  • Use of UML state machines to model portal applications
    Publication number: 20070240103
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for managing portlets and like applications is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes using Unified Modeling Language (UML) code to describe a flow of a User Interface (UI) application, wherein the flow describes transitions of discrete states in the UI application. The UI application may be a Web application, such as a portlet or a servlet. In another embodiment, the method further includes the steps of using UML code to describe a view of discrete states of the UI application, and applying UML stereotypes to create individual views of the discrete states of the UI application.
