Modelling Question

Hi,
This is a more general question about modelling rather than a specific question about the exam.
I am currently using StartUML which promted an interesting question.
When you create a new project in StarUML you can choose various UML approaches: RUP,

RUP has four views:
1. Use Case View
2. Logical View
3. Component View
4. Deployment View

I am a bit confuses as to the exact difference betwene Logical View and Component View:
- Which has more detail?
- Where should I put my class diagram? (Star UML allows a class diagram to be defined in either).

Another approach is the 4 + 1 approach. This has five views:

1. Scenarios
2. Logical View
3. Development View
4. Process View
5. Physical View

The other approaches are: UML components (which has two views, Requirements and Specifications), Default (this has Use Case Model, Analysis Model, Design Model, Implementation Model, Deployment Model) and then there's just a blank project.

So another abvious question is currently which approach has the most traction in the industry?

Thanks

From the RUP point of view, a logical view is for:

* Class diagrams (Classes, Interfaces, Associations, Packages)
* Sequence diagrams
* Collaboration diagrams
* State diagrams

and a component view is for:

* Component diagrams (Interfaces, Components)
* Package diagrams

Interesting. So this is just a shortcoming of star UML then - allowing you to add class diagrams to your logical view.

Have you got a good link for what you are saying?

About component view I don't have a good link

This is interesting. This is the 4+1 approach as opposed to RUP.
So are you a 4+ 1 architect?
Discuss...

Note found another good link here on 4 + 1

Hehe, no I'm not, but I think it's very interesting know about different approaches.
