Component Toolbox
The 'Component' pages of the Diagram Toolbox provide model elements that you can use to model the physical components of your system in a Component diagram. The 'Component' pages contain elements and connectors related to the actual building of the system - the components that make up the system (such as ActiveX DLLs or Java beans), the Interfaces they expose and the dependencies between those elements.
A component is a piece of hardware or software that makes up the system; for example, a DLL or a Web Server are components that might be deployed on a Windows 2000 Server (Node).

Except where discussed here, each element and relationship that you can create using these Toolbox pages is described in the UML Elements and UML Connectors sections of the Help. A Packaging Component is an element that appears very similar to a Component in a diagram but behaves as a Package in the Browser window. |
