What better form to develop a UML model to web service?
I am beginning a new project and a need build a UML model to web service.
There are a couple of profiles available (Google is your friend: "uml profile for web services"). Depending on the tool you use you should use one of those profiles. They offer a couple of stereotyped UML elements that are designed to model web services.

I have an idea of how I can use DRF to enhance an existing Django application. I see in the documentation how the DRF can interact with Djanco routers and even create a custom router.
In most MVC Frameworks the router can route requests from the controller to Model services or to View services. But in Django I read that there really isn't a "controller" per se and the Views ride on the Django infrastructure to connect to the models.
If I wanted to follow a Microservices architecture the the DRF to change the orchestration of dataflow between the views and the models it would seem logical that I would modify the router(s) as the DRF documentation hints at.
A UML Component Diagram or Data Flow Diagram or Sequence Diagram would help a lot.
Thanks.
I have a requirement to build a service endpoint to provide specific Sitecore 8.0 items (containing a given field value in a given branch of the content tree) to requesting mobile app clients. Encapsulating this logic (and perhaps some other calculations, etc) means the out-of-the-box API is not suitable.
I'd like to mimic an existing SOAP service exposed by another CMS, however I'm not above using a modified version of the RESTful itemWebApi if it confers greater code reusability or upgrade-safety.
Based on my research thusfar, it would appear my options are to build a custom handler, a completely separate asmx service (ala this approach), or to build a custom controller (similar to this custom Web API controller method).
Overriding or replacing the default pipeline processors for the itemWebApi does not seem viable, as I don't want to replace/modify the OOB API if I can avoid it.
Has anyone with the same type of requirement for Sitecore 8 found a better approach?
The approach I chose was to create a separate service "router" developed using the adapter pattern to be consumed by our mobile app clients. The router in turn calls the Sitecore ItemWebApi.
This fit my needs the best as it is completely decoupled from the Sitecore application and the client can be modified if necessary without impacting the endpoint.
It would also be worth looking to EntityService within Sitecore.Services.Client in Sitecore 8. Its a Web API based service but has more flexibility over the standard Sitecore Item Web API because you can define your model and the business logic yourself.
I can see you have mention my other blog post on adding a custom Web API controller. Enitity Service is different, it's a framework by Sitecore to achieve a standard way of creating custom web service for Sitecore.
I have written a blog post on EntityService. It has both a Javascript and standard rest based API to communicate with the service too.

I have just created my first token based web API with Django-Rest-Framework and it has worked really well for my mobile applications.
I am about to start creating a website based on Django, but I would like to reuse as much of my API code as possible.
The options I can see are:
Create a basic Django application that consumes my DRF API, would have to add basic auth to my api?
Create a third application which contains all my models and logic and then import the code into the API and website application.
How do you normally approach this kind of code reuse with Django?
This answer is based on my personal approach on the problem, both on industry and academic scenarios.
I value software decoupling. As such, I want to build smaller components, as reusable as possible. While presented with a similar problem, I've built the following components:
Django Rest Framework with authentication based token and complete REST API for all models;
Mobile application that interacts with the server using REST;
Web Application (in my case with AngularJS) that interacts with the application using REST.
This approach allows to have different teams working each on their own (backend, mobile, web). I could enumerate tens of advantages of adopting such approach, but I've paved the way and you can consult literature if needed.
Good luck
Is it possible to create RESTful Web Service using Hibernate in Netbeans 7.4?
I could see wizard to create RESTful Web Service using Persistence, but would like to know how it can be integrated with Hibernate?
Appreciate any help or insight.
Edit 1
I would like to know what I did is the correct method of generating RESTful web services using Hibernate.
First I generated Hibernate Entity classes using NetBeans and then I created RESTful services from Entity classes. So does this creates RESTful Web Services with Hibernate? I could see AbstractFacade classes that is almost like DAO classes
Edit 2
Screen shot for selecting RESTful Web Service from Entity classes
If you want to build a truly RESTful service, you need to build up a link relation architecture. You're going to need more than Hibernate or Netbeans to do that.
I recommend using the milestone Spring Data REST in conjunction with Hibernate's JPA implementation and Spring HATEOAS. See Spring Restbucks as an example which brings all these technologies together.
I want to build an e-commerce application using JSF 2.0. I saw some examples (including the ones that come bundled with NetBeans). In those examples data was stored in some sort of database and was retrieved and queried using SQL. In those examples there was some sort of persistent object in the application. What I want to do is retrieve data from a Restful Web Service and so I will not use SQL at all. My question is: Do I need to include a model section (MVC pattern) in my application having persistent objects or should I just use beans which will directly connect with the web service? How does such an application generally work?
Your REST service would provide some data (JSON, XML), probably it would be handy to map these data to model classes on JSF application side. So in your JSF bean you would connect REST service, map data obtained from it to model classes and then call some bussines logic (that use model classes).
Obviously if the REST service returns single number or string there is no use to create another class just for the sake of architecture. Similarly if you bussiness logic is very simple, it is better to do everything in JSF managed bean class.
