Other Information

According to Sun's documentation. The Web Application Framework (waf) and the Components are intended to be a layer below <

Sample Application Design. Figure 11.

Nevertheless this is not what happens in the code. <

From Sun's documentation we get another diagram to analyze:

Source: Figure 11.6 Functional Modules for the Sample Application Web Site.

This figure is difficult to understand. If the rounded boxes are modules, how does the Site Home Page work with them? Does the user interact with the User Interface but not the Site Home Page? Is the user considered a module? What do the arrow mean? What does the square box mean and what are its contents? Besides this observations, the code maps only partially does not seem to map the modules: Product catalog, Sign On, Customer and Order Message are only some of the components in the application (actually there are more incorrections in this figure that will be dealt with in the Runtime view and the Data Model view).
