Hello,
I am trying to identify the sequence of steps that would be involved in a ORM/UML process.
I am involved in a Object To Relational Technology project in the J2EE world and trying to come up with a better way to design my persistence layer in java.
Given my "entities" are not dumb entities i.e. they have behavior how can I combine the benefits of ORM & UML together ?
UML does not enforce constraints that ORM does but it has a natural sequence of steps from gathering requirements, to capturing use cases, etc.

How can I combine the benefits of both worlds ?
Regards,
Aswin.
