The second suite provides a unified modeling language (UML) framework for developers building Windows DNA applications, giving prepackaged Windows DNA design and code templates with round-trip engineering support. The third suite includes a Web modeling solution that reverse-engineers dynamic Web sites consisting of both HTML and Active Server Pages and converts them to visual models. The fourth suite provides round-trip engineering between visual models and XML/document type definitions (DTDs), allowing developers to convert documents into visual models and DTDs into graphical models. The fifth suite provides round-trip engineering between visual models and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) using unified modeling language (UML).
