my architecture
a) Core
J2EE patterns b)
SCEA Study Guide by Mark Cade (Thanks Mark for the excellent book). This book gives you a very clear idea o what level of details are expected.
c) Sun blueprints and the book (Designing Enterprise Applications 2nd edition). Pay close attention to the chapter on architecture of Petstore.
That's about it.
You can ask me general question but please do not ask the following
1. how many classes, diagrams etc.
2. how to interface different systems
Thank you all in the group for excellent information and support.
Good Luck.
