This enables remote web browser clients to easily make RPC style calls to server-side SCA components and for server-side SCA components to easily make <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">COMET</A> / <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Ajax" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Reverse Ajax</A> style requests to web browser clients.</P> + +<P>This binding has no attributes or elements so to include it on a SCA service or reference simply requires the following SCDL:</P> + +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> + <binding.ajax/> +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<P>Also see <A href="sca-java-bindingjsonrpc.html" title="SCA Java binding.jsonrpc"><binding.jsonrpc</A> which provides some similar function.</P> + +<P>In order for a web browser client to interact with SCA services and references which use <binding.ajax> it needs to included a Tuscany runtime scaDomain.js script which will initialize the SCA enviroment and provides control functions. This script is dynamically generated to include </P> + +<P>A web browser client needs to include a Tuscany runtime system script in its HTML page before it can interact with SCA services and references which use <binding.ajax>. This is done by simply including the following script tag within the HTML page:</P> + +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> + <script type=<SPAN class="code-quote">"text/javascript"</SPAN> src=<SPAN class="code-quote">"SCA/SCADomain/scaDomain.js"</SPAN> /> +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<P>This creates proxy objects for the SCA services which can then be used make requests to the server-side components. For example, if there was a service named "myService" using <binding.ajax> which had operations "aOnewayRequest" and "anRpcRequest" the scripts in the HTML page could now invoke these opperations with the following:</P> + +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +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"> +myService.anRpcRequest(args, responseFunction); +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<P>In the 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 "answer = myService.anRpcRequest(args)" to avoid hanging the browser while the (potentialy 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"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +function responseFunction(answer){ + <SPAN class="code-comment">// <SPAN class="code-keyword">do</SPAN> something with answer +</SPAN>} +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<P>For SCA references using <binding.ajax> a function needs to be written to handle each operation that may be called by the reference. The operations used by the reference cannot return any response but must be one-way style operations. As an example, if there is an SCA reference named "myReference" which has an operation named "foo" then the client side function required would be:</P> +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +myReference.foo = function(args) { + <SPAN class="code-comment">// <SPAN class="code-keyword">do</SPAN> something with args +</SPAN>} +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<P>SCA references using <binding.ajax> require a communication channel between the server-side Tuscany runtime and the remote web browser client. This channel can be explicitly opened and closed by the client, and it must be opened before any client side function assoicated with a SCA reference will be invoked. This is done with:</P> +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +scaDomain.open(); +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> +<P>and</P> +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +scaDomain.close(); +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> +<P>The connection is automatically closed when the web page is closed so if the client does not need fine grain control the 'onLoad' of the HTML body element can be used to establish the connection, for example:</P> +<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent"> +<PRE class="code-java"> +<body onLoad=<SPAN class="code-quote">"scaDomain.open()"</SPAN>> +</PRE> +</DIV></DIV> + +<H4><A name="SCAJavabinding.ajax-Someexamples%3A"></A>Some examples:</H4> + +<P>See the <A href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/samples/chat-webapp/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">chat-webapp</A> sample in the Tuscany SCA samples folder for an example of using <binding.ajax></P> + +<DIV class="panelMacro"><TABLE class="infoMacro"><COLGROUP><COL width="24"><COL></COLGROUP><TR><TD valign="top"><IMG src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/emoticons/information.gif" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></TD><TD><B>Differences between <binding.jsonrpc> and <binding.ajax></B><BR>The current Tuscany SCA runtime supports <binding.jsonrpc> and <binding.ajax> which provide similar functionality.
