Reverse Engineer to UML?

[Tobias Parent]

Hey, all -
I've got a Cake app I wrote a while back, and now the client has asked
for a UML diagram, to present to their new in-house IT guy. I, however,
never generated UML diagrams on it back then, and I need to
reverse-engineer one now (I've forgotten some of what I did for them, as
I haven't worked on that app in a good long while).

Any ideas or suggestions for a quick way of automagically doing
something like this?

Thanks!
-Toby

mysql workbench (used to be dbdesigner 4) is (afaik) still alpha but
can already do this.
However, it doesn't know about cakes conventions about key naming, so
unless you explicity specify foreign keys in your sql ddl it won't
create the associations.

This is only for the Database - I think Toby also wants it for the classes

phpEdit can do the reverse for some years now that is UML to PHP and
there were talks about PHP to UML as well... check out
http://waterproof.fr (or google if I got the url wrong :) )

Take the UML editor of your choice, add for every model a class, and
last but not least add the relations between those models. And you
have your UML diagram.

Yeah, I get how to make a UML diagram, and I know it's easy - but we're
talking a massive number of tables in MySQL, and multiple public/private
functions in my controllers. I was actually thinking it'd be trivial to
create a meta-app that'd scan my app folder and generate, much like
bake.php does, an XML file that I can import into Visio (for example),
to automake a UML class diagram. One including the model and controller
data.

I appreciate the suggestions, but time draws short, so I guess I'll be
hand-writing the silly thing. Visio won't even recognize my MySQL
connection... ech.

Regards!
