Sequence Diagrams for WCF applications

[Naveen Raina]

Hi,
 
I am working on Enterprise Architect for a while now. I am facing challenges in creating sequence diagrams for my Client Server applications. Here is what I want to do:

I have a windows application (VB.NET application) acting as a client and another console application acting as Server (VB.NET application). WCF is used for communication between the client and server.

I want to create sequence diagram for an action taking place on client all the way to Server. I imported the code for Client and Server in two EAP projects and was able to set breakpoints. But the sequence diagrams I can create are two- one for the events taking place on client and other for events taking place on Server. Is there a way I can get just one sequence diagram for one client server transaction?
 
Thanks
Naveen

Hello....

Do you mean like merging the two, presumably co-ordinated over time. Or comparing expected with observed?

There was a rational tool ( possible rational realtime Tester ) that enabled the later...

Can you insert Trace facilties into the code base.

How do you trace messages in sequence diagrams... manual visual inspection.

If it was an activity diagram, then ya'd just green up the shadow border... green up the message line;  Is that a Time Diagram Event?

Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. Actually I want to merge the sequence diagrams from two applications communicating with each other.

Thanks,
Naveen
