Thanks to this forum's help, I have passed
SCEA part II/III with 86%. I uploaded the assignment on 1st Dec 2006 and took part III exam on 2nd Dec 2006. I was checking the site
https://i7lp.integral7.com/ regularly but did not get the result there. Instead, I got the result at site
https://www.certmanager.net/sun_assignment/ today. One confusion I had was, this is the result only for part II, what about part III. But then going thru the postings in this forum and then calling prometric, I came to know this is combined result for part II and III.
This is the detailed result:

The biggest help I got is from book "Core
J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies" by Deepak Alur et al. I suggest you read your assignment and then read this book to see which are the suitable design patterns you can apply to your assignment. This book gives the examples of the patterns in a beautiful way and you get a lot of patterns which are appropriate for your assignment. Other thing I want to share is I used the tool "Visual Paradigm for UML" for creating UML diagrams, this is one of the few tools that gives ability to create UML 2.0 diagrams. I used its evaluation version.
My class digaram was mostly composed of domain classes. For component diagram, my approach was to create a system level compnenet diagram and showing all the major components and their interaction. Then I showed component diagrams for each of the components. I created 2 sets of sequence diagrams for all the major use cases given, one for customer and one for travel agent, however, my design ensured that only the presentation part changed for these 2 clients, the model and controller layers were common.
Shoot me with the questions if you have any
