A BusinessDelegate uses ServiceLocator to locate Services. BusinessDelegate and ServiceLocator are client side components. But what is a Service1 needs to locate Service2. Will it use the same ServiceLocator or a different one that's in the Services tier.

Sanz,
You can have different service locators in client, web and EJB tiers. In the case you mentioned, you would use a EJB service locator, assuming service1 & service2 are in a EJB tier.

...and let's not forget a ServiceLocator can be combined with a BusinessDelegate, if delegates are the only ones that need to locate services.

OK, how many times do we show ServiceLocator component in our component diagram? Should we show it twice? In sequence diagram, we show 2 ServiceLocator by showing 2 different instances of the same class. How about in component diagram?
