1 Introduction

This document describes the SCA Client and Implementation Model for the C programming language.

The SCA C implementation model describes how to implement SCA components in C. A component implementation itself can also be a client to other services provided by other components or external services. The document describes how a component implemented in C gets access to services and calls their operations.

The document also explains how non-SCA C components can be clients to services provided by other components or external services. The document shows how those non-SCA C component implementations access services and call their operations.

1.1 Terminology

The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

This specification uses predefined namespace prefixes throughout; they are given in the following list. Note that the choice of any namespace prefix is arbitrary and not semantically significant.

1.3 Conventions

1.3.1 Naming Conventions

This specification follows some naming conventions for artifacts defined by the specification, as follows:

· For the names of elements and the names of attributes within XSD files, the names follow the CamelCase convention, with all names starting with a lower case letter.

e.g. <element name="componentType" type="sca:ComponentType"/>

· For the names of types within XSD files, the names follow the CamelCase convention with all names starting with an upper case letter

e.g. <complexType name="ComponentService">

· For the names of intents, the names follow the CamelCase convention, with all names starting with a lower case letter, EXCEPT for cases where the intent represents an established acronym, in which case the entire name is in upper case.

An example of an intent which is an acronym is the "SOAP" intent.

1.3.2 Typographic Conventions

This specification follows some typographic conventions for some specific constructs

· XML attributes are identified in text as @attribute

· Language identifiers used in text are in courier

· Literals in text are in italics

2 Basic Component Implementation Model

This section describes how SCA components are implemented using the C programming language. It shows how a C implementation based component can implement a local or remotable service, and how the implementation can be made configurable through properties.

A component implementation can itself be a client of services. This aspect of a component implementation is described in the basic client model section.

2.1 Implementing a Service

A component implementation based on a set of C functions (a C implementation) provides one or more services.

A service provided by a C implementation has an interface (a service interface) which is defined using one of:

· the declaration of the C functions implementing the services

· a WSDL 1.1 portType [WSDL11]

If function declarations are used to define the interface, they will typically be placed in a separate header file. A C implementation MUST implement all of the operation(s) of the service interface(s) of its componentType. [C20001]

The following snippets show the C service interface and the C functions of a C implementation.

Service interface.

/* LoanService interface */

char approveLoan(long customerNumber, long loanAmount);

Implementation.

#include "LoanService.h"

char approveLoan(long customerNumber, long loanAmount)

{

…

}

The following snippet shows the component type for this component implementation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<interface.c header="LoanService.h"/>

</service>

</componentType>

The following picture shows the relationship between the C header files and implementation files for a component that has a single service and a single reference.

2.1.1 Implementing a Remotable Service

A @remotable=”true” attribute on an interface.c element indicates that the interface is remotable as described in the Assembly Specification [ASSEMBLY]. The following snippet shows the component type for a remotable service:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<interface.c header="LoanService.h" remotable="true"/>

</service>

</componentType>

2.1.2 AllowsPassByReference

Calls to remotable services have by-value semantics. This means that input parameters passed to the service can be modified by the service without these modifications being visible to the client. Similarly, the return value or exception from the service can be modified by the client without these modifications being visible to the service implemementation. For remote calls (either cross-machine or cross-process), these semantics are a consequence of marshalling input parameters, return values and exceptions “on the wire” and unmarshalling them “off the wire” which results in physical copies being made. For local calls within the same operating system address space, C calling semantics include by-reference and therefore do not provide the correct by-value semantics for SCA remotable interfaces. To compensate for this, the SCA runtime can intervene in these calls to provide by-value semantics by making copies of any by-reference values passed.

The cost of such copying can be very high relative to the cost of making a local call, especially if the data being passed is large. Also, in many cases this copying is not needed if the implementation observes certain conventions for how input parameters, return values and exceptions are used. An @allowsPassByReference=”true” attribute allows implementations to indicate that they use input parameters, return values and fault data in a manner that allows the SCA runtime to avoid the cost of copying by-reference values when a remotable service is called locally within the same operating system address space See Implementation.c and Implementation Function for a description of the @allowsPassByReference attribute and how it is used.

2.1.2.1 Marking services and references as “allows pass by reference”

Marking a service function implementation as “allows pass by reference” asserts that the function implementation observes the following restrictions:

· Function execution will not modify any input parameter before the function returns.

· The service implementation will not retain a pointer to any by-reference input parameter, return value or fault data after the function returns.

· The function will observe “allows pass by value” client semantics (see below) for any callbacks that it makes.

Marking a client as “allows pass by reference” asserts that the client observe the following restrictions for all references’ functions:

· The client implementation will not modify any function’s input parameters before the function returns. Such modifications might occur in callbacks or separate client threads.

· If a function is one-way, the client implementation will not modify any of the function’s input parameters at any time after calling the operation. This is because one-way function calls return immediately without waiting for the service function to complete.

2.1.2.2 Using “allows pass by reference” to optimize remotable calls

The SCA runtime MAY use by-reference semantics when passing input parameters, return values or exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same system address space if both the service function implementation and the client are marked “allows pass by reference”. [C20016]

The SCA runtime MUST use by-value semantics when passing input parameters, return values and exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same system address space if the service function implementation is not marked “allows pass by reference” or the client is not marked “allows pass by reference”. [C20017]

2.1.3 Implementing a Local Service

A service interface not marked as remotable is local.

2.2 Component and Implementation Scopes

Component implementations can either manage their own state or allow the SCA runtime to do so. In the latter case, SCA defines the concept of implementation scope, which specifies the visibility and lifecycle contract an implementation has with the runtime. Invocations on a service offered by a component will be dispatched by the SCA runtime to an implementation instance according to the semantics of its scope.

Scopes are specified using the @scope attribute of the implementation.c element.

When a scope is not specified in an implementation file, the SCA runtime will interpret the implementation scope as stateless.

An SCA runtime MUST support these scopes; stateless and composite. Additional scopes MAY be provided by SCA runtimes. [C20003]

The following snippet shows the component type for a composite scoped component:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService"

scope="composite"/>

</component>

Certain scoped implementations potentially also specify lifecycle functions which are called when an implementation is instantiated or the scope is expired. An implementation is either instantiated eagerly when the scope is started (specified by @scope=“composite” @eagerInit=”true”), or lazily when the first client request is received. Lazy instantiation is the default for all scopes. The C implementation uses the @init=”true” attribute of an implementation function element to denote the function to be called upon initialization and the @destroy=”true” attribute for the function to be called when the scope ends. A C implementation MUST only designate functions with no arguments and a void return type as lifecycle functions. [C20004]

2.2.1 Stateless scope

For stateless scope components, there is no implied correlation between implementation instances used to dispatch service requests.

The concurrency model for the stateless scope is single threaded. An SCA runtime MUST ensure that a stateless scoped implementation instance object is only ever dispatched on one thread at any one time. In addition, within the SCA lifecycle of an instance, an SCA runtime MUST only make a single invocation of one business method. [C20014]

Lifecycle functions are not defined for stateless implementations.

2.2.2 Composite scope

All service requests are dispatched to the same implementation instance for the lifetime of the containing composite, i.e. the binary implementing the component is loaded into memory once and all requests are processed by this single instance. The lifetime of the containing composite is defined as the time it becomes active in the runtime to the time it is deactivated, either normally or abnormally.

A composite scoped implementation can also specify eager initialization using the @eagerInit=”true” attribute on the implementation.c element of a component definition. When marked for eager initialization, the composite scoped instance will be created when its containing component is started.

The concurrency model for the composite scope is multi-threaded. An SCA runtime MAY run multiple threads in a single composite scoped implementation instance object and it MUST NOT perform any synchronization. [C20015]

Composite scope supports both @init=”true” and @destroy=”true” functions.

2.3 Implementing a Configuration Property

Component implementations can be configured through properties. The properties and their types (not their values) are defined in the component type. The C component can retrieve properties values using the SCAProperty<PropertyType>() functions, for example SCAPropertyInt() to access an Int type property..

The following code extract shows how to get the property values.

#include "SCA.h"

void clientFunction()

{

…

int32_t loanRating;

int compCode, reason;

…

SCAPropertyInt(L"maxLoanValue", &loanRating, &compCode, &reason);

…

}

If the property is many valued, an array of the appropriate type is used as the second parameter, and the third parameter would point to an int that would receive the number of values. The type for the property SHOULD NOT allow more values to be defined than the size of the array in the implementation.

2.4 Component Type and Component

For a C component implementation, a component type is specified in a side file. By default, the componentType side file is in the root directory of the composite containing the component or some subdirectory of the composite root directory with a name specified on the @componentType attribute. The location can be modified as described below.

This Client and Implementation Model for C extends the SCA Assembly model [ASSEMBLY] providing support for the C interface type system and support for the C implementation type.

The following snippets show a C service interface and a C implementation of a service.

/* LoanService interface */

char approveLoan(long customerNumber, long loanAmount);

Implementation.

#include "LoanService.h"

char approveLoan(long customerNumber, long loanAmount)

{

…

}

The following snippet shows the component type for this component implementation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<interface.c header="LoanService.h" />

</service>

</componentType>

The following snippet shows the component using the implementation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<composite xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"

name="LoanComposite" >

…

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType=”LoanService” />

</component>

…

</composite>

2.4.1 Interface.c

The following snippet shows the schema for the C interface element used to type services and references of component types.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- interface.c schema snippet -->

<interface.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"

header="string" remotable="boolean"? callbackHeader="string"? >

<function … />*

<callbackFunction … />*

</interface.c>

The interface.c element has the following attributes:

· header : string (1..1) – full name of the header file, including either a full path, or its equivalent, or a relative path from the composite root. This header file describes the interface.

· callbackHeader : string (0..1) –full name of the header file that describes the callback interface, including either a full path, or its equivalent, or a relative path from the composite root.

· remotable : boolean (0..1) – indicates whether the service is remotable or local. The default is local. See Implementing a Remotable Service

The interface.c element has the following child elements:

· function : CFunction (0..n) – see Function and CallbackFunction

· callbackFunction : CFunction (0..n) – see Function and CallbackFunction

2.4.2 Function and CallbackFunction

Some functions of an interface have behavioral characteristics, which will be described later, that need to be identified. This is done using a function or callbackFunction child element of interface.c. These child elements are also used when not all functions in a header file are part of the interface or when the interface is implemented by a program.

· If the header file identified by the @header attribute of an <interface.c/> element contains function declarations that are not operations of the interface, then the functions that define operations of the interface MUST be identified using <function/> child elements of the <interface.c/> element. [C20006]

· If the header file identified by the @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element contains function declarations that are not operations of the callback interface, then the functions that define operations of the callback interface MUST be identified using <callbackFunction/> child elements of the <interface.c/> element. [C20007]

· If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then all functions of the interface (callback interface) MUST be identified using <function/> (<callbackFunction/>) child elements of the <interface.c/> element. [C20008]

The following snippet shows the interface.c schema with the schema for the function and callbackFunction child elements:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- interface.c schema snippet -->

<interface.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"… >

<function name="NCName" requires="listOfQNames"? oneWay="Boolean"?

input="NCName"? output="NCNAME"? />*

<callbackFunction name="NCName" requires="listOfQNames"? oneWay="Boolean"?

input="NCName"? output="NCName"? />*

</interface.c>

The function and callbackFunction elements have the following attributes:

· name : NCName (1..1) – name of the function being decorated or included in the interface. The @name attribute of a <function/> child element of a <interface.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <function/> elements of that <interface.c/>. [C20009]

The @name attribute of a <callbackFunction/> child element of a <interface.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <callbackFunction/> elements of that <interface.c/>. [C20010]

· requires : listOfQNames (0..1) – list of intents [POLICY] needed by this function.

· oneWay : boolean (0..1) – see Non-blocking Calls

· input : NCNAME (0..1) – If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then the struct defining the input message format MUST be identified using an @input attribute. [C20011] (See Implementing a Service with a Program)

· output : NCNAME (0..1) – If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then the struct defining the output message format MUST be identified using an @input attribute. [C20012]

2.4.3 Implementation.c

The following snippet shows the schema for the C implementation element used to define the implementation of a component.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- implementation.c schema snippet -->

<implementation.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"

module="NCName" library="boolean"? path="string"?

scope="scope"? componentType="string" allowsPassByReference="Boolean"?

eagerInit="Boolean"? init="Boolean"? destroy="Boolean"? >

<function … />*

</implementation.c>

The implementation.c element has the following attributes:

· module : NCName (1..1) – name of the binary executable for the service component. This is the root name of the module.

· library : boolean (0..1) – indicates whether the service is implemented as a library or a program. The default is library. SeeImplementing a Service with a Program

· path : string (0..1) – path to the module which is either relative to the root of the contribution containing the composite or is prefixed with a contribution import name and is relative to the root of the import. See C Contributions.

· scope : CImplementationScope (0..1) – indicates the scope of the component implementation. The default is stateless. Component and Implementation Scopes

· componentType : string (1..1) – name of the componentType file. A “.componentType” extention will be appended. A path to the componentType file which is relative to the root of the contribution containing the composite or is prefixed with a contribution import name and is relative to the root of the import (see C Contributions) can be included.

· allowsPassByReference : boolean (0..1) – indicates the implementation allows pass by reference data exchange semantics on calls to it or from it. These sematics apply to all services provided by and references used by an implementation. See AllowsPassByReference

· eagerInit : boolean (0..1) – indicates a composite scoped implementation is to be initialized when it is loaded. See Composite scope

· init : boolean (0..1) – indicates program is to be called with an initialize flag to initialize the implementation. See Component and Implementation Scopes

· destroy : boolean (0..1) – indicates is to be called with a destroy flag to to cleanup the implementation. See Component and Implementation Scopes

The interface.c element has the following child element:

· function : CImplementationFunction (0..n) – see Implementation Function

2.4.4 Implementation Function

Some functions of an implementation have operational characteristics that need to be identified. This is done using a function child element of implementation.c

The following snippet shows the implementation.c schema with the schema for a function child element:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- ImplementationFunction schema snippet -->

<implementation.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"… >

<function name="NCName" requires="listOfQNames"?

allowsPassByReference="Boolean"?

init="Boolean"? destroy="Boolean"? />*

</implementation.c>

The function element has the following attributes:

· name : NCName (1..1) – name of the functioon being decorated. The @name attribute of a <function/> child element of a <implementation.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <function/> elements of that <implementation.c/>. [C20013]

· requires : listOfQNames (0..1) – list of intents [POLICY] needed by this function.

· allowsPassByReference : boolean" (0..1) – indicates the function allows pass by reference data exchange semantics. See AllowsPassByReference

· init : boolean (0..1) – indicates this function is to be called to initialize the implementation. See Component and Implementation Scopes

· destroy : boolean (0..1) – indicates this function is to be called to cleanup the implementation. See Component and Implementation Scopes

2.5 Implementing a Service with a Program

Depending on the execution platform, services might be implemented in libraries, programs, or a combination of both libraries and programs. Services implemented as subroutines in a library are called directly by the runtime. Input and messages are passed as parameters, and output messages can either be additional parameters or a return value. Both local and remoteable interfaces are easily supported by this style of implementation.

For services implemented as programs, the SCA runtime uses normal platform functions to invoke the program. Accordingly, a service implemented as a program will run in its own address space and in its own process and its interface is most appropriately marked as remotable. A service implemented in a program will have either stateless scope. Local services implemented as subroutines used by a service implemented in a program can run in the address space and process of the program.

Since a program can implement multiple services and often will implement multiple operations, the program has to query the runtime to determine which service and operation caused the program to be invoked. This is done using SCAService() and SCAOperation(). Once the specific service and operation is known, the proper input message can be retrieved using SCAMessageIn(). Once the logic of the operation is finished SCAMessageOut() is used to provide the return data to the runtime to be marshalled.

Since a program does not have a specific prototype for each operation of each service it implements, a C interface definition for the service identifes the operation names and the input and output message formats using functions elements, with input and output attributes, in an interface.c element. Alternatively, an external interface definition, such as a WSDL document, is used to describe the operations and message formats.

The following shows a program implementing a service using these support functions.

#include "SCA.h"

#include "myInterface.h"

main () {

wchar_t myService [255];

wchar_t myOperation [255];

int compCode, reason;

struct FirstInputMsg myFirstIn;

struct FirstOutputMsg myFirstOut;

SCAService(myService, &compCode, &reason);

SCAOperation(myOperation, &compCode, &reason);

if (wstrcmp(myOperation,L"myFirstOperation")==0){

SCAMessageIn(myService, myOperation,

sizeof(struct FirstInputMsg), (void *)&myFirstIn,

&compCode, &reason);

…

SCAMessageOut(myService, myOperation,

sizeof(struct FirstOutputMsg),(void *)&myFirstOut,

&compCode, &reason);

}

else

{

…

}

3 Basic Client Model

This section describes how to get access to SCA services from both SCA components and from non-SCA components. It also describes how to call operations of these services.

3.1 Accessing Services from Component Implementations

A service can get access to another service using a reference of the current component

The following shows the SCAGetReference() function used for this.

void SCAGetReference(wchar_t *referenceName, SCAREF *referenceToken,

int *compCode, int *reason);

void SCAInvoke(SCAREF referenceToken, wchar_t *operationName,

int inputMsgLen, void *inputMsg,

int outputMsgLen, void *outputMsg, int *compCode, int *reason);

The following shows a sample of how a service is called in a C component implementation.

#include "SCA.h"

void clientFunction()

{

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

long custNum = 1234;

short rating;

…

SCAGetReference(L”customerService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvoke(serviceToken, L“getCreditRating”, sizeof(custNum),

(void *)&custNum, sizeof(rating), (void *)&rating,

&compCode, &reason);

}

If a reference has multiple targets, the client has to use SCAGetReferences() to retrieve tokens for each of the tokens and then invoke the operation(s) for each target. For example:

SCAREF *tokens;

int num_targets;

...

myFunction(...) {

int compCode, reason;

...

SCAGetReferences(L"myReference", &tokens, &num_targets, &compCode,

&reason);

for (i = 0; i < num_targets; i++)

{

SCAInvoke(tokens[i], L"myOperation", sizeof(inputMsg),

(void *)&inputMsg, 0, NULL, &compCode, &reason);

};

3.2 Accessing Services from non-SCA component implementations

Non-SCA components can access component services by obtaining an SCAREF from the SCA runtime and then following the same steps as a component implementation as described above.

The following shows a sample of how a service is called in non-SCA C code.

#include "SCA.h"

void externalFunction()

{

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

long custNum = 1234;

short rating;

SCAEntryPoint(L”customerService”, L”http://example.com/mydomain”,

&serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvoke(serviceToken, L“getCreditRating”, sizeof(custNum),

(void *)&custNum, sizeof(rating), (void *)&rating,

&compCode, &reason);

}

No SCA metadata is specified for the client. E.g. no binding or policies are specified. Non-SCA clients cannot call services that use callbacks.

The SCA infrastructure decides which binding is used OR extended form of serviceURI is used:

· componentName/serviceName/bindingName

3.3 Calling Service Operations

The previous sections show the various options for getting access to a service and using SCAInvoke() to invoke operations of that service.

If you have access to a service whose interface is marked as remotable, then on calls to operations of that service you will experience remote semantics. Arguments and return values are passed by-value and it is possible to get a SCA_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE reason code which is a Runtime error.

3.3.1 Proxy Functions

It is more natural to use specific function calls than the generic SCAInvoke() API for invoking operations. An SCA runtime typically needs to be involved when a client invokes on operation, particularly if the service is remote. Proxy functions provide a mechanism for using specific function calls and still allow the necessary SCA runtime processing. However, proxies require generated code and managing additional source files, so use of proxies is not always desirable.

For SCA, proxy functions have the form:

<functionReturn> SCA_<functionName>( SCAREF referenceToken,

<functionParameters> )

where:

· <functionName> is the name of interface function

· <functionParameters> are the parameters of the interface function

· <functionReturn> is the return type of the interface function

Proxy functions can set errno to one of the following values:

· ENOENT if a remote service is unavailable

· EFAULT if a fault is returned by the operation

The following shows a sample of using a proxy function.

#include "SCA.h"

void clientFunction()

{

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

long custNum = 1234;

short rating;

…

SCAGetReference(L”customerService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

errno = 0;

rating = SCA_getCreditRating(serviceToken, custNum);

if (errno) {

/* handle error or fault */

}

else {

…

}

An SCA implementation MAY support proxy functions. [C30001]

3.4 Long Running Request-Response Operations

The Assembly Specification [ASSEMBLY] allows service interfaces or individual operations to be marked long-running using an @requires=”asyncInvocation” intent, with the meaning that the operation(s) might not complete in any specified time interval, even when the operations are request-response operations. A client calling such an operation has to be prepared for any arbitrary delay between the time a request is made and the time the response is received. To support this kind of operation three invocation styles are available: asynchronous – the client provides a response handler, polling – the client will poll the SCA runtime to determine if a response is available, and synchronous – the SCA runtime handles suspension of the main thread, asynchronously receiving the response and resuming the main thread. The details of each of these styles are provided in the following sections.

3.4.1 Asynchronous Invocation

The asynchronous style of invocation uses SCAInvokeAsync() which has the same signature as SCAInvoke()without the outputMsgLen or outputMsg parameters but with a parameter taking the address of a haneler function. This API sends the operation request. The handler function has the signature

void <handler>(short responseType);

and is called when the response is ready. The response type indicates if the response is a reply message or a fault message. The implementation of the handler uses SCAGetReplyMessage() or SCAGetFaultMessage() to retrieve the data.

For program-based component implementations, the handler parameter is set to an empty string and when the SCA runtime starts the program to process the response, a call to SCAService() returns the name of the reference and a call to SCAOperation() returns the name of the reference operation.

If proxy functions are supported, for a service operation with signature

<return type> <function name>(<parameters>);

the asynchronous invocation style includes a proxy function

void SCA_<function name>Async(SCAREF, <in_parameters>, void (*)(short));

which will set errno to EBUSY if one request is outstanding and another is attempted.

The following shows a sample of how the asynchronous invocation style is used in a C component implementation.

#include "SCA.h"

#include "TravelService.h"

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

void makeReservationsHandler(short rspType)

{

struct confirmationData cd;

wchar_t *fault, *faultDetails;

if (rspType == SCA_REPLY_MESSAGE {

SCAGetReplyMessage(serviceToken, sizeof(cd), &cd, &compCode, &reason);

…

}

else {

SCAGetFaultMessage(serviceToken, sizeof(faultDetails), &fault,

&faultDetails, &compCode, &reason);

if (wstrcmp(*fault, L”noFlight”) {

…

}

else {

…

}

return;

}

void clientFunction()

{

struct itineraryData id;

…

void (*ah)(short) = &makeReservationsHandler;

SCAGetReference(L”customerService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvokeAsync(serviceToken, L“makeReservations”, sizeof(itineraryData),

ah, &compCode, &reason);

return;

}

3.4.2 Polling Invocation

The polling style of invocation uses SCAInvokePoll() which has the same signature as SCAInvoke() but without the outputMsgLen or outputMsg parameters. This API sends the operation request. After the request is sent the client can check to see if a response has been received by using SCACheckResponse()or cancel the request with SCACancelInvoke().

If proxy functions are supported, for a service operation with signature

<return type> <function name>(<parameters>);

the polling invocation style includes a proxy function

void SCA_<function name>Poll(SCAREF, <in_parameters>);

which will set errno to EBUSY if one request is outstanding and another is attempted.

The following shows a sample of how the polling invocation style is used in a C component implementation.

#include "SCA.h"

#include "TravelService.h"

void pollingClientFunction()

{

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

short rspType;

struct itineraryData id;

struct confirmationData cd;

wchar_t *fault, *faultDetails;

…

SCAGetReference(L”customerService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvokePoll(serviceToken, L“makeReservations”, sizeof(itineraryData),

&compCode, &reason);

SCACheckResponse(serviceToken, &rspType, &compCode, &reason);

while (!rspType) {

// do something, then wait for some time…

SCACheckResponse(serviceToken, &rspType, &compCode, &reason);

}

if (rspType == SCA_REPLY_MESSAGE {

SCAGetReplyMessage(serviceToken, sizeof(cd), &cd, &compCode, &reason);

…

}

else {

SCAGetFaultMessage(serviceToken, sizeof(faultDetails), &fault,

&faultDetails, &compCode, &reason);

if (wstrcmp(*fault, L”noFlight”) {

…

}

else {

…

}

return;

}

3.4.3 Synchronous Invocation

In this style the client uses API SCAInvoke() but the implementation of this API suspends the main thread after the request is made, and in an implementation-dependent manner receives the response, resumes the main thread and returns from the member function call. If proxy functions are supported, the client can call SCA_<function name>() as normal, and again the implementation handles the asynchronous aspects.

The following shows a sample of how the synchronous invocation style is used in a C component implementation.

#include "SCA.h"

#include "TravelService.h"

void synchronousClientFunction()

{

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

struct itineraryData id;

struct confirmationData *cd;

wchar_t *fault, *faultDetails;

…

SCAGetReference(L”customerService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvoke(serviceToken, L“makeReservations”, sizeof(itineraryData),

(void *)&id, sizeof(confirmationData), (void *)&cd,

&compCode, &reason);

if (compCode == SCA_FAULT) {

…

}

else {

SCAGetFaultMessage(serviceToken, sizeof(faultDetails), &fault,

&faultDetails, &compCode, &reason);

if (wstrcmp(*fault, L”noFlight”) {

…

}

else {

…

}

return;

}

4 Asynchronous Programming

Asynchronous programming of a service is where a client invokes a service and carries on executing without waiting for the service to execute. Typically, the invoked service executes at some later time. Output from the invoked service, if any, is fed back to the client through a separate mechanism, since no output is available at the point where the service is invoked. This is in contrast to the call-and-return style of synchronous programming, where the invoked service executes and returns any output to the client before the client continues. The SCA asynchronous programming model consists of support for non-blocking operation calls and callbacks. Each of these topics is discussed in the following sections.

4.1 Non-blocking Calls

Non-blocking calls represent the simplest form of asynchronous programming, where the client of the service invokes the service and continues processing immediately, without waiting for the service to execute.

Any function that returns void and has only by-value parameters can be marked with the @oneWay=”true” attribute in the interface definition of the service. An operation marked as oneWay is considered non-blocking and the SCA runtime MAY use a binding that buffers the requests to the function and sends them at some time after they are made. [C40001]

The following snippet shows the component type for a service with the reportEvent() function declared as a one-way operation:

<interface.c header="LoanService.h">

</interface.c>

</service>

</componentType>

SCA does not currently define a mechanism for making non-blocking calls to functions that return values. It is considered to be a best practice that service designers define one-way operations as often as possible, in order to give the greatest degree of binding flexibility to deployers.

4.2 Callbacks

Callbacks services are used by bidirectional services as defined in the Assembly Specification [ASSEMBLY]:

A callback interface is declared by the @callbackHeader and @callbackFunctions attributes in the interface definition of the service. The following snippet shows the component type for a service MyService with the interface defined in MyService.h and the interface for callbacks defined in MyServiceCallback.h,

<interface.c header="MyService.h" callbackHeader="MyServiceCallback.h"/>

</service>

</componentType>

4.2.1 Using Callbacks

Bidirectional interfaces and callbacks are used when a simple request/response pattern isn’t sufficient to capture the business semantics of a service interaction. Callbacks are well suited for cases when a service request can result in multiple responses or new requests from the service back to the client, or where the service might respond to the client some time after the original request has completed.

The following example shows a scenario in which bidirectional interfaces and callbacks could be used. A client requests a quotation from a supplier. To process the enquiry and return the quotation, some suppliers might need additional information from the client. The client does not know which additional items of information will be needed by different suppliers. This interaction can be modeled as a bidirectional interface with callback requests to obtain the additional information.

double requestQuotation(char *productCode,int quantity);

char *getState();

char *getZipCode();

char *getCreditRating();

In this example, the requestQuotation operation requests a quotation to supply a given quantity of a specified product. The QuotationCallBack interface provides a number of operations that the supplier can use to obtain additional information about the client making the request. For example, some suppliers might quote different prices based on the state or the zip code to which the order will be shipped, and some suppliers might quote a lower price if the ordering company has a good credit rating. Other suppliers might quote a standard price without requesting any additional information from the client.

The following code snippet illustrates a possible implementation of the example service.

#include "QuotationCallback.h"

#include "SCA.h"

double requestQuotation(char *productCode,int quantity) {

double price, discount = 0;

char state[3], creditRating[4];

SCAREF callbackRef;

int compCode, reason;

price = getPrice(productQuote, quantity);

SCAGetCallback(L"", &callbackRef, &compCode, &reason);

SCAInvoke(callbackRef, L"getState", 0, NULL, sizeof(state), state,

&compCode, &reason);

if (quantity > 1000 && strcmp(state,“FL”) == 0)

discount = 0.05;

SCAInvoke(callbackRef, L"getCreditRating", 0, NULL, sizeof(creditRating),

creditRating, &compCode, &reason);

if (quantity > 10000 && creditRating[0] == ‘A’)

discount += 0.05;

SCAReleaseCallback(callbackRef, &compCode, &reason);

return price * (1-discount);

}

The code snippet below is taken from the client of this example service. The client’s service implementation class implements the functions of the QuotationCallback interface as well as those of its own service interface ClientService.

#include "QuotationCallback.h"

#include "SCA.h"

char state[3] = “TX”, zipCode[6] = “78746”, creditRating[3] = “AA”;

aClientFunction() {

SCAREF serviceToken;

int compCode, reason;

SCAGetReference(L”quotationService”, &serviceToken, &compCode, &reason);

SCA_requestQuotation(serviceToken, “AB123”, 2000);

}

char *getState() {

return state;

}

char *getZipCode() {

return zipCode;

}

char *getCreditRating() {

return creditRating;

}

In this example the callback is stateless, i.e., the callback requests do not need any information relating to the original service request. For a callback that needs information relating to the original service request (a stateful callback), this information can be passed to the client by the service provider as parameters on the callback request.

4.2.2 Callback Instance Management

Instance management for callback requests received by the client of the bidirectional service is handled in the same way as instance management for regular service requests. If the client implementation has STATELESS scope, the callback is dispatched using a newly initialized instance. If the client implementation has COMPOSITE scope, the callback is dispatched using the same shared instance that is used to dispatch regular service requests.

As describedUsing Callbacks, a stateful callback can obtain information relating to the original service request from parameters on the callback request. Alternatively, a composite-scoped client could store information relating to the original request as instance data and retrieve it when the callback request is received. These approaches could be combined by using a key passed on the callback request (e.g., an order ID) to retrieve information that was stored in a composite-scoped instance by the client code that made the original request.

4.2.3 Implementing Multiple Bidirectional Interfaces

Since it is possible for a single component to implement multiple services, it is also possible for callbacks to be defined for each of the services that it implements. The service name parameter of SCAGetCallback() identifies the service for which the callback is to be obtained.

5 Error Handling

Clients calling service operations will experience business logic errors, and SCA runtime errors.

Business logic errors are generated by the implementation of the called service operation. They are handled by client the invoking the operation of the service.

SCA runtime errors are generated by the SCA runtime and signal problems in the management of the execution of components, and in the interaction with remote services. The SCA C API includes two return codes on every function, a completion code and a reason code. The reason code is used to provide more detailed information if a function does not complete successfully. Currently the following SCA codes are defined:

/* Completion Codes */

#define SCACC_OK 0

#define SCACC_WARNING 1

#define SCACC_FAULT 2

#define SCACC_ERROR 3

/* Reason Codes */

#define SCA_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE 1

#define SCA_MULTIPLE_SERVICES 2

#define SCA_DATA_TRUNCATED 3

#define SCA_BUSY 4

/* Response Types */

#define SCA_NO_RESPONSE 0

#define SCA_REPLY_MESSAGE 1

#define SCA_FAULT_MESSAGE 2

Reason codes between 0 and 100 are reserved for use by this specification. Vendor defined reason codes SHOULD start at 101. [C50001]

7 C Contributions

Contributions are defined in the Assembly specification [ASSEMBLY] C contributions are typically, but not necessarily contained in .zip files. In addition to SCDL and potentially WSDL artifacts, C contributions include binary executable files, componentType files and potentially C interface headers. No additional discussion is needed for header files, but here are some additional considerations for executable and componentType files discussed in the following sections.

7.1 Executable files

Executable files containing the C implementations for a contribution can be contained in the contribution, contained in another contribution or external to any contribution. In some cases, it could be desirable to have contributions share an executable. In other cases, an implementation deployment policy might dictate that executables are placed in specific directories in a file system.

7.1.1 Executable in contribution

When the executable file containing a C implementation is in the same contribution, the @path attribute of the implementation.c element is used to specify the location of the executable. The specific location of an executable within a contribution is not defined by this specification.

The following shows a contribution containing a DLL.

META-INF/

sca-contribution.xml

bin/

autoinsurance.dll

AutoInsurance/

AutoInsurance.composite

AutoInsuranceService/

AutoInsurance.h

AutoInsurance.componentType

include/

Customers.h

Underwriting.h

RateUtils.h

The SCDL for the AutoInsuranceService component is:

<implementation.c module="autoinsurance" path="bin/"

componetType="AutoInsurance” />

</component>

7.1.2 Executable shared with other contribution(s) (Export)

If a contribution contains an executable that also implements C components found in other contributions, the contribution has to export the executable. An executable in a contribution is made visible to other contributions by adding an export.c element to the contribution definition as shown in the following snippet.

<deployable composite="myNS:RateUtilities"

<export.c name="contribNS:rates" >

</contribution>

It is also possible to export only a subtree of a contribution. If a contribution contains the following:

META-INF/

sca-contribution.xml

bin/

rates.dll

RateUtilities/

RateUtilities.composite

RateUtilitiesService/

RateUtils.h

RateUtils.componentType

An export of the form:

<deployable composite="myNS:RateUtilities"

<export.c name="contribNS:ratesbin" path="bin/" >

</contribution>

only makes the contents of the bin directory visible to other contributions. By placing all of the executable files of a contribution in a single directory and exporting only that directory, the amount of information contribution that uses the exported executable files is limited. This is considered a best practice.

7.1.3 Executable outside of contribution (Import)

When the executable that implements a C component is located outside of a contribution, the contribution MUST import the executable. If the executable is located in another contribution, the import.c element of the contribution definition uses a @location attribute that identifies the name of the export as defined in the contribution that defined the export as shown in the following snippet.

<deployable composite="myNS:Underwriting"

<import.c name="rates" location="contribNS:rates">

</contribution>

The SCDL for the UnderwritingService component is:

<implementation.c module="rates" path="rates:bin/"

componentType="Underwriting” />

</component>

If the executable is located in the file system, the @location attribute identifies the location in the files system used as the root of the import as shown in this snippet.

<deployable composite="myNS:CustomerUtilities"

<import.c name="usr-bin" location="/usr/bin/" >

</contribution>

7.2 componentType files

As stated in section 2.5, each component implemented in C has a corresponding componentType file. This componentType file is, by default, located in the root directory of the composite containing the component or a subdirectory of the composite root with a name specified on the @componentType attribute as shown in the following example.

META-INF/

sca-contribution.xml

bin/

autoinsurance.dll

AutoInsurance/

AutoInsurance.composite

AutoInsuranceService/

AutoInsurance.h

AutoInsurance.componentType

The SCDL for the AutoInsuranceService component is:

<implementation.c module="autoinsurance" path="bin/"

componentType="AutoInsurance” />

</component>

Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between implementations and componentTypes, when an implementation is shared between contributions, it is desirable to also share the componentType file. ComponentType files can be exported and imported in the same manner as executable files. The location of a .componentType file can be specified using the @componentType attribute of the implementation.c element.

<implementation.c library="rates" path="rates:bin/"

componentType="rates:types/Underwriting" />

</component>

7.3 C Contribution Extensions

7.3.1 Export.c

The following snippet shows the schema for the C export element used to make an executable or componentType file visible outside of a contribution.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- export.c schema snippet -->

<export.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"

name="QName" path="string"? >

The export.c element has the following attributes:

· name : QName (1..1) – name of the export. The @name attribute of a <export.c/> element MUST be unique amongst the <export.c/> elements in a domain. [C70001]

· path : string (0..1) – path of the exported executable relative to the root of the contribution. If not present, the entire contribution is exported.

7.3.2 Import.c

The following snippet shows the schema for the C import element used to reference an executable or componentType file that is outside of a contribution.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<!—- import.c schema snippet -->

<import.c xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"

name="QName" location="string" >

The import.c element has the following attributes:

· name : QName (1..1) – name of the import. The @name attribute of a <import.c/> child element of a <contribution/> MUST be unique amongst the <import.c/> elements in of that contribution. [C70002]

· location : string (1..1) – either the QName of a export or a file system location. If the value does not match an export name it is taken as an absolute file system path.

8 Types Supported in Service Interfaces

A service interface can support a restricted set of the types available to a C programmer. This section summarizes the valid types that can be used.

8.1 Local service

The return type and types of the parameters of a function of a local service interface MUST be one of:

· Any of the C primitive types (for example, int, short, char). In this case the data will be passed by value as is normal for C.

· Pointers to any of the C primitive types (for example, int *, short *, char *).

· DATAOBJECT. An SDO handle. [C80001]

8.2 Remotable service

For a remotable service being called by another service the data exchange semantics is by-value. The return type and types of the parameters of a function of a remotable service interface MUST be one of:

· Any of the C primitive types (for example, int, short, char). This will be copied.

· DATAOBJECT. An SDO handle. The SDO will be copied and passed to the destination. [C80002]

Unless the interface is marked as allowing pass by reference semantics, the behavior of the following are not defined:

· Pointers.

9 Restrictions on C header files

A C header file that is used to describe an interface has some restrictions.

A C header file used to define an interface MUST:

· Declare at least one function or message format struct [C90001]

A C header file used to define an interface MUST NOT use the following constructs:

· Macros [C90002]

10 WSDL to C and C to WSDL Mapping

The SCA Client and Implementation Model for C applies the principles of the WSDL to Java and Java to WSDL mapping rules (augmented and interpreted for C as detailed in the following section) defined in the JAX-WS specification [JAXWS21] for generating remotable C interfaces from WSDL portTypes and vice versa. Use of the JAX-WS specification as a guideline for WSDL to C and C to WSDL mappings does not imply that any support for the Java language is mandated by this specification.

For the mapping from C types to XML schema types SCA supports the SDO 2.1 [SDO21] mapping. A detailed mapping of C to WSDL types and WSDL to C types is covered in Data Binding.

The following general rules apply to the application of JAX-WS to C:

References to Java are considered references to C.
References to Java classes are considered references to a collection of C functions that implement an interface.
References to Java methods are considered references to C functions.
References to Java interfaces are considered references to a collection of C function declarations used to define an interface.
For the purposes of the C-to-WSDL mapping algorithm, a C header file with containing function declarations and no annorations is treated as if it had a @WebService annotation. All default values are assumed for the @WebService annotation.

10.1Interpretations for WSDL to C Mapping

External binding files are not supported.

For dispatching functions or invoking programs and marshalling data, an implementation can choose to interpret the WSDL document, possibly containing mapping customizations, at runtime or interpret the document as part of the deployment process generating implementation specific artifacts that represent the mapping.

10.1.1 Definitions

Since C has no namespace or package construct, the targetNamespace of a WSDL document is ignored by the mapping.

MIME binding is not supported.

10.1.2 PortType

A portType maps to a set of declarations that form the C interface for the service. The form of these declarations depends on the type of the service implementation.

If the implementation is a library, the declarations are one or more function declarations and potentially any necessary struct declarations corresponding to any complex XML schema types needed by messages used by operations of the portType. See Complex Content Binding for options for complex type mapping.

If the implementation is contained in a program, the declarations are all struct declarations. See the next section for details.

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation SHOULD map each portType to separate header file. An SCA implementation MAY use any sca-c:prefix binding declarations to control this mapping. [C100001] For example, all portTypes in a WSDL document with a common sca-c:prefix binding declaration could be mapped to a single header file..

Header file naming is implementation dependent.

10.1.3 Operations

Asynchronous mapping is not supported.

10.1.3.1 Operation Names

WSDL operation names are only guaranteed to be unique with a portType. C requires function and struct names loaded into an address space to be distinct. The mapping of operation names to function or struct names have to take this into account.

For components implemented in libraries, in the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST concatenate the portType name, with the first character converted to lower case, and the operation name, with the first character converted to upper case, to form the function. [C100002]

An application can customize this mapping using the sca-c:prefix and/or sca-c:function binding declarations.

For program-based service implementations:

· If the number of In parameters plus the number of In/Out parameters is greater than one there will be a request struct.

· If the number of Out parameters plus the number of In/Out parameters is greater than one there will be a response struct.

For components implemented in a program, in the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST concatenate the portType name, with the first character converted to lower case, and the operation name, with the first character converted to upper case, to form the request stuct name. Additionally an SCA implementation MUST append “Response” to the request struct name to form the response struct name. [C100005]

An application can customize this mapping using the sca-c:prefix and/or sca-c:struct binding declarations.

10.1.3.2 Message and Part

In the absence of any customizations for a WSDL operation that does not meet the requirements for the wrapped style, the name of a mapped function parameter or struct member MUST be the value of the name attribute of the wsdl:part element with the first character converted to lower case. [C100003]

In the absence of any customizations for a WSDL operation that meets the requirements for the wrapped sytle, the name of a mapped function parameter or struct member MUST be the value of the local name of the wrapper child with the first character converted to lower case. [C100004]

An application can customize this mapping using the sca-c:parameter binding declaration.

For library-based service implementations, an SCA implementation MUST map In parameters as pass by-value and In/Out and Out parameters as pass via pointers. [C100019]

For program-based service implementations, an SCA implementation MUST map all values in the input message as pass by-value and the updated values for In/Out parameters and all Out parameters in the response message as pass by-value. [C100020]

10.1.4 Types

As per section Data Binding (based on SDO type mapping).

MTOM/XOP content processing is left to the application.

10.1.5 Fault

C has no exceptions so an API is provided for getting and setting fault messages (see SCAGetFaultMessage and SCASetFaultMessage). Fault messages are mapped in same manner as input and output messages.

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the name of the message element referred to by a fault element to name of the struct describing the fault message content. If necessary, to avoid name collisions, an implementation MAY append “Fault” to the name of the message element when mapping to the struct name. [C100006]

An application can customize this mapping using the sca-c:struct binding declaration.

10.1.6 Service and Port

This mapping does not define generation of client side code.

10.1.7 XML Names

See comments in Operations

10.2Interpretations for C to WSDL Mapping

10.2.1 Package

Not relevant.

An SCA implementation SHOULD provide a default namespace mapping and this mapping SHOULD be configurable. [C100007]

10.2.2 Class

Not relevant since mapping is only based on declarations.

10.2.3 Interface

The declarations in a header file are used to define an interface. A header file can be used to define an interface if it satisfies either (for components implemented in libraries):

· Contains one or more function declarations

· Any of these functions declarations might carry a @WebFunction annotation

· The parameters and return types of these function declarations are compatible with the C to XML Schema mapping in Data Binding

or (for components implemented in programs):

· Contains one request message struct declarations

· Any of the request message struct declarations might carry a @WebOperation annotation

· Any of the request message struct declarations can have a corresponding response message struct, identified by either having a name with “Response” appended to the request message struct name or identified in a @WebOperation annotation

· Members of these struct declarations are compatible with the C to XML Schema mapping in Data Binding

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the header file name to the portType name. An implementation MAY append “PortType” to the header file name in the mapping to the portType name. [C100008]

An application can customize this mapping using the @WebService annotation.

10.2.4 Method

For components implemented in libraries, functions map to operations.

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the function name to the operation name, stripping the portType name, if present, and any namespace prefix from the function name from the front of function name before mapping it to the operation name. [C100009]

An application can customize function to operation mapping or exclude a function from an interface using the @WebFunction annotation.

For components implemented in programs, operations are mapped from request structs.

In the absence of customizations, a struct with a name that does not end in “Response” or “Fault” is considered to be a request message struct and an SCA implementation MUST map the struct name to the operation name, stripping the portType name, if present, and any namespace prefix from the front of the struct name before mapping it to the operation name. [C100010]

An application can customize stuct to operation mapping or exclude a struct from an interface using the @WebOperation annotation.

10.2.5 Method Parameters and Return Type

For components implemented in libraries, function parameters and return type map to either message or global element components.

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the parameter name, if present, to the part or global element component name. If the parameter does not have a name the SCA implementation MUST use argN as the part or global element child name. [C100011]

An application can customize parameter to message or global element component mapping using the @WebParam annotation.

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the return type to a part or global element child named “return”. [C100012]

An application can customize return type to message or global element component mapping using the @WebReturn annotation.

An SCA implementation MUST map:

· a function’s return value as an out parameter.

· by-value and const parameters as in parameters.

· in the absence of customizations, pointer parameters as in/out parameters. [C100017]

An application can customize parameter classification using the @WebParam annotation.

Program based implementation SHOULD use the Document-Literal style and encoding. [C100013]

In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the struct member name to the part or global element child name. [C100014]

An application can customize struct member to message or global element component mapping using the @WebParam annotation.

· Members of the request struct that are not members of the response struct are in parameters

· Members of the response struct that are not members of the request struct are out parameters

· Members of both the request and response structs are in/out parameters. Matching is done by member name. An SCA implementation MUST ensure that in/out parameters have the same type in the request and response structs. [C100015]

10.2.6 Service Specific Exception

C has no exceptions. A struct can be annotated as a fault message type. A function or operation declaration can be annotated to indicate that it potentially generates a specific fault.

An application can define a fault message format using the @WebFault annotation.

An application can indicate that a WSDL fault might be generated by a function or operation using the @WebThrows annotation.

10.2.7 Generics

Not relevant.

10.2.8 Service and Ports

An SCA runtime invokes function (or programs) as a result of receiving an operation request. No mapping to Service or Ports is defined by this specification.

10.3Data Binding

The data in wsdl:parts or wrapper children is mapped to and from C function parameters and return values (for llibrary-based component implementations), or struct members (for program-based component implementations and fault messages).

10.3.1 Simple Content Binding

The mapping between XSD simple content types and C types follows the convention defined in the SDO specification [SDO21]. The following table summarizes that mapping as it applies to SCA services.

*XSD Schema Type* à	*C Type*	*à XSD Schema Type*

Table 2: C type to XSD type mapping

The C standard does not define value ranges for integer types so it is possible that on a platform parameters or return values could have values that are out of range for the default XSD schema type. In these circumstances, the mapping would need to be customized, using @WebParam or @WebResult if supported, or some other implementation-specific mechanism.

An SCA implementation MUST map simple types as defined in Table 1 and Table 2 by default. [C100021]

An SCA implementation MAY map boolean to _Bool by default. [C100022]

10.3.1.1 WSDL to C Mapping Details

In general, when xsd:string and types derived from xsd:string map to a struct member, the mapping is to a combination of a wchar_t * and a separately allocated data array. If either the length or maxLength facet is used, then a wchar_t[] is used. If the pattern facet is used, this might allow the use of char and/or also constrain the length.

Example:

<xsd:element name=”myString” type=”xsd:string”/>

maps to:

wchar_t *myString;

/* this points to a dymically allocated buffer with the data */

<xsd:simpleType name=”boundedString25”>

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

<xsd:length value="25"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpletype>

…

<xsd:element name=”myString” type=”boundedString25”/>

maps to:

wchar_t myString[26];

· When unbounded binary data maps to a struct member, the mapping is to a char * that points to the location where the actual data is located. Like strings, if the binary data is bounded in length, a char[] is used.

Examples:

<xsd:elementname=”myData” type=”xsd:hexBinary”/>

maps to:

char *myData;

/* this points to a dymically allocated buffer with the data */

<xsd:simpleType name=”boundedData25”>

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:hexBinary">

<xsd:length value="25"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpletype>

…

<xsd:element name=”myData” type=”boundedData25”/>

maps to:

char myData[26];

· Since C does not have a way of representing unset values, when elements with minOccurs != maxOccurs and lists with minLength != maxLength, which have a variable, but bounded, number of instances, map to a struct, the mapping is to a count of the number of occurrences and an array. If the count is 0, then the contents of the array is undefined.

Examples:

<xsd:element name=”counts” type=”xsd:int” maxOccurs=”5”/>

maps to:

size_t counts_num;

int counts[5];

<xsd:simpleType name=”lineNumList”>

<xsd:list itemType=”xsd:int”/>

</xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:simpleType name=”lineNumList6”>

<xsd:restriction base="lineNumList ">

<xsd:minLength value="1"/>

<xsd:maxLength value=”6”/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpletype>

…

<xsd:element name=”lineNums” type=”lineNumList6”/>

maps to:

size_t lineNums_num;

long lineNums[6];

· Since C does not allow for unbounded arrays, when elements with maxOccurs = unbounded and lists without a defined length or maxLength, map to a struct, the mapping is to a count of the number of occurrences and a pointer to the location where the actual data is located as an array

Examples:

<xsd:element name=”counts” type=”xsd:int” maxOccurs=”unbounded”/>

maps to:

size_t counts_num;

int *counts;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated array of struct tm’s */

<xsd:simpleType name=”lineNumList”>

<xsd:list itemType=”xsd:int”/>

</xsd:simpleType>

…

<xsd:element name=”lineNums” type=”lineNumList”/>

maps to:

size_t lineNums_num;

long *lineNums;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated array of longs */

· Union Types are not supported.

10.3.1.2 C to WSDL Mapping Details

· wchar_t[] and char[] map to xsd:string with a maxLength facet.

· C arrays map as normal elements but with multiplicity allowed via the minOccurs and maxOccurs facets.

Example:

long myFunction(char* name, int idList[], double value);

maps to:

<xsd:element name="myFunction">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="idList" type="xsd:short"

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:double"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

· Multi-dimensional arrays map into nested elements.

Example:

long myFunction(int multiIdArray[][4][2]);

maps to:

<xsd:element name="myFunction">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="multiIdArray"

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="multiIdArray"

minOccurs="4" maxOccurs="4"/>

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="multiIdArray" type="xsd:short"

minOccurs="2" maxOccurs="2" />

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

· Except as detailed in the table above, pointers do not affect the type mapping, only the classification as in, out, or in/out.

10.3.2 Complex Content Binding

When mapping between XSD complex content types and C, either instances of SDO DataObjects or structs are used. An SCA implementation MUST support mapping message parts or global elements with complex types and parameters, return types, and struct members with a type defined by a struct. The mapping from WSDL MAY be to DataObjects and/or structs. The mapping to and from structs MUST follow the rules defined in WSDL to C Mapping Details. [C100016]

10.3.2.1 WSDL to C Mapping Details

· Complex types and groups mapped to static DataObjects follow the rules defined in [SDO21].

· Complex types and groups mapped to structs have the attributes and elements of the type mapped to members of the struct.

– The name of the struct is the name of the type or group.

– Attributes appear in the struct before elements.

– Simple types are mapped to members as described above.

– The same rules for variable number of instances of a simple type element apply to complex type elements.

– A sequence group is mapped as either a simple type or a complex type as appropriate.

Example:

<xsd:complexType name=”myType”>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="name">

<xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

<xsd:length value=”25”/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="idList" type="xsd:int"

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:double"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

maps to:

struct myType {

wchar_t name[26];

size_t idList_num;

long *idList;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated array of longs */

double value;

};

· While XML Schema allow the elements of an all group to appear in any order, the order is fixed in the C mapping. Each child of an all group is mapped as pointer to the value and value itself. If the child is not present, the pointer is NULL and the value is undefined.

Example:

<xsd:element name=”myVariable”>

<xsd:complexType name=”myType”>

<xsd:all>

<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="idList" type="xsd:int"

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:double"/>

</xsd:all>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

maps to:

struct myType {

wchar_t *name;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated string */

size_t idList_num;

long *idList;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated array of longs */

double *value;

/* this points to a dynamically allocated long */

} *pmyVariable, myVariable;

· Handing of choice groups is not defined by this mapping, and is implementation dependent. For portability, choice groups are discouraged in service interfaces.

· Nillable elements are mapped to a pointer to the value and the value itself. If the element is not present, the pointer is NULL and the value is undefined.

Example:

<xsd:element name="priority" type="xsd:short" nillable="true"/>

maps to:

int16_t *pprioiry, priority;

· Mixed content and open content (Any Attribute and Any Element) is supported via DataObjects.

10.3.2.2 C to WSDL Mapping Details

· C structs that contain types that can be mapped, are themselves mapped to complex types.

Example:

char *myFunction(struct DataStruct data, int id);

with the DataStruct type defined as a struct holding mappable types:

struct DataStruct {

char *name;

double value;

};

maps to:

<xsd:element name="myFunction">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="data" type="DataStruct" />

<xsd:element name="id" type="xsd:int"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="DataStruct">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:double"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

· char and wchar_t arrays inside of structs are mapped to a restricted subtype of xsd:string that limits the length the space allowed in the array.

Example:

struct DataStruct {

char name[256];

double value;

};

maps to:

<xsd:element name="myFunction">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="data" type="DataStruct" />

<xsd:element name="id" type="xsd:int"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="DataStruct">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="name">

<xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

</xsd:simpleType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:double"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

· C enums define a list of named symbols that map to values. If a function uses an enum type, this is mapped to a restricted element in the WSDL schema.

Example:

char *getValueFromType(enum ParameterType type);

with the ParameterType type defined as an enum:

enum ParameterType {

UNSET = 1,

TYPEA,

TYPEB,

TYPEC

};

maps to:

<xsd:element name="getValueFromType">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="type" type="ParameterType"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:simpleType name="ParameterType">

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:int">

<xs:minInclusive value="1"/>

<xs:maxInclusive value="4"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

The restriction used will have to be appropriate to the values of the enum elements.

Example:

enum ParameterType {

UNSET = 'u',

TYPEA = 'A',

TYPEB = 'B',

TYPEC = 'C'

};

maps to:

<xsd:simpleType name="ParameterType">

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:int">

<xsd:enumeration value="86"/> 

<xsd:enumeration value="65"/> 

<xsd:enumeration value="66"/> 

<xsd:enumeration value="67"/> 

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

· If a struct or enum contains other structs or enums, the mapping rules are applied recursively.

Example:

char *myFunction(struct DataStruct data);

with types defined as follows:

struct DataStruct {

char name[30];

double values[20];

ParameterType type;

};

enum ParameterType {

UNSET = 1,

TYPEA,

TYPEB,

TYPEC

};

maps to:

<xsd:element name="myFunction">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="data" type="DataStruct"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="DataStruct">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="name">

<xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

<xsd:maxLength value="29"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="values" type="xsd:double" minOccurs=20 maxOccurs=20/>

<xsd:element name="type" type=" ParameterType"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:simpleType name="ParameterType">

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:int">

<xs:minInclusive value="1"/>

<xs:maxInclusive value="4"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

· Handing of C unions is not defined by this mapping, and is implementation dependent. For portability, unions are discouraged in service interfaces.

· Typedefs are resolved when evaluating parameter and return types. Typedefs are resolved before the mapping to Schema is done.

· Handling for pre-processor directives is not defined by this mapping, and support is implementation dependent. For portability pre-processor directives are discouraged in service interfaces.

A C SCA Annotations

To allow developers to define SCA related information directly in source files, without having to separately author SCDL files, a set of annotations is defined. If SCA annotations are supported by an implementation, the annotations defined here MUST be supported and MUST be mapped to SCDL as described. The SCA runtime MUST only process the SCDL files and not the annotations. [CA0001]

A.1 Application of Annotations to C Program Elements

In general an annotation immediately precedes the program element it applies to. If multiple annotations apply to a program element, all of the annotations SHOULD be in the same comment block. [CA0002]

· Function or Function Prototype

The annotation immediately precedes the function definition or declaration.

Example:

/* @OneWay */

reportEvent(int eventID);

· Variable

The annotation immediately precedes the variable definition.

Example:

/* @Property */

long loanType;

· Set of Functions Implementing a Service

A set of functions implementing a service begins with an @Service annotations. Any annotations applying to this service as a whole immediately precede the @Service annotation. These annotations SHOULD be in the same comment block as the @Service annotation.

Example:

/* @Scope("composite")

* @Service(name="LoanService", interfaceHeader="loan.h") */

· Set of Function Prototypes Defining an Interface

To avoid any ambiguity about the application of an annotation to a specific function or the set of functions defining an interface, if an annotation is to apply to the interface as a whole, then the @Interface annotation is used, even in the case where there is just one interface defined in a header file. Any annotations applying to the interface immediately precede the @Interface annotation.

/* @Remoteable

* @Interface(name="LoanService" */

A.2 Interface Header Annotations

This section lists the annotations that can be used in the header file that defines a service interface.

A.2.1 @Interface

Annotation that indicates the start of a new interface definition. An SCA implementation MUST treat a file with a @WebService annotation specified as if @Interface was specified with the name value of the @WebService annotation used as the name value of the @Interface annotation. [CA0003]

Corresponds to: interface.c element

Format:

/* @Interface(name="serviceName") */

where

· name : NCName (1..1) – specifies the name of the service.

Applies to: Set of functions defining an interface.

Function declarations following this annotation form the definition of this interface. This annotation also serves to bound the scope of the remaining annotations in this section,

Example:

Interface header:

/* @Interface(name="LoanService") */

Service definition:

<interface.c header="loans.h" />

</service>

A.2.2 @Operation

Annotation that indicates that a function defines an operation of a service. There are two formats for this annotation depending on if the service is implemented as a set of subroutines or in a program. An SCA implementation MUST treat a function with a @WebFunction annotation specified, unless the exclude value of the @WebFunction annotation is true, as if @Operation was specified with the operationName value of the @WebFunction annotation used as the name value of the @Operation annotation. [CA0004] An SCA implementation MUST treat a struct with a @WebOperation annotation specified, unless the exclude value of the @WebOperation annotation is true, as if @Operation was specified with the stuct as the input value, the operationName value of the @WebOperation annotation used as the name value of the @Operation annotation and the response value of the @WebOperation annotation used as the output values of the @Operation annotation. [CA0005]

Corresponds to: function child element of an interface.c element

If the service is implemented as a set of subroutines, this format is used.

Format:

/* @Operation(name="operationName") */

where

· name : NCName (0..1) – gives the operation a different name than the function name.

Applies to (library based implementations): Function declaration

The function declaration following this annotation defines an operation of the current service. If no @Operation annotation exists in an interface definition, all the function declarations in a header file or following an @Interface annotation define the operations of a service, otherwise only the annotated function declarations define operations for the service.

Example:

Interface header (loans.h):

short internalFcn(char *param1, short param2);

/* @Operation(name="getRate") */

void rateFcn(char *cust, float *rate);

Interface definition:

<interface.c header="loans.h">

</interface.c>

If the service is implemented in a program, the following format is used. In this format, all operations are be defined via annotations.

Format:

/* @Operation(name="operationName", input="inputStuct", output="outputStruct") */

where

· name: NCName (1..1) – specifies the name of the operation.

· input : NCName (1..1) – specifies the name of a struct that defines the format of the input message.

· output : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name of a struct that defined the format of the output message if one is used.

Applies to (program based implementations): stuct declarations

Example:

Interface header (loans.h):

/* @Operation(name="getRate", input="rateInput", output="rateOutput") */

struct rateInput {

char cust[25];

int term;

};

struct rateOutput {

float rate;

int rateClass;

};

Interface definition:

<interface.c header="loans.h">

</interface.c>

A.2.3 @Remotable

Annotation on service interface to indicate that a service is remotable.

Corresponds to: @remotable=”true” attribute of an interface.c element.

Format:

/* @Remotable */

The default is false (not remotable).

Applies to: Interface

Example:

Interface header (LoanService.h):

/* @Remotable */

Service definition:

<interface.c header="LoanService.h" remotable="true" />

</service>

A.2.4 @Callback

Annotation on a service interface to specify the callback interface.

Corresponds to: @callbackHeader attribute of an interface.c element.

Format:

/* @Callback(header=”headerName”) */

where

· header : Name (1..1) – specifies the name of the header defining the callback service interface.

Applies to: Interface

Example:

Interface header (MyService.h):

/* @Callback(header="MyServiceCallback.h") */

Service definition:

<interface.c header="MyService.h" callbackHeader="MyServiceCallback.h" />

</service>

A.2.5 @OneWay

Annotation on a service interface function declaration to indicate the function is one way. The @OneWay annotation also affects the representation of a service in WSDL. See @OneWay.

Corresponds to: @oneWay=”true” attribute of function element of an interface.c element.

Format:

/* @OneWay */

The default is false (not OneWay).

Applies to: Function Prototype

Example:

Interface header:

/* @OneWay */

reportEvent(int eventID);

Service definition:

<interface.c header="LoanService.h">

</interface.c>

</service>

A.3 Implementation Annotations

This section lists the annotations that can be used in the file that implements a service.

A.3.1 @ComponentType

Annotation used to indicate the start of a new componentType.

Corresponds to: @componentType attribute of an implementation.c element.

Format:

/* @ComponentType */

Applies to: Set of services, references and properties

Example:

Implementation:

/* @ComponentType */

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService" />

</component>

A.3.2 @Service

Annotation that indicates the start of a new service implementation.

Corresponds to: implementation.c element

Format:

/* @Service(name="serviceName", interfaceHeader="headerFile") */

where

· name : NCName (1..1) – specifies the name of the service.

· interfaceHeader : Name (1..1) – specifies the C header defining the interface.

Applies to: Set of functions implementing a service

Function definitions following this annotation form the implementation of this service. This annotation also serves to bound the scope of the remaining annotations in this section,

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Service(name="LoanService", interfaceHeader="loan.h") */

ComponentType definition:

<interface.c header="loans.h" />

</service>

</componentType>

A.3.3 @Reference

Annotation on a service implementation to indicate it depends on another service providing a specified interface.

Corresponds to: reference element of a componentType element.

Format:

/* @Reference(name="referenceName", interfaceHeader="headerFile",

required="true", multiple="true")

where

· name : NCName (1..1) – specifies the name of the reference.

· interfaceHeader : Name (1..1) – specifies the C header defining the interface.

· required : boolean (0..1) – specifies whether a value has to be set for this reference. Default is true.

· multiple : boolean (0..1) – specifies whether this reference can be wired to multiple services. Default is false.

The multiplicity of the reference is determined from the required and multiple attributes. If the value of the multiple attribute is true, then component type has a reference with a multiplicity of either 0..n or 1..n depending on the value of the required attribute – 1..n applies if required=true. Otherwise a multiplicity of 0..1 or 1..1 is implied.

Applies to: Service

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Reference(name="getRate", interfaceHeader="rates.h") */

/* @Reference(name="publishRate", interfaceHeader="myRates.h",

required="false", multiple="yes")

ComponentType definition:

<interface.c header="rates.h">

</reference>

<interface.c header="myRates.h">

</reference>

</componentType>

A.3.4 @Property

Annotation on a service implementation to define a property of the service. Should iImmediately precedes the global variable that the property is based on. The variable declaration is only used for determining the type of the property. The variable will not be populated with the property value at runtime. Programs use the SCAProperty<Type>() functions for accessing property data.

Corresponds to: property element of a componentType element.

Format:

/* @Property(name="propertyName", type="typeName",

default="defaultValue", required="true")

where

· name : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name of the property. If name is not specified the property name is taken from the name of the global variable.

· type : QName (0..1) – specifies the type of the property. If not specified the type of the property is based on the C mapping of the type of the following global variable to an xsd type as defined in Data Binding. If the variable is an array, then the property is many-valued.

· required : boolean (0..1) – specifies whether a value has to be set in the component definition for this property. Default is false.

· default : <type> (0..1) – specifies a default value and is only needed if required is false.

Applies to: Variable

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Property */

long loanType;

ComponentType definition:

</componentType>

A.3.5 @Scope

Annotation on a service implementation to indicate the scope of the service.

Corresponds to: @scope attribute of an implementation.c element.

Format:

/* @Scope(“value”) */

where

· value : [stateless | composite] (1..1) – specifies the scope of the implementation. The default value is stateless.

Applies to: Service

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Scope("composite") */

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService"

scope="composite" />

</component>

A.3.6 @Init

Annotation on a service implementation to indicate a function to be called when the service is instantiated. If the service is implemented in a program, this annotation indicates the program is to be called with an initialization flag prior to the first operation.

Corresponds to: @ init=”true” attribute of an implementation.c element or a function child element of an implementation.c element.

Format:

/* @Init */

The default is false (the function is not to be called on service initialization).

Applies to: Function or Service

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Init */

void init();

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService">

</implementation.c>

</component>

A.3.7 @Destroy

Annotation on a service implementation to indicate a function to be called when the service is terminated. If the service is implemented in a program, this annotation indicates the program is to be called with a termination flag after to the final operation.

Corresponds to: @destroy=”true” attribute of an implementation.c element or a function child element of an implementation.c element.

Format:

/* @Destroy */

The default is false (the function is not to be called on service termination).

Applies to: Function or Service

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Destroy */

void cleanup();

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService">

</implementation.c>

</component>

A.3.8 @EagerInit

Annotation on a service implementation to indicate the service is to be instantiated when its containing component is started.

Corresponds to: @eagerInit=”true” attribute of an implementation.c element.

The default is false (the service is initialized lazily).

Applies to: Service

Example:

Implementation:

/* @EagerInit */

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService"

eagerInit="true" />

</component>

A.3.9 @AllowsPassByReference

Annotation on service implementation or operation to indicate that a service or operation allows pass by reference semantics.

Corresponds to: @allowsPassByReference=”true” attribute of an implementation.c element or a function child element of an implementation.c element.

Format:

/* @AllowsPassByReference */

The default is false (the service does not allow by reference parameters).

Applies to: Service or Function

Example:

Implementation:

/* @Service(name="LoanService")

* @AllowsPassByReference

Component definition:

<implementation.c module="loan" componentType="LoanService"

allowsPassByReference="true" />

</component>

A.4 Base Annotation Grammar

While annotations are defined using the /* … */ format for comments, if the // … format is supported by a C compiler, the // … format MAY be supported by an annotation processor.

<annotation> ::= /* @<baseAnnotation> */

<baseAnnotation> ::= <name> [(<params>)]

<params> ::= <paramNameValue>[, <paramNameValue>]* |

<paramValue>[, <paramValue>]*

<paramNameValue> ::= <name>=”<value>”

<paramValue> ::= “<value>”

<name> ::= NCName

<value> ::= string

· Adjacent string constants are concatenated

· NCName is as defined by XML schema [XSD]

· Whitespace including newlines between tokens is ignored.

· Annotations with parameters can span multiple lines within a comment, and are considered complete when the terminating “)” is reached.

B C SCA Policy Annotations

SCA provides facilities for the attachment of policy-related metadata to SCA assemblies, which influence how implementations, services and references behave at runtime. The policy facilities are described in [POLICY]. In particular, the facilities include Intents and Policy Sets, where intents express abstract, high-level policy requirements and policy sets express low-level detailed concrete policies.

Policy metadata can be added to SCA assemblies through the means of declarative statements placed into Composite documents and into Component Type documents. These annotations are completely independent of implementation code, allowing policy to be applied during the assembly and deployment phases of application development.

However, it can be useful and more natural to attach policy metadata directly to the code of implementations. This is particularly important where the policies concerned are relied on by the code itself. An example of this from the Security domain is where the implementation code expects to run under a specific security Role and where any service operations invoked on the implementation have to be authorized to ensure that the client has the correct rights to use the operations concerned. By annotating the code with appropriate policy metadata, the developer can rest assured that this metadata is not lost or forgotten during the assembly and deployment phases.

The SCA C policy annotations provide the capability for the developer to attach policy information to C implementation code. The annotations concerned first provide general facilities for attaching SCA Intents and Policy Sets to C code. Secondly, there are further specific annotations that deal with particular policy intents for certain policy domains such as Security.

B.1 General Intent Annotations

SCA provides the annotation @Requires for the attachment of any intent to a C function, to a C function declaration or to sets of functions implementing a service or sets of function declarations defining a service interface.

The @Requires annotation can attach one or multiple intents in a single statement.

Each intent is expressed as a string. Intents are XML QNames, which consist of a Namespace URI followed by the name of the Intent. The precise form used is as follows:

"{" + Namespace URI + "}" + intentname

Intents can be qualified, in which case the string consists of the base intent name, followed by a ".", followed by the name of the qualifier. There can also be multiple levels of qualification.

This representation is quite verbose, so we expect that reusable constants will be defined for the namespace part of this string, as well as for each intent that is used by C code. SCA defines constants for intents such as the following:

/* @Define SCA_PREFIX "{http://docs.oasis-pen.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903}" */

/* @Define CONFIDENTIALITY SCA_PREFIX ## "confidentiality" */

/* @Define CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE CONFIDENTIALITY ## ".message" */

Notice that, by convention, qualified intents include the qualifier as part of the name of the constant, separated by an underscore. These intent constants are defined in the file that defines an annotation for the intent (annotations for intents, and the formal definition of these constants, are covered in a following section).

Multiple intents (qualified or not) are expressed as separate strings within an array declaration.

Corresponds to: @requires attribute of a service, reference, operation or property element.

Format:

/* @Requires("qualifiedIntent" | {"qualifiedIntent" [, "qualifiedIntent"]}) */

where

qualifiedIntent ::= QName | QName.qualifier | QName.qualifier1.qualifier2

Applies to: Interface, Service, Function, Function Prototype

Examples:

Attaching the intents "confidentiality.message" and "integrity.message".

/* @Requires({CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE, INTEGRITY_MESSAGE}) */

A reference requiring support for confidentiality:

/* @Requires(CONFIDENTIALITY)

* @Reference(interfaceHeader="SetBar.h") */

void setBar(struct barType *bar);

Users can also choose to only use constants for the namespace part of the QName, so that they can add new intents without having to define new constants. In that case, this definition would instead look like this:

/* @Requires(SCA_PREFIX "confidentiality")

* @Reference(interfaceHeader="SetBar.h") */

void setBar(struct barType *bar);

B.2 Specific Intent Annotations

In addition to the general intent annotation supplied by the @Requires annotation described above, there are C annotations that correspond to some specific policy intents.

The general form of these specific intent annotations is an annotation with a name derived from the name of the intent itself. If the intent is a qualified intent, qualifiers are supplied as an attribute to the annotation in the form of a string or an array of strings.

For example, the SCA confidentiality intent described in General Intent Annotations using the @Requires(CONFIDENTIALITY) intent can also be specified with the specific @Confidentiality intent annotation. The specific intent annotation for the "integrity" security intent is:

/* @Integrity */

Corresponds to: @requires=”<Intent>” attribute of a service, reference, operation or property element.

Format:

/* @<Intent>[(qualifiers)] */

where Intent is an NCName that denotes a particular type of intent.

Intent ::= NCName

qualifiers ::= "qualifier" | {"qualifier" [, "qualifier"] }

qualifier ::= NCName | NCName/qualifier

Applies to: Interface, Service, Function, Function Prototype – but see specific intents for restrictions

Example:

/* @Authentication( {"message", "transport"} ) */

This annotation attaches the pair of qualified intents: authentication.message and authentication.transport (the sca: namespace is assumed in both of these cases – "http:// docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903").

The Policy Framework [POLICY] defines a number of intents and qualifiers. The following sections define the annotations for those intents.

B.2.1 Security Interaction

Intent	Annotation
authentication	@Authentication
confidentiality	@Confidentiality
integrity	@Integrity

These three intents can be qualified with

· transport

· message

B.2.2 Security Implementation

Intent	Annotation
runAs	@RunAs(role”role”)
Allow	@Allow(roles=”<comma separated list of roles>”)
permitAll	@PermitAll
denyAll	@DenyAll

In addition to allow roles to defined, an SCA runtime MAY use the following annotation

@DeclareRoles(<comma separated list of roles>”)

B.2.3 Reliable Messaging

Intent	Annotation
atLeastOnce	@AtLeastOnce
atMostOnce	@AtMostOnce
Ordered	@Ordered
exactlyOnce	@ExactlyOnce

B.2.4 Transactions

Intent	Annotation	Qualifiers
managedTransaction	@ManagedTransaction	Local global
transactedOneWay	@TransactedOneWay
immediateOneWay	@ImmediateOneWay
propagates Transaction	@PropagatesTransaction
suspendsTransaction	@SuspendsTransaction

B.2.5 Miscellaneous

B.3 Application of Intent Annotations

Where multiple intent annotations (general or specific) are applied to the same C element, they are additive in effect. An example of multiple policy annotations being used together follows:

/* @Authentication
* @Requires({CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE, INTEGRITY_MESSAGE}) */

In this case, the effective intents are authentication, confidentiality.message and integrity.message.

If an annotation is specified at both the implementation/interface level and the function or variable level, then the function or variable level annotation completely overrides the implementation/interface level annotation of the same type.

The intent annotation can be applied either to interface or to functions when adding annotated policy on SCA services.

B.4 Policy Annotation Scope

The following examples show scope of intents on functions, function declarations and sets of each.

/* @Remotable

* @Integrity("transport")

* @Authentication

* @Service(name="HelloService", interfaceHeader="helloservice.h") */

/* @Integrity

* @Authentication("message")*/

wchar_t* hello(wchar_t* message) {...}

/* @Integrity

* @Authentication("transport") */

wchar_t* helloThere() {...}

/* @Remotable

* @Confidentiality("message")

* @Service(name="HelloHelperService", interfaceHeader="helloService.h") */

/* @Confidentiality("transport") */

wchar_t* hello(wchar_t* message) {...}

/* @Authentication */

wchar_t* helloWorld(){...}

Example 1a. Usage example of annotated policy and inheritance.

· The effective intent annotation on the helloWorld function is @Authentication, and @Confidentiality(“message”).

· The effective intent annotation on the hello function of the HelloHelperService is @Confidentiality(“transport”),

· The effective intent annotation on the helloThere function of the HelloService is @Integrity and @Authentication(“transport”).

· The effective intent annotation on the hello function of the HelloService is @Integrity and @Authentication(“message”)

The listing below contains the equivalent declarative security interaction policy of the HelloService and HelloHelperService implementation corresponding to the Java interfaces and classes shown in Example 1a.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>

<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"

name="HelloServiceComposite" >

...

<service name="HelloService" requires="integrity/transport

authentication">

…

</service>

<implementation.c module="HelloService.dll"

componentType="LoanService" header="HelloService.h">

<function name="hello" requires="integrity

authentication/message"/>

<function name="helloThere" requires="integrity

authentication/transport"/>

</implementation.c>

</component>

<service name="HelloHelperService" requires="integrity/transport

authentication confidentiality/message">

…

</service>

<implementation.c module="HelloService.dll"

componentType="LoanService" header="HelloService.h">

</implementation.c>

</component>

...

</composite>

Example 1b. Declaratives intents equivalent to annotated intents in Example 1a.

B.5 Relationship of Declarative And Annotated Intents

Annotated intents on a C functions or function declarations cannot be overridden by declarative intents either in a composite document which uses the functions as an implementation or by statements in a componentType document associated with the functions. This rule follows the general rule for intents that they represent fundamental requirements of an implementation.

An unqualified version of an intent expressed through an annotation in the C function or function declaration can be qualified by a declarative intent in a using composite document.

B.6 Policy Set Annotations

The SCA Policy Framework uses Policy Sets to capture detailed low-level concrete policies (for example, a concrete policy is the specific encryption algorithm to use when encrypting messages when using a specific communication protocol to link a reference to a service).

Policy Sets can be applied directly to C implementations using the @PolicySets annotation. The PolicySets annotation either takes the QName of a single policy set as a string or the name of two or more policy sets as an array of strings.

Corresponds to: @policySets attribute of a service, reference, operation or property element.

Format:

/* @PolicySets( "<policy set QName>" |
* { "<policy set QName>" [, "<policy set QName>"] }) */

As for intents, PolicySet names are QNames – in the form of “{Namespace-URI}localPart”.

Applies to: Interface, Service, Function, Function Prototype

Example:

/* @Reference(name="helloService", interfaceHeader="helloService.h",

* required=true)

* @PolicySets({ MY_NS "WS_Encryption_Policy",

* MY_NS "WS_Authentication_Policy" }) */

HelloService* helloService;

…

}

In this case, the Policy Sets WS_Encryption_Policy and WS_Authentication_Policy are applied, both using the namespace defined for the constant MY_NS.

PolicySets satisfy intents expressed for the implementation when both are present, according to the rules defined in [POLICY].

B.7 Policy Annotation Grammar Additions

<annotation> ::= /* @<baseAnnotation> | @<requiresAnnotation> |

@<intentAnnotation> | @<policySetAnnotation> */

<requiresAnnotation> ::= Requires(<intents>)

<intents> ::= “<qualifiedIntent>” |

{“<qualifiedIntent>”[, “<qualifiedIntent>”]*})

<qualifiedIntent> ::= <intentName> | <intentName>.<qualifier> |

<intentName>.<qualifier>.qualifier>

<intentName> ::= {anyURI}NCName

<intentAnnotation> ::= <intent>[(<qualifiers>)]

<intent> ::= NCName[(param)]

C C WSDL Annotations

To allow developers to control the mapping of C to WSDL, a set of annotations is defined. If WSDL mapping annotations are supported by an implementation, the annotations defined here MUST be supported and MUST be mapped to WSDL as described. [CC0005]

C.1 Interface Header Annotations

C.1.1 @WebService

Annotation on a C header file indicating that it represents a web service. A second or subsequent instance of this annotation in a file, or a first instance after any function declarations indicates the start of a new service and has to contain a name value. An SCA implementation MUST treat any instance of a @Interface annotation and without an explicit @WebService annotation as if a @WebService annotation with a name value equal to the name value of the @Interface annotation and no other parameters was specified. [CC0001]

Corresponds to: javax.jws.WebService annotation in the JAX-WS specification (7.11.1)

Format:

/* @WebService(name="portTypeName", targetNamespace="namespaceURI",

* serviceName="WSDLServiceName", portName="WSDLPortName") */

where

· name : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name of the web service portType. The default is the root name of the header file containing the annotation.

· targetNamespace : anyURI (0..1) – specifies the target namespace for the web service. The default namespace is determined by the implementation.

· serviceName : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name for the associated WSDL service. The default service name is the name of the header file containing the annotation suffixed with “Service”. The name of the associated binding is also determined by the serviceName. In the case of a SOAP binding, the binding name is the name of the service suffixed with “SoapBinding”.

· portName : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name for the associated WSDL port for the service. If a @WebService does not have a portName element, an SCA implementation MUST use the value associated with the name element, suffixed with “Port”. [CC0008]

Applies to: Header file

Example:

Input C header file (stockQuote.h):

/* @WebService(name="StockQuote", targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/",

* serviceName="StockQuoteService") */

…

C.1.2 @WebFunction

Annotation on a C function indicating that it represents a web service operation. An SCA implementation MUST treat a function annotated with an @Operation annotation and without an explicit @WebFunction annotation as if a @WebFunction annotation with with an operationName value equal to the name value of the @Operation annotation and no other parameters was specified. [CC0002]

Corresponds to: javax.jws.WebMethod annotation in the JAX-WS specification (7.11.2)

Format:

/* @WebFunction(operationName="operation", action="SOAPAction",

* exclude="false") */

where:

· operationName : NCName (0..1) – specifies the name of the WSDL operation to associate with this function. The default is the name of the C function the annotation is applied to omitting any preceding namespace prefix and portType name.

· action : string (0..1) – specifies the value associated with the soap:operation/@soapAction attribute in the resulting code. The default value is an empty string.

· exclude : boolean (0..1) – specifies whether this function is included in the web service interface. The default value is “false”.

Applies to: Function.

Example:

Input C header file:

/* @WebService(name="StockQuote", targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/",

* serviceName="StockQuoteService") */

/* @WebFunction(operationName="GetLastTradePrice",

* action="urn:GetLastTradePrice") */

C.1.9 @WebThrows

Annotation on a C function or operation indicating which faults might be thrown by this function or operation.

Corresponds to: No equivalent in JAX-WS.

Format:

/* @WebThrows(faults="faultMsg1"[, "faultMsgn"]*) */

where:

· faults : NMTOKEN (1..n) – specifies the names of all faults that might be thrown by this function or operation. The name of the fault is the name of its associated C struct name. A C struct that is listed in a @WebThrows annotation MUST itself have a @WebFault annotation. [CC0004]

Applies to: Function or Operation

Example:

See @WebFault.

D C WSDL Mapping Extensions

The following WSDL extensions are used to augment the conversion process from WSDL to C. All of these extensions are defined in the namespace http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca-c-cpp/c/200901. For brevity, all definitions of these extensions will be fully qualified, and all references to the “sca-c” prefix are associated with the namespace above. If WSDL extensions are supported by an implementation, all the extensions defined here MUST be supported and MUST be mapped to C as described. [CD0001]

D.1 <sca-c:bindings>

<sca-c:bindings> is a container type which can be used as a WSDL extension. All other SCA wsdl extensions will be specified as children of a <sca-c:bindings> element. An <sca-c:bindings> element can be used as an extension to any WSDL type that accepts extensions.

D.2 <sca-c:prefix>

<sca-c:prefix> provides a mechanism for defining an alternate prefix for the functions or structs implementing the operations of a portType.

Format:

<sca-c:prefix name="portTypePrefix"/>

where:

· prefix/@name : string (1..1) – specifies the string to prepend to an operation name when generating a C function or structure name.

Applicable WSDL element(s):

· wsdl:portType

A <sca-c:bindings/> element MUST NOT have more than one < sca-c:prefix/> child element. [CD0003]

D.3 <sca-c:enableWrapperStyle>

<sca-c:enableWrapperStyle> indicates whether or not the wrapper style for messages is applied, when otherwise applicable. If false, the wrapper style will never be applied.

Format:

<sca-c:enableWrapperStyle>value</sca-c:enableWrapperStyle>

where:

· enableWrapperStyle/text() : boolean (1..1) – specifies whether wrapper style is enabled or disabled for this element and any of it’s children. The default value is “true”.

Applicable WSDL element(s):

[CD0007] The following is a list of JAX-WS WSDL extensions that MAY be recognized, and their corresponding SCA WSDL extension.

JAX-WS Extension	SCA Extension
jaxws:bindings	sca-c:bindings
jaxws:class	sca-c:prefix
jaxws:method	sca-c:function
jaxws:parameter	sca-c:parameter
jaxws:enableWrapperStyle	sca-c:enableWrapperStyle

F Conformance Items

This section contains a list of conformance items for the SCA C Client and Implementation Model specification.

Conformance ID	Description
[C20001]	A C implementation MUST implement all of the operation(s) of the service interface(s) of its componentType.
[C20003]	An SCA runtime MUST support these scopes; stateless and composite. Additional scopes MAY be provided by SCA runtimes.
[C20004]	A C implementation MUST only designate functions with no arguments and a void return type as lifecycle functions.
[C20006]	If the header file identified by the @header attribute of an <interface.c/> element contains function declarations that are not operations of the interface, then the functions that define operations of the interface MUST be identified using <function/> child elements of the <interface.c/> element.
[C20007]	If the header file identified by the @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element contains function declarations that are not operations of the callback interface, then the functions that define operations of the callback interface MUST be identified using <callbackFunction/> child elements of the <interface.c/> element.
[C20008]	If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then all functions of the interface (callback interface) MUST be identified using <function/> (<callbackFunction/>) child elements of the <interface.c/> element.
[C20009]	The @name attribute of a <function/> child element of a <interface.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <function/> elements of that <interface.c/>.
[C20010]	The @name attribute of a <callbackFunction/> child element of a <interface.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <callbackFunction/> elements of that <interface.c/>.
[C20011]	If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then the struct defining the input message format MUST be identified using an @input attribute.
[C20012]	If the header file identified by the @header or @callbackHeader attribute of an <interface.c/> element defines the operations of the interface (callback interface) using message formats, then the struct defining the output message format MUST be identified using an @input attribute.
[C20013]	The @name attribute of a <function/> child element of a <implementation.c/> MUST be unique amongst the <function/> elements of that <implementation.c/>.
[C20014]	An SCA runtime MUST ensure that a stateless scoped implementation instance object is only ever dispatched on one thread at any one time. In addition, within the SCA lifecycle of an instance, an SCA runtime MUST only make a single invocation of one business method.
[C20015]	An SCA runtime MAY run multiple threads in a single composite scoped implementation instance object and it MUST NOT perform any synchronization.
[C20016]	The SCA runtime MAY use by-reference semantics when passing input parameters, return values or exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same system address space if both the service function implementation and the client are marked “allows pass by reference”.
[C20017]	The SCA runtime MUST use by-value semantics when passing input parameters, return values and exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same system address space if the service function implementation is not marked “allows pass by reference” or the client is not marked “allows pass by reference”.
[C30001]	An SCA implementation MAY support proxy functions.
[C40001]	An operation marked as oneWay is considered non-blocking and the SCA runtime MAY use a binding that buffers the requests to the function and sends them at some time after they are made.
[C50001]	Vendor defined reason codes SHOULD start at 101.
[C60002]	An SCA runtime MAY additionally provide a DataObject variant of this API for handling properties with complex XML types. The type of the value parameter in this variant is DATAOBJECT.
[C60003]	A SCA runtime MAY provide the functions SCAService(), SCAOperation(), SCAMessageIn() and SCAMessageOut() to support C implementations in programs.
[C70001]	The @name attribute of a <export.c/> element MUST be unique amongst the <export.c/> elements in a domain.
[C70002]	The @name attribute of a <import.c/> child element of a <contribution/> MUST be unique amongst the <import.c/> elements in of that contribution.
[C80001]	The return type and types of the parameters of a function of a local service interface MUST be one of: · Any of the C primitive types (for example, int, short, char). In this case the data will be passed by value as is normal for C. · Pointers to any of the C primitive types (for example, int , short , char *). · DATAOBJECT. An SDO handle.
[C80002]	The return type and types of the parameters of a function of a remotable service interface MUST be one of: · Any of the C primitive types (for example, int, short, char). This will be copied. · DATAOBJECT. An SDO handle. The SDO will be copied and passed to the destination.
[C90001]	A C header file used to define an interface MUST: · Declare at least one function or message format struct
[C90002]	A C header file used to define an interface MUST NOT use the following constructs: · Macros
[C100001]	In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation SHOULD map each portType to separate header file. An SCA implementation MAY use any sca-c:prefix binding declarations to control this mapping.
[C100002]	For components implemented in libraries, in the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST concatenate the portType name, with the first character converted to lower case, and the operation name, with the first character converted to upper case, to form the function.
[C100003]	In the absence of any customizations for a WSDL operation that does not meet the requirements for the wrapped style, the name of a mapped function parameter or struct member MUST be the value of the name attribute of the wsdl:part element with the first character converted to lower case.
[C100004]	In the absence of any customizations for a WSDL operation that meets the requirements for the wrapped sytle, the name of a mapped function parameter or struct member MUST be the value of the local name of the wrapper child with the first character converted to lower case.
[C100005]	For components implemented in a program, in the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST concatenate the portType name, with the first character converted to lower case, and the operation name, with the first character converted to upper case, to form the request stuct name. Additionally an SCA implementation MUST append “Response” to the request struct name to form the response struct name.
[C100006]	In the absence of customizations, an SCA implementation MUST map the name of the message element referred to by a fault element to name of the struct describing the fault message content. If necessary, to avoid name collisions, an implementation MAY append “Fault” to the name of the message element when mapping to the struct name.
[C100007]	An SCA implementation SHOULD provide a default namespace mapping and this mapping SHOULD be configurable.
