number of component diagrams ???

[patrick de geynst]

Hi to all,
For my component diagram, I did create 5 packages:
� 1 package for each of the 4 business-tier sub-system
� 1 web-tier package

For each of the business-tier package I have a component diagram.
For the web-tier I have 4 uses cases to describe. Each of those use cases have common component (<<Servlet>> FrontController for example) and non common component ( <<JSP>> for example). I did create 1 component for each use case and show the dependency to the business-tier by showing the related package + interface.

Is this the right approach?

Thanks for any answer.

Patrick

No matter how many packages you have, you should include them in one component diagram and submit. I have heard people saying they submitted extra class diagrams and deployment diagrams, but haven't heard anyone submitting multiple component diagrams.

Thanks for your answer, as I my component diagram is big, I just want to split all those component in several packages for the business-tier.

Hi Ajith,
Cade has shown 3 component diagrams in his book. So, is showing more than one component diagram in the assignment OK?
Thanks,
