1) Two components are implemented by the same composite
 
Path a: Composite1.ComponentB is implemented by Composite3
Path b: Composite2.ComponentD is implemented by Composite3
 
The service/reference can be promoted to different things:
 
a: the final target for the ComponentF.Reference1 is Composite1.ComponentA
b: the final target for the ComponentF.Reference1 is Composite1.Reference1 (pointing to an external service)
 
The property can be set to different value following different composition path:
 
a: Composite3.ComponentE.Property1 is overrided by Composite1.ComponentB.Property1 (say value="ABC")
b: Composite3.ComponentE.Property1 is overrided by Composite2.ComponentD.Property1 (say value="XYZ")
 
To represent the fully-configured components, we need to clone the model for Composite3 for Path a and b so that it can be used to hold different resolved values.

Runtime Wires

Hi,

I'm trying to indentify all the paths of SCA component interactions which
require to have runtime wires/invocation chains.

By the SCA spec, there are three cases for the wiring:

1) Component.Reference (A.ref1) -is wired to-> Component.Service (B.svc1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1) If both the service and reference are defined by non-composite
components, then the runtime wire is as simple as A.ref1-->B.svc1.

1.2) If the service is defined on a composite component, then it can be
further resolved to the orginal atomic component service following the
service promotion chain.

For example, A.ref1 --> B.svc1 (B is implemented by another composite and
B.svc1 promotes C.svc1), then the runtime wire will be: A.ref1 --> C.svc1

1.3) If the reference is defined on a composite component, then it can be
further resolved to the orginal atomic component reference following the
reference promotion chain.

For example, A.ref1 --> B.svc1 (A is implemented by another composite and
A.ref1 promotes C.ref1), then the runtime wire will be: C.ref1 --> B.svc1

2) Composite.Reference (Composite1.ref1) -promotes-> Component.Reference
(B.ref1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Composite1 is the top-level composite, and the B is a non-composite
component, then the runtime wire will be: B.ref1 --> Composite1.ref1

If Composite1 is used to implement a component A in Composite2, then we need
to futher check if A.ref1 is promoted or wired until we hit the end of the
promotion chain. The final target will be either a composite reference or a
component service that the out-most reference is wired to. For example, if
A.ref1 is wired to D.svc1 in Composite2, then the runtime wire is B.ref1 -->
D.svc1. If A.ref1 is promoted by Composite2.ref1, then the runtime wire is
B.ref1 --> Composite2.ref1.

If B is a composite component, then we need to find out the final component
reference that B.ref1 promotes. For example, it promotes D.ref1, then the
runtime wire is D.ref1 --> C.ref1

3) Composite.Service (Composite1.svc1) -promotes-> Component.Service
(A.svc1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The source will be the outmost service on the promotion chain. For example,
if Composite2.svc1 promotes B.svc1 and B is implemented by Composite1, then
it is Composite2.svc1.

The target will be the innermost service on the promotion chain. For
example, if A is implemented by Composite3 and Composite3.svc1 promotes
C.svc1, then it is C.svc1.

  • Please note, due to the spec limitation, the composite service cannot
    promote a composite reference directly.

Based on the above scenarios, it seems that we can create runtime wires
using the following algorithm (assuming multiplicity = 1..1). The key is to
get a final list of targets and selected bindings.

1) Runtime wire for references: For each of the references (r1) on
non-composite components, find the outmost reference (r0) on the reference
promotion chain. Then get the targets and selected bindings from r0. If SCA
binding is used for a target, it can be further optimized to use the
orginally promoted component service. The runtime wire should be created
between the r1 and a target (either a component service with SCA binding or
a reference binding) from r0.

2) Runtime wire for service promotions: For each of the service1 (s1) on
non-composite components, find the outmost service (s0, can be the same as
s1) on the service promotion chain. Create a runtime wire between the
selected binding of s0 and the component that defines s1. (Can we assume
that s1 is always local to s0?)

The service/reference promotions make the picture complicated. I hope my
thought makes sense.

Thanks,
Raymond
