This tutorial, Part 4 of the Design SOA services with Rational Software Architect series, will discuss how to move a design forward from UML into WSDL and Java -- artifacts that you can run and test. A key feature of IBM® Rational® Software Architect that you'll use in this tutorial is the ability to automate the transformation between models. You'll discuss this feature, and show how this approach can assist you as you look to move past design and into the implementation of a solution. more>
This demonstration shows you how to build a UML 2.0 sequence diagram, populate the diagram with classes, and create interactions between those classes. more>
Convert Business Process Model Into UML Activity Diagram: Learn to convert a business process model in WebSphere Business Modeler into a UML activity diagram in Rational Software Architect. The conversion is simplified by sharing an Eclipse shell between WB Modeler and Rational Software Architect. more>
This demo shows the basics of the Database Perspective in Rational Software Architect (RSA). It guides you through importing a database schema, examining that schema and examining the contents of the database. In addition, you will learn to create a new table and populate the table with data. more>
This demonstration shows how to model Rational RequisitePro use case requirements in Rational Software Architect. First, a new UML model is created with a use case diagram. Then use case requirements from RequisitePro are dragged and dropped onto the diagram, linking the use cases in the diagram to RequisitePro for traceability. The demo finishes by showing how Rational Unified Process is nicely integrated into Software Architect. more>

This demonstration guides you through the steps required to transform UML classes from an existing UML model to Java code. This demo illustrates how to create a Java project to hold the generated code from the model in addition to showing the relationship between the design pattern used in the model (Observer pattern) and the UML classes compared to the generated code. more>
Users can now evaluate Rational Software Architect V7.0 without installing or configuring it on your own system! IBM Rational Software Architect is an advanced model-driven development and static analysis tool for software architects and model-driven developers who are creating SOA, J2EE and portal applications more>

This tutorial introduces the technique of automating the testing of a typical Web service using several technologies, including JUnit, Apache Commons HttpClient, and Apache XMLUnit. The technique is demonstrated on the development platform that IBM Rational(R) Software Architect offers. The tutorial addresses testers and developers who are interested in functional testing of a Web service. Before you begin, you need a basic understanding of Web services and Java(TM) development, and you should have had some exposure to unit testing tools, such as JUnit. more>
