3rd party representation question

[Luay Abdulraheem]

Dear All,

Suppose that I have a 3rd party jar file, which will be bundled with the WAR file (inside WEB-INF/lib), and I will be using this jar in my application.

Question: how do I present this 3rd party jar file in both Class diagram & Component diagram ?

Thanks.

You can not present it in Class Diagram since it is not your class... You can show it on Component and Deployment diagrams.

In Component diagram I can show, but what if my deployment unit is an EAR file, and the jar is part of the WAR file, how can I show it in Deployment diagram ?

Does it make sense to add it to ear archive? if you add it it can not be reused by other application deployed to this app server. In my opinion it should be added to /lib folder on app server therefore it will be available on the class path and ready to use by other application.
