This package must be made available to your Python environment by - adding this directory to your PYTHONPATH environment variable. This makes the sca - module available for use by clients and allows references and properties to be - used in your Python components - </P> - <A NAME="clients"><H3>Clients</H3></A> - <P>Using the sca module, a Python client can search for an SCA service with: - </P> -<PRE>import sca - -calculator = sca.locateservice("CalculatorComponent/CalculatorService") -</PRE> - <P>This finds the component and service as defined in the composite and componentType - side files and returns a proxy object that can call the SCA service. You can then - simply call a business method on "calculator", like this: - </P> -<PRE>result = calculator.add(12.3, 45.6)</PRE> - </P> - <A NAME="components"><H3>Components</H3></A> - <P>Python component implementations are standard Python scripts, where class-level - functions or module-level functions can be invoked by the Tuscany runtime. To - use a Python component implementation, use the implementation.python element in - your .composite file. For example, the following snippet will use the Python script - at path/to/module/PythonModuleName.py, where the path is relative to the location of - the composite file: - </P> -<PRE><implementation.python module="PythonModuleName" path="path/to/module"/> -</PRE> - <P>To instantiate a class instance and use a class-level function, the Python class must - have a default constructor (an __init__ method that takes no arguments besides - 'self') and the class attribute must be defined in the implementation.python element - in your composite, like so: - </P> -<PRE><implementation.python module="PythonModuleName" path="path/to/module" class="PythonClassName"/> -</PRE> - <P>Tuscany currently supports passing simple types (strings, ints, floats, etc) as well - as Service Data Objects into and out of Ruby components. Service Data Objects are represented - in Python as xml.etree.ElementTree Element objects (see the <A HREF="../samples/PythonWeatherForecast/README.html"> - PythonWeatherForecast sample</A> for a demonstration). - </P> - <P>You can write a componentType file for your Python component, but you don't have to - the Python - extension automatically exposes a service and adds references and properties to your Python component - implementation classes based on the information in the composite file. - </P> - - <A NAME="references"><H3>References</H3></A> - <P>References are automatically added to your Python component implementation when - the runtime loads the implementation script, so they can be used like so: - </P> -<PRE># The module-level div function -def div(val1, val2): - # Use the divideService reference - result = divideService.divide(val1, val2) - return result -</PRE> - <P>and in your composite file: - </P> -<PRE><component name="CalculatorComponent"> - <implementation.python module="CalculatorImpl"/> - <reference name="divideService">DivideComponent/DivideService</reference> -</component> -</PRE> - <A NAME="properties"><H3>Properties</H3></A> - <P>A composite with a property defined for a component like so: - </P> -<PRE><component name="DivideComponent"> - <implementation.python module="DivideImpl"/> - <property name="doRounding">true</property> -</component> -</PRE> - <P>means the property is automatically instantiated and assigned the - property value in the Python component implementation, so it can be - used like so: - </P> -<PRE>def divide(val1, val2): - result = float(val1) / float(val2) - print "Python - DivideImpl.divide " + str(val1) + " / " + str(val2) + " = " + str(result) - - # Use the doRounding property - if doRounding: - result = round(result) - print "Python - DivideImpl.divide is rounding the result to " + str(result) - - return result -</PRE> -</P> - </DIV> - - <DIV CLASS="section"> - <A NAME="help"><H2>Getting Help</H2></A> - - <P>First place to look is at the Tuscany FAQ at - <A HREF="http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/faq.html" - TARGET="_blank">http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/faq.html</A> </P> - - <P>Any problem with this release can be reported to the Tuscany - <A HREF="http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/mail-lists.html" - TARGET="_blank">mailing lists</A> or create a JIRA issue at <A HREF="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/Tuscany" - TARGET="_blank">http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/Tuscany</A>.</P> - </DIV> - </DIV> -</DIV> -</BODY> - -</HTML> - |
