<P>The Core is designed to be simple and limited in its capabilities. It wires functional units together and provides SPIs that extensions can interact with. Capabilities such as service discovery, reliability, support for transport protocols, etc. are provided through extensions.</P>
<H4><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-Extension"></A><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-ExtensionDefinition"></A> Extension</H4>
<P>Extensions enhance SCA runtime functionality. Extension types are not fixed and core is designed to be as flexible as possible by providing an open-ended extension model. However, there are a number of known extension types defined including:</P>

<UL>
<LI>read phase : This is where you read an artifact (a document, an XML element, classes etc.), populate a model representing the artifact and return it. The SCA contribution service calls ArtifactProcessor.read() on all artifacts that have an ArtifactProcessor registered for them. If your model points to other models, instead of trying to load these other models right away, you should just keep the information representing that reference, which you'll turn into a pointer to the referenced model in the resolve() phase. Note that you don't necessarily need to fully read and populate your model at this point, you can choose to complete it later.</LI>
</UL>

</UL>
<UL>

<UL>
<LI>resolve phase : This phase gives you the opportunity to resolve references to other models (a WSDL, a class, another composite, a componentType).

To understand how wiring works, we need to detail how Components function in the system. Let's start with Atomic Components and then discuss Composite Components.<IMG src="java-sca-architecture-guide.data/runtime-wire.jpg" align="absmiddle" border="0"></P>
<H4><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-AtomicComponent"></A>Atomic Component</H4>
<P>AtomicComponent is the most basic component form. It corresponds to the spec concept which offers services, has references and properties</P>
<UL>
<LI>Implementation types e.g. Java, XSLT, etc.</LI>
<LI>Are wired</LI>
<LI>Have properties</LI>
</UL>
<P>Atomic Components have implementation instances. Instances are associated with a scope: e.g. request, conversation, composite. A SCDL entry is used to define a Component.</P>
<P>Atomic components use a ScopeContainer to manage implementation instances:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Composite, HTTP Session, Request, Stateless</LI>
<LI>ScopeContainers track implementation instances by scope id and the AtomicComponent instance identity</LI>
<LI>Instances are stored in an InstanceWrapper which is specific to the component implementation type (e.g. PojoInstanceWrapper.java)</LI>
</UL>
<H4><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-ComponentWiring"></A>Component Wiring</H4>
<P>Component references are connected to services through wires</P>
<UL>
<LI>Two sides
<UL>
<LI>InboundWire - handles the source side of a wire, including policy</LI>
<LI>OutboundWire - handles the target side of a wire, including policy</LI>
</UL>
</LI>
<LI>The runtime connects inbound and outbound wires, performing optimizations if possible
<UL>
<LI>Inbound and outbound wires may be associated with different service contracts</LI>
<LI>Different implementation types</LI>
<LI>"Standard" wires contain invocation chains that have Interceptors that perform some form of mediation (e.g. policy)</LI>
<LI>Other wire types exist that, for example, do not perform mediations</LI>

A wire has an InvocationChain per service operation. An InvocationChain may have interceptors - "around-style" mediation. Component implementation instances access a wire through a WireInvocationHandler associated with a reference.</P>
<UL>
<LI>WireInvocationHandlers may (or may not depending on the component type) be fronted by a proxy</LI>
<LI>WireInvocationHandlers dispatch an invocation to the correct chain<BR>
A wire has a TargetInvoker that is created from the target side AtomicComponent or Reference and is stored on the source wire invocation handler. The TargetInvoker is resposnible for dispatching the request to the target instance when the message hits the end of the target invocation chain.</LI>

<LI>An invocation is dispatched to the WireInvocationHandler</LI>
<LI>The WireInvocationHandler looks up the correct InvocationChain</LI>
<LI>It then creates a message, sets the payload, sets the TargetInvoker, and passes the message down the chain</LI>
<LI>When the message reaches the end of the chain, the TargetInvoker is called, which in turn is responsible for dispatching to the target</LI>
<LI>Having the TargetInvoker stored on the outbound side allows it to cache the target instance when the wire source has a scope of equal or lesser value than the target (e.g. request-->composite</LI>
</UL>
<P>The runtime provides components with InboundWires and OutboundWires. InvocationChains are held in component wires and are therefore stateless which allows for dynamic behavior such as introduction of new interceptors or re-wiring.</P>

<H4><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-ArtifactProcessor"></A>Artifact Processor</H4>
<P>Artifact processors are responsible for processing each artifact available in a contribution package, these processors are going to be invoked in two phases</P>
<UL>
<LI>read phase : This is where you read an artifact (a document, an XML element, classes etc.), populate a model representing the artifact and return it. The SCA contribution service calls ArtifactProcessor.read() on all artifacts that have an ArtifactProcessor registered for them. If your model points to other models, instead of trying to load these other models right away, you should just keep the information representing that reference, which you'll turn into a pointer to the referenced model in the resolve() phase. Note that you don't necessarily need to fully read and populate your model at this point, you can choose to complete it later.</LI>
</UL>
<UL>
<LI>resolve phase : This phase gives you the opportunity to resolve references to other models (a WSDL, a class, another composite, a componentType). At this point, all models representing the artifacts in your SCA contribution have been read, registered in the contribution's ArtifactResolver, and are ready to be resolved.</LI>

<H3><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-LoadingJavaSCA"></A>Loading Java SCA</H3>
<P>SCA service assemblies are deployed to the SCA domain in the format of SCDL files. Tuscany runtime artifact processor loads the SCDLs into model objects which are a set of java beans to hold the metadata.</P>
<P>There are two types of loaders:</P>
<UL>
<LI>StAXElementLoader: Load the XML element from the StAX events</LI>
<LI>ComponentTypeLoader: Load the Component Type for an implementation either by introspection or paring a side file</LI>
</UL>
<H3><A name="JavaSCAArchitectureGuide-LoadingComponentType"></A>Loading Component Type</H3>
<P>Loads the component type definition for a specific implementation</P>
<UL>
<LI>How it does this is implementation-specific</LI>
<LI>May load XML sidefile (location set by implementation)</LI>
<LI>May introspect an implementation artifact (e.g. Java annotations)</LI>
<LI>... or anything else</LI>
</UL>
<P>Loading Composite ComponentType Loader</P>
<UL>
<LI>Load SCDL from supplied URL</LI>
<LI>Extract and load SCDL from composite package</LI>
</UL>
<P>POJO ComponentType Loader</P>
<UL>
<LI>Introspect Java annotations</LI>
<LI>Uses a pluggable "annotation processing" framework to introspect Java classes</LI>
