How to Use Customized Type in Object Relational Mapping
/1 Comment/in Database Design, Hibernate /by Visual Paradigm TeamWhen defining class model for your persistent layer, a class is defined as part of the static data model instead of controller or user interface items. And the class is directly mapped to table(s) in your database. As the class is mapped to tables, its attributes is also mapped to columns in table. In order to make the mapping work, you have to model attributes with primitive types like integer, boolean, String, etc. You cannot model the attribute as any other types which are not compatible with database.

How to Show All Levels of Preview Shapes
/44 Comments/in Business Process Modeling, UML /by Visual Paradigm TeamWhen one shape is nested inside another, such as sub-process, its content (shapes) inside would show along with what’s outside in diagram at the same time. For example, if a sub-process is not composed of any other sub-processes, it will appear in business process diagram, with the shapes (e.g. tasks) that make it up inside itself. However, the viewing works up to one level of nesting only by default.
