<H1>Tuscany SCA Native Samples - Alert Aggregator Sample</H1>
<P>This is a more complex sample that shows how Tuscany and SCA can be used to
develop and run mash-up style web applications.</P>
<P>The Alert Aggregator sample aggregates items of information from various data
sources into a series of "alerts" that are displayed in an
automatically updating web page. Alert sources can currently include RSS/Atom
news feeds and POP3/IMAP email</P>
<P>The Alert Aggregator sample requires the following extensions:
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="../../doc/RESTExtension.html">REST Service and Reference Extensions</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF="../../doc/PythonExtension.html">Python Extension</A></LI>
</UL>
Please follow the documentation to ensure you have these extensions built and installed
on your system
</P>
<P>Additionally, the Alert Aggregator sample requires the Python FeedParser library, available from
<A HREF="http://feedparser.org" TARGET="_blank">http://feedparser.org</A>. Please download and
install the library by following the documentation.</P>
<P>There are three sub-projects in this workspace:
<UL>
<LI>sample.alerter<BR/>
This contains the source code and SCDL artifacts for the SCA components
implementing the Alert Aggregator configuration and alert retrieval.
</LI>
<LI>sample.display<BR/>
This contains the source code and SCDL artifacts for the SCA components
implementing the display and storage of the retrieved alerts.
</LI>
<LI>httpserver<BR/>
This contains a minimal configuration for the Apache HTTP server used
to host the services as well as scripts to start and stop the server.
</LI>
</UL>
Additionally, there is the sample.alerter.app.composite file. This
describes the configuration of the SCA composites deployed to the SCA
runtime.</P>
<P>The following SCA diagram shows the different components and composites and how the
wiring between them is specified. Not all of these components are currently
implemented in this sample.</P>
