Typical uml diagram for showing events

问题

I have a couple modules. They communicate to each other through events.

What UML diagram would typically be used to show this?

Is there a non uml diagram people use?

Any examples?

回答1:

I think you definitely want a sequence diagram to show all the event interaction between modules in sequence. This is the preferred way to represent sequence of asynchronous messages between components

If you want to express the fact that a module A fires an event E that is handled by module B, I suggest a static diagram to show the structure of your architecture.

In particular, I would use a class diagram where I could draw:

• the modules A and B (classes with a stereotype)
• the event E (i.e. still a class with the stereotype event)
• an association named subscribe between B and E
• an association named publish between A and E.

In general you want to use a "behavioral" diagram(s). There are multiple flavors. Which one you choose depends on the intent of what a given diagram wants to convey.
