Unit 3 Topics Covered

Complete syllabus-based topics of CS701 Software Architecture Unit 3.

Software Architecture Implementation Technologies

Implementation technologies help convert architecture design into working enterprise applications.

Architecture Description Languages

ADLs are formal languages used to describe software architecture, including components, connectors, interfaces and configurations.

Need of ADLs

ADLs help in architecture documentation, analysis, communication, validation and reuse.

Struts

Struts is a Java-based web application framework that follows MVC architecture for enterprise applications.

Hibernate

Hibernate is an Object Relational Mapping framework used to connect Java applications with databases.

Node JS

Node JS is a server-side JavaScript runtime used to build scalable network and web applications.

Angular JS

Angular JS is a front-end JavaScript framework used to build dynamic single-page applications.

J2EE

J2EE is a Java enterprise platform used for developing distributed, scalable and secure enterprise applications.

JSP

Java Server Pages are used to create dynamic web pages using Java code embedded in HTML.

Servlets

Servlets are Java programs that run on a server and handle client requests and responses.

EJB

Enterprise Java Beans provide business logic components for scalable and distributed enterprise applications.

JDBC

Java Database Connectivity is used to connect Java applications with relational databases.

JNDI

Java Naming and Directory Interface provides naming and directory services for Java applications.

JMS

Java Message Service supports asynchronous communication between distributed software components.

RMI

Remote Method Invocation allows Java objects to call methods on objects located on remote machines.

CORBA

Common Object Request Broker Architecture enables communication between distributed objects across different languages and platforms.

Role of UML in Software Architecture

UML helps represent software architecture using diagrams such as class, component, deployment and sequence diagrams.

Quick Concept: ADL

ADL: Architecture Description Language is used to describe the structure of a software system.

It describes: Components, connectors, interfaces, constraints and configurations.

Simple Meaning: ADL software architecture ko formally describe karne ka language/tool hota hai.
