The authors then discuss future directions for business-object technology including standards and integration with Java and other Web technologies. Finally, they provide proven techniques for each stage of the business-object development process with numerous real-world examples. Using UML 1.1 throughout, you learn how to: * Analyze the business domain * Apply proven design patterns * Build and utilize your own business objects.
