Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product
direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise,

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks
in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will
experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the
amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an
individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

Design Challenges

Design is a key phase of the software and systems
lifecycle. Our clients successfully use Rhapsody and
RSA today to:
– Simplify application and systems complexity
– Identify issues and defects early in the lifecycle when they are cheapest to fix
– Document and communicate to stakeholders

However design tools often focus on the individual and lack team integration
– Teams cannot easily share designs and get feedback from stakeholders
– Linking designs to other lifecycle artifacts is difficult, leading to a lack of traceability and
understanding of the impact of changes
– Difficult to link designs created by different tools
– It takes too much time to create reports across multiple designs and lifecycle elements for
specifications, communication, regulatory compliance, and auditing
– Many development teams work in silos, which limits the value the designs they provide to
other teams and the organization

Benefits
• Direct editing of designs and change control on server providing a more simplified environment
• Change control (locking, history) at the model resource level providing more granularity and
• No duplication or design synchronization issues
• Use of SCM still available for users who need more powerful change control capabilities

RSA Spring Framework Support
 Provide modeling and transformation of Spring
Framework v2.5 – 3.0.6.
 Supported Spring Modules (Profiles):
– Core
– MVC
– Transaction
 RSA Supports Spring Core bean definitions for Spring
Container configuration file
 RSA supports Context annotations for Spring and
annotated classes for Component, Configuration and
Service can be defined with Autowired, Required and
Value annotations
 Spring Transaction supports Repository definition with
Transactional Operation details

Spring Application Development Framework Reference Documentation: http://springsource.org



Spring MVC Model Designing
 Spring MVC models can be designed as an Activity Flow
 RSA supports designing of MVC models with Controller
beans and annotations
 Core model Library supports Spring defined beans for
Dispatcher Servlet, Controller, Handler Mapping, View
Resolver, Theme Resolver, Locale Resolver etc.



Transformation of Spring Models
 Spring Models can be transformed to Dynamic Web Projects
 UML classes of Spring model are transformed to java classes with required annotations and
import statements
 Spring beans and their properties are transformed to configuration file for Spring container
 Spring MVC Activity Flow is transformed to Java classes and configuration file



Hibernate Framework Support in RSA

 Provide modeling and transformation support for Hibernate Framework v3.5 & 3.6
 Transformation support to generate hibernate-annotated Java code and hibernate configuration
and mapping file(deployment descriptor).
 Reverse transform support to generate the Hibernate model from either annotated source files
or deployment descriptors.
 The hibernate modeling and transforms support includes modeling elements from Java
persistence API also.
 Hibernate support in RSA 8.5 includes Entity and related elements, inheritance support,
associations, identifier and properties, queries and custom-SQL.

Hibernate Reference Documentation: http://www.hibernate.org/docs
Hibernate tools for eclipse/RSA are available http://www.hibernate.org/subprojects/tools.html



Hibernate Modeling Toolset

 Modeling toolset now includes a Hibernate
profile, model templates, palette entries,
content menus and property page
enhancements.
 Entities can be built-up from scratch or
mapped to an existing table from a database.



Hibernate Transformation

 UML to Hibernate transformation generates annotated code and the hibernate mapping file

 The 'properties' tab of the configuration can be used to configure the transform



Hibernate Transformation

 The Hibernate-to-model (reverse) transform can be configured to generate hibernate-model
from either:
– the annotated Java source code

– the hibernate mapping file (deployment descriptor)



Struts2 Modeling Toolset
• Modeling toolset now includes a Struts 2 profile, model
template, palette entries, context menus, wizards and
property page enhancements
• Model structural view (Views, Controllers, Interceptors)
using Class diagram
• Model navigation flows using Activity diagram



Struts2 Transform
XML Generation

Annotation Generation



Other new features of RSA 8.5

 Java 7 visualization and round-trip support
 Re-worked MQ support in deployment topologies
 Visio Import ( class, use case and network diagrams)
 Navigate to diagram from PE
 Generate diagram ( based on model analysis rules)
 Design Manager
– Lifecycle traceability
– Impact analysis diagrams
– Document management
– Web based sketching



Agenda

– Save time with model reuse
– Simplify team working

– Simplify web development with the new web page designer
