<P>The SCA Java runtime is composed of a <EM>kernel</EM> and extensions. The kernel is essentially a multi-VM wiring engine that connects components together using the principles of <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">Dependency Injection<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/linkext7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN>, or <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">Inversion of Control<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/linkext7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN>.</P>
<H3><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-"></A><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-KernelDefinition"></A><FONT color="#0099cc">Kernel</FONT></H3>
<P>The kernel is designed to be simple and limited in its capabilities: it wires functional units together. Capabilities such as service discovery, reliability, support for transport protocols, etc. are provided through extensions. The kernel extension model is based on the SCA 1.0 Java programming and assembly model. In otherwords, the kernel uses SCA to bootstrap itself. The mechanics of how this is done are described in detail in <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="java-sca-kernel-architecture-guide.html" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">Kernel Architecture Guide<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/linkext7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN>. </P>
<P>The kernel is divided into a number of modules: <EM>api</EM>, <EM>host_api</EM>, <EM>spi</EM> and <EM>core</EM>. The <EM>api</EM> module defines Tuscany proprietary programming model annotations and APIs. The <EM>host_api</EM> module defines APIs for interacting with the kernel. The <EM>spi</EM> module defines extension points and abstract helper classes. The <EM>core</EM> module contains the kernel implementation. </P>
<H3><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-"></A><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-ExtensionDefinition"></A><FONT color="#0099cc">Extension</FONT></H3>
<P>Extensions enhance the kernel with specific sets of functionality. Extension types are not fixed and the kernel is designed to be as flexible as possible by providing an open-ended extension model. From the kernel perspective, extensions are just a set of SCA components. However, there are a number of known extension types defined by the <EM>spi</EM> module, including:</P>
<UL>
<LI><B>Component implementation types</B>, e.g. Spring, Groovy, and JavaScript</LI>
<LI><B>Binding types</B>, e.g. Axis, CXF, AMQP, ActiveMQ, JXTA</LI>
<LI><B>DataBinding types</B>, e.g. JAXB, SDO, XmlBeans</LI>
</UL>
<P>There are also a number of add-on extensions that do not correspond to a well-know type:</P>
<UL>
<LI>The JPA extension for O/R mapping</LI>
<LI>The Geronimo Transaction Manager extension for transactional support in the runtime</LI>
<LI>The HOWL-based Persistent Store extension for high-throughput persistence of conversational state</LI>
</UL>
<P>More detail can be found in the <A href="java-sca-extension-guide.html" title="Java SCA Extension Guide">Extensions Guide</A>.</P>
<H3><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-"></A><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureOverview-RuntimeDefinition"></A><FONT color="#0099cc">Runtime</FONT></H3>
<P>The kernel is designed to be embedded in, or provisioned to, a number of different host environments. For example, the kernel may be provisioned to an OSGi container, a standalone runtime, a servlet engine, or JEE application server. There is even a Maven runtime that embeds kernel for integration testing. Runtime capabilities may vary based on the host environment. </P>

<P>Data provides transparent data mapping between different types of data that can be exchanged between caller of a service and the service itself given the format of the data that will be supplied by the client. Data Mediator will do this transformation given the following information:</P>
<OL>
<LI>format of the data that can be consumed by the service</LI>
