This is a pretty complicated task. There is an open source portal called Jetspeed at http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/index.htmlYou might want to see how they did it.

> can u please help me how to proceed after drawing use cases

After completing your Use-Cases.

1) you should be able to use each Use-Case to draw a domain diagram.

2) Use your Domain diagram & Use-Cases to to prepare your Sequence Diagrams.

3) Use the Sequence Diagrams to turn your Domain diagram into a Class diagram.

4) Rinse, Repeat for all
