<H3><A name="SCAJavaWebApplications-UsingTuscanyinJEEWebApplications"></A>Using Tuscany in JEE Web Applications</H3>

<P>This page describes how to use Tuscany in JEE Web Applications.</P>

<P>You can use a JEE Web application as a container for running Tuscany SCA applications, and this enables building applications which combine both JEE features and SCA features. When running Tuscany in a Web application there is a single SCA domain contained entirely within the web application (see note at bottom of page). </P>

<P>When using Tuscany in Web applications there are three aspects to consider:</P>
<OL>
	<LI>Configuring the Web application</LI>
	<LI>Configuring the Tuscany SCA domain</LI>
	<LI>Accessing the SCA services within the SCA domain</LI>
</OL>


<H3><A name="SCAJavaWebApplications-Configuringthewebapplication"></A>Configuring the web application</H3>

<P>All the Tuscany jar's and dependencies must be included in the WEB-INF/lib folder. Some configuration in the web.xml file is required - a ContextListener is needed when using non-HTTP based SCA services so that the Tuscany runtime is started when the Web Application starts, a Servlet Filter is required when using HTTP based SCA services. The simplest approach is to always include both ContextListener and Filter definitions in the web.xml so that everything works for all types of SCA configuration.   </P>

<P>The following show the XML snippets show the necessary definitions for the web.xml file: </P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
&lt;listener&gt;
   &lt;listener-class&gt;org.apache.tuscany.sca.host.webapp.TuscanyContextListener&lt;/listener-class&gt;
&lt;/listener&gt;
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
&lt;filter&gt;
    &lt;filter-name&gt;tuscany&lt;/filter-name&gt; 
    &lt;filter-class&gt;org.apache.tuscany.sca.host.webapp.TuscanyServletFilter&lt;/filter-class&gt; 
&lt;/filter&gt;

&lt;filter-mapping&gt;
    &lt;filter-name&gt;tuscany&lt;/filter-name&gt; 
    &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt; 
&lt;/filter-mapping&gt;

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

<H3><A name="SCAJavaWebApplications-ConfiguringtheTuscanySCAdomain"></A>Configuring the Tuscany SCA domain</H3>

<P>Tuscany treats the entire Web application as a single contribution and the deployable composites within the contribution can be configured in three ways:</P>
<OL>
	<LI>by including a META-INF/sca-contributions.xml</LI>
	<LI>by including deployable composite files within a folder named META-INF/sca-deployables</LI>
	<LI>by using what is known as an &quot;application composite&quot; which is a single composite file named WEB-INF/web.composite</LI>
</OL>



<H3><A name="SCAJavaWebApplications-AccessingtheSCAserviceswithintheSCAdomain"></A>Accessing the SCA services within the SCA domain</H3>

<P>For JSPs you can use an SCA taglib or access the SCADomain directly. To use the taglib, declare it with:</P>

      <DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">&lt;%@ taglib uri=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;http:<SPAN class="code-comment">//www.osoa.org/sca/sca_jsp.tld&quot;</SPAN> prefix=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;sca&quot;</SPAN> %&gt;</SPAN></PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<P>and then you can define references to services with the sca:reference tag, eg:</P>

     <DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">&lt;sca:reference name=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CalculatorServiceComponent&quot;</SPAN> type=<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;calculator.CalculatorService&quot;</SPAN> /&gt;</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>

<P>That treats the domain as one big &quot;virtual&quot; component with every service in the domain being available as a reference in the JSP</P>

<P>The Tuscany SCADomain object is stored in the Web applications ServletContext object so application code can get hold of that and use the SCADomain just like when running Tuscany applications in a standalone JSE environment. For example, a JSP can do the follow:</P>

<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
&lt;%
   SCADomain scaDomain = (SCADomain) application.getAttribute(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;org.apache.tuscany.sca.SCADomain&quot;</SPAN>);
   CalculatorService calculatorService = (CalculatorService)scaDomain.getService(CalculatorService.class, <SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CalculatorServiceComponent&quot;</SPAN>);
%&gt;
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>


<H3><A name="SCAJavaWebApplications-SamplesshowingTuscanyinJEEWebApplications"></A>Samples showing Tuscany in JEE Web Applications</H3>

<P>Tuscany comes with several samples using JEE Web Applications. The simplest is the <A href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/tags/java/sca/1.3.2/samples/calculator-webapp/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">calculator-webapp </A> which shows a JSP invoking an SCA component. Another is the <A href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/tags/java/sca/1.3.2/samples/calculator-ws-webapp/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">calculator-ws-webapp </A> which extends the calculator-webapp sample to use SCA Web Services, another is the <A href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/tags/java/sca/1.3.2/demos/alert-aggregator-webapp/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">alert-aggregator</A> demo which shows a more complete application. </P>
