Hi,

Do we need to show a login component even when using JAAS ?

What/who is your authentication provider. You might want to wrap for example LDAP authentication or OS authentication in Login component

Well your solution should mention that you are using JAAS somewhere. If you do not choose to show login details in sequence or component diagrams, you should at least mention these details in the documentation (which I would not recommend).

A short answer would be - yes.

Showing the login component in Component diagram is fine but which component I will show to be dependent upon the login component when using JAAS ?

Is this whole forum full of people hysterically over-reacting to the assignment requirements?

What is with 'solution documentation'? You don't need any. It says in black and white what you need to submit:
-a single class diagram
-a single component diagram
-a sequence/activity diagram for each use case
-a list of assumptions
-an index.html with links to the above.

what is with people including all this other stuff? Authentication documentation? Database schemas? I have seen other people talking about preparing these whole documents to go with the solution.

I have put one single example of re-directing to the 'create profile' and 'log in' use cases on my sequence diagrams. I have not supplied those use cases, it is not in the requirements. This is a J2EE app. You dont need to riddle your code or diagrams with authentication stuff.

Thats not a bad thing. Documenting assumptions with the solution can add clarity. It is up to the candidate to decide what info needs to be added to represent a complete solution.

That should suffice as long as you feel the reviewer can understand your design. Good luck

Thanks for your measured reply John.

Sorry I kind of went off on on with my original post. I do actually think that a lot of people in this forum go way, WAY too far with their submission and go totally over the top. I always thought the whole point was that your design should be obvious from your diagrams, and if it's not then change the diagrams!

there again... i haven't submitted yet.
