Sequence Diagram for Ebay Scenario


I was wondering if anyone could help me? I basically need a basic sequence diagram to satisfy the scenario listed below, but have never done one more before and don't know where to start. I really need it SAP so if anyone could help, I'd really really appreciate it.

Scenario:

A real-life example of a client-server relation could be the following: A user connecting to eBay at www.ebay.com - the Website provides a cluser of high-powered machines optimised to service requests from the Internet, i.e. servers. On the other side, the user connecting to eBay will be using a machine that is providing no services to anyone else on the Internet. This therefore can be termed a client

Why do you need it asap? Is it for a course you are doing?

If so, asking others to do it for you means you wont understand it yourself, and wont learn anything, which kind of defeats the purpose of the course, if thats what it is.

Hey,

Well basically I am doing a final year project for Computer Networking on Web server optimisation and configuration. My supervisor read the final draft for me today (its in on Friday) and said all was good but I needed to include a sequence diagram for the scenario I put in my post.

Sorry if I didnt explain clearly... I DO understand the concept of sequence diagrams and how they related with UML, but

#1 I don't have software such as Visio to do this
#2 I have to spend time on other areas of the report

Hope that clarifies.

Amish

In the real world though, when a deadline is aproaching, you cant rely on others, you have to do it yourself.

Why would you need software to draw a diagram, whats wrong with a pencil and paper, or ms paint?

The two sets of reasons differ greatly.......

I can put my hand on heart and say I dont understand UML or anyother stick figure type diagrams, I have had degree holders draw them for me in the past, but I just kindof smiled and said yes Brian, thats nice, then went of and wrote something that worked.......

One day, when you have your degree, and have a good job, you will probably be called upon to use a diagram like that, and trust me, if you your not able to knock one up in seconds of the top of your head, on paper, then no developer is likely to take you seriously.

Its worth doing it yourself, google is useful, and your supervisor is there to help.

No pain no gain as they say..... and its only monday so you do have plenty of time.

Plus at the end of the day, you can hold your head up and say you earned the degree, instead of getting someone else to help........

Just my way of thinking, if your really stuck, Im sure someone will help out.

I appreciate your sentiments but firstly, I will not be getting a job in development as I am awful in the area to be frank. Secondly, I will hold my head up high and say Ive earned my degree regardless of what classification I come out with as Ive worked my *** off.

I cant just do a sequence diagram in paint or draw it - this is for a dissertation, it has to be top quality work presented in a professional manner.

All that said, I would like still like help if anyone is there to offer... and Ken - I completely understood where you were coming from with your points. No hard feelings.
