<P>Extension is a module (or a set of modules),when built with Tuscany SCA, can extend it to work with additional bindings, language implementations, programming models or databindings.</P>
<P>SCA assembly model is defined such that extensions can be added for new interface types or for new implementation types such as ruby and python, or new binding types such as CXF. However, the definition of extension SPIs is left to the implementor. Tuscany SCA Java provides a simple set of SPIs for implementing extensions. It also defines additional extension points such as data binding, for example support for SDO and JAXB.</P>
<P>This guide explains the steps to add each of these extension types. Please help us refine the guide as you go through the steps of adding extensions.</P>

<LI>Familiarize yourself with SCA 1.0 Assembly and the SCA Java 1.0 programming model. Specifications can be found at www.osoa.org.</LI>
<LI>Never reference any classes in core. These classes are implementation-specific and subject to change; they are not part of the public SPI contract.</LI>
<LI>Use autowire when assembling extension components.</LI>
<LI>Do not play with classloaders such as setting the current context classloader unless it is absolutely necessary, i.e. a library used by an extension makes assumptions about context classloaders. Ideally the library can be refactored to not make these assumptions. If not, make sure the extension properly resets the current context classloader.</LI>

<P>The ModuleActivator represents a module that plugs into the Tuscany system.<BR>
Each module should provide an implementation <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=TUSCANY&title=3&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=51879" title="Create Page: 3" class="createlink">3<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/plus.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN> of this interface and<BR>
registry the implementation class by defining a file named as<BR>
"META-INF/services/org.apache.tuscany.spi.bootstrp.ModuleActivator" <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=TUSCANY&title=4&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=51879" title="Create Page: 4" class="createlink">4<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/plus.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN>. The<BR>
content of the file is the class name of the implementation. The<BR>
implementation class must have a no-arg constructor. The same instance will<BR>
be used to invoke all the methods during different phases of the module<BR>
activation.</P>
<P>During bootstraping, the following sequence will happen:</P>
<P>1) All the module activators will be discovered by the presence of<BR>
META-INF/services/org.apache.tuscany.spi.bootstrp.ModuleActivator<BR>
2) The activator class is instantiated using the no-arg constructor.<BR>
3) ModuleActivator.getExtensionPoints() is invoked for all modules and the<BR>
extension points contributed by each module are added to the<BR>
ExtensionRegistry.<BR>
4) ModuleActivator.start(ExtensionRegistry) is invoked for all the modules.<BR>
The module can then get interested extension points and contribute<BR>
extensions to them. The contract bwteen the extension and extension point is<BR>
private to the extension point. The extension point can follow similar<BR>
patterns such as Registry. If it happens that one extension point has a<BR>
dependency on another extension point, they can linked at this phase.</P>
<P>During shutting down, the stop() method is invoked for all the modules to<BR>
perform cleanups. A module can choose to unregister the extension from the<BR>
extension points.</P>
