<P>You could use this binding without any configuration, or by providing a specific service URI. <BR>
To include it on a SCA service or Reference, choose one of the examples below :</P>

<H3><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-ConsumingJSONRPCservicesontheclientapplication"></A>Consuming JSON-RPC services on the client application</H3>

<P>Any JSON-RPC client may be used to access SCA services which use &lt;binding.jsonrpc&gt;, below we are going to describe different ways you could consume the Tuscany JSON-RPC services in your client application.</P>

<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-UtilizingTuscanyImplementation.widget"></A>Utilizing Tuscany Implementation.widget</H4>

<P>When your web client application is defined as an SCA component utilizing <A href="sca-java-implementationwidget.html" title="SCA Java implementation.widget">Tuscany Widgets</A>, a JavaScript is generated which may be included within an HTML document to properly inject services references to SCA references defined on the same HTML document.</P>

<P>This script is used by simply including the following tag within the HTML page :</P>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
&lt;script type=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;text/javascript&quot;</SPAN> src=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;html-page-name.js&quot;</SPAN> /&gt;
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<P>This initializes the proxys for the SCA services which can then be injected into SCA references to make requests to the server-side components. For example, if there was a service named &quot;myService&quot; which had operations &quot;aOnewayRequest&quot; and &quot;anRpcRequest&quot; the scripts in the HTML page could now invoke these operations with the following:</P>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
<SPAN class="code-comment">//@Reference
</SPAN><SPAN class="code-keyword">var</SPAN> myService = <SPAN class="code-keyword">new</SPAN> Reference(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;myService&quot;</SPAN>);
myService.aOnewayRequest(args);
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>
<P>or</P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
<SPAN class="code-comment">//@Reference
</SPAN><SPAN class="code-keyword">var</SPAN> myService = <SPAN class="code-keyword">new</SPAN> JSONRpcClient(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;myService&quot;</SPAN>);
myService.anRpcRequest(args, responseFunction);
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<P>Also see <A href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=TUSCANYxDOCx2x&title=SCA%2BJava%2Bimplementation.widget&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=5964964" class="createlink">Tuscany Widgets</A> for more details.</P>

<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-UtilizingaJavaScriptClientProxy"></A>Utilizing a JavaScript Client Proxy</H4>

<P>To simplify the task for web browsers developers Tuscany provides a 'binding-jsonrpc.js&quot; JavaScript client proxy code that can be included in your application. </P>

<P>After copying the script to your application, it can be used bu simply including the following tag within the HTML page :</P>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
&lt;script type=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;text/javascript&quot;</SPAN> src=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;binding-jsonrpc.js&quot;</SPAN> /&gt;
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<P>This initializes the proxys for the SCA services which can then be used make requests to the server-side components. Based on the scenario described above, below are the to invoke these operations.</P>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
<SPAN class="code-keyword">var</SPAN> myService = <SPAN class="code-keyword">new</SPAN> JSONRpcClient(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;Catalog&quot;</SPAN>).service;

</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-HandlingJSONRPCResponsewithcallbacks"></A>Handling JSON-RPC Response with callbacks</H4>

<P>In that example 'responseFunction' is the name of a function which is called to process the response and which gets called asynchronously on another thread when the response is avaialble. RPC requests are done this way instead of the simpler &quot;answer = myService.anRpcRequest(args)&quot; to avoid hanging the browser while the (potentially slow) request is being processed. An example of the responseFunction for the previous example is:</P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">

<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-UsingSCAJSONRPCserviceswithDojo"></A>Using SCA JSON-RPC services with Dojo</H4>

<P>Apache Tuscany JSON-RPC services provide built-in support for <A href="http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/WikiHome/DojoDotBook/Book9" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Dojo RPC</A>. The <A href="http://dojotoolkit.org/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Dojo</A> toolkit is a popular framework for writing Ajax/Web 2.0 style browser client applications. Tuscany SCA services which use &lt;binding.jsonrpc&gt; will by default support  the <A href="http://dojo.jot.com/SMD" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Simple Method Description (SMD) </A> protocol. SMD is similar to ?wsdl for Web services, entering a service endpoint appended with ?smd will return a SMD descriptor for the service. </P>

<P>Using Tuscany SCA services with Dojo can therefore be as simple as the following:</P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
  <SPAN class="code-keyword">var</SPAN> myService = <SPAN class="code-keyword">new</SPAN> dojo.rpc.JsonService(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;myService?smd&quot;</SPAN>);
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.jsonrpc-Supporteddatatypes"></A>Supported data types</H4>

<P>The JSON-RPC binding utilize the Databinding Framework to provide support for the following data transformations :</P>

<UL>
