hi
In my project I have a 3 tier architecture. One is the client,server and the firewall.
1)My task is to monitor data from the firewall that is every say 30 seconds
2)So the data from the firewall is dynamic
3)The actor clicks a button which then it should contact server which in turn contacts firewall to get data
4)now im actually modelling sequence diagrams
5)here my actor is administrator
6)boundary object is my gui client
7)business object or entity object is in the server
8)Now I im maintaing a
thread in the server which collects data from the firewall
9)Im making a socket object and a log object to hold the transient data from firewall
10)client first makes a socket connection to server
11server makes a connection to firewall
12)Now the thread runs and collects data
13)Can i put the objects thread,socket and log in one class
14)the thread and socket shud close when actor clicks stop on the GUI
here is there a necessity of controller.
bye
