Question on relation between a SLSB, DAO and dependent POJO object

[Madhu Maniganta]

I have a question on relationship between a SLSB, DAO and dependent POJO object. For example during checkout process of an online application the user enters credit card and goes through the payment process. Say the classes are PaymentSLSB, PaymentDAO and Payment (POJO), in the UML should we show :
(i) PaymentSLSB--->PaymentDAO and PaymentSLSB--->Payment (POJO)
(ii)PaymentSLSB--->PaymentDAO-->Payment (POJO)

Because PaymentSLSB calls PaymentDAO and both of them Payment POJO, I am confused about dependency.

Also do we show DAO's in the class diagram? for example PaymentDAO above?

You should so any classes used in your sequence diagram in your class diagram. So yes, the DAO needs to be in the class diagram.

Option 2 sounds more accurate.

Jeanne,
I too thought of showing DAOs in my class diagram, but was confused after looking at Cade's Chapter 9 example, coz there DAOs are NOT in class diagram but are present in Component and Sequence Diagrams. What do you think?
Thanks,
Madhu

Anything shows in Sequence Diagram must show in class diagram.

Madhu,
I think leaving things out of the class diagram is asking for trouble.
