1 Introduction

The SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs specification defines a Java syntax for programming concepts defined in the SCA Assembly Model Specification [ASSEMBLY]. It specifies a set of APIs and annotations that can be used by SCA Java-based specifications.

Specifically, this specification covers:

1. Implementation metadata for specifying component services, references, and properties

2. A client and component API

3. Metadata for asynchronous services

4. Metadata for callbacks

5. Definitions of standard component implementation scopes

6. Java to WSDL and WSDL to Java mappings

7. Security policy annotations

The goal of defining the annotations and APIs in this specification is to promote consistency and reduce duplication across the various SCA Java-based specifications. The annotations and APIs defined in this specification are designed to be used by other SCA Java-based specifications in either a partial or complete fashion.

2 Implementation Metadata

This section describes SCA Java-based metadata, which applies to Java-based implementation types.

2.1 Service Metadata

2.1.1 @Service

The @Service annotation is used on a Java class to specify the interfaces of the services provided by the implementation. Service interfaces are defined in one of the following ways:

· As a Java interface

· As a Java class

· As a Java interface generated from a Web Services Description Language [WSDL] (WSDL) portType (Java interfaces generated from WSDL portTypes are always remotable)

2.1.2 Java Semantics of a Remotable Service

A remotable service is defined using the @Remotable annotation on the Java interface or Java class that defines the service, or on a service reference. Remotable services are intended to be used for coarse grained services, and the parameters are passed by-value. Remotable Services MUST NOT make use of method overloading. [JCA20001]

Snippet 2‑1 shows an example of a Java interface for a remotable service:

package services.hello;

@Remotable

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String message);

}

Snippet 2‑1: Remotable Java Interface

2.1.3 Java Semantics of a Local Service

A local service can only be called by clients that are deployed within the same address space as the component implementing the local service.

A local interface is defined by a Java interface or a Java class with no @Remotable annotation.

Snippet 2‑2 shows an example of a Java interface for a local service:

package services.hello;

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String message);

}

Snippet 2‑2: Local Java Interface

The style of local interfaces is typically fine grained and is intended for tightly coupled interactions.

The data exchange semantic for calls to local services is by-reference. This means that implementation code which uses a local interface needs to be written with the knowledge that changes made to parameters (other than simple types) by either the client or the provider of the service are visible to the other.

2.1.4 @Reference

Accessing a service using reference injection is done by defining a field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter typed by the service interface and annotated with a @Reference annotation.

2.1.5 @Property

Implementations can be configured with data values through the use of properties, as defined in the SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY]. The @Property annotation is used to define an SCA property.

2.2 Implementation Scopes: @Scope, @Init, @Destroy

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 a visibility and lifecycle contract an implementation has with the SCA 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 implementation scope.

Scopes are specified using the @Scope annotation on the implementation class.

This specification defines two scopes:

· STATELESS

· COMPOSITE

Java-based implementation types can choose to support any of these scopes, and they can define new scopes specific to their type.

An implementation type can allow component implementations to declare lifecycle methods that are called when an implementation is instantiated or the scope is expired.

@Init denotes a method called upon first use of an instance during the lifetime of the scope (except for composite scoped implementation marked to eagerly initialize, see section Composite Scope).

@Destroy specifies a method called when the scope ends.

Note that only no-argument methods with a void return type can be annotated as lifecycle methods.

Snippet 2‑3 is an example showing a fragment of a service implementation annotated with lifecycle methods:

@Init

public void start() {

...

}

@Destroy

public void stop() {

...

}

Snippet 2‑3: Java Component Implementation with Lifecycle Methods

The following sections specify the two standard scopes which a Java-based implementation type can support.

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. This means that the SCA runtime MUST ensure that a stateless scoped implementation instance object is only ever dispatched on one thread at any one time. [JCA20002] In addition, within the SCA lifecycle of a stateless scoped implementation instance, the SCA runtime MUST only make a single invocation of one business method. [JCA20003] Note that the SCA lifecycle might not correspond to the Java object lifecycle due to runtime techniques such as pooling.

2.2.2 Composite Scope

The meaning of "composite scope" is defined in relation to the composite containing the component.

It is important to distinguish between different uses of a composite, where these uses affect the numbers of instances of components within the composite. There are 2 cases:

a) Where the composite containing the component using the Java implementation is the SCA Domain (i.e. a deployment composite declares the component using the implementation)

b) Where the composite containing the component using the Java implementation is itself used as the implementation of a higher level component (any level of nesting is possible, but the component is NOT at the Domain level)

Where an implementation is used by a "domain level component", and the implementation is marked "Composite" scope, the SCA runtime MUST ensure that all consumers of the component appear to be interacting with a single runtime instance of the implementation. [JCA20004]

Where an implementation is marked "Composite" scope and it is used by a component that is nested inside a composite that is used as the implementation of a higher level component, the SCA runtime MUST ensure that all consumers of the component appear to be interacting with a single runtime instance of the implementation. There can be multiple instances of the higher level component, each running on different nodes in a distributed SCA runtime. [JCA20008]

The SCA runtime can exploit shared state technology in combination with other well known high availability techniques to provide the appearance of a single runtime instance for consumers of composite scoped components.

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.

When the implementation class is marked for eager initialization, the SCA runtime MUST create a composite scoped instance when its containing component is started. [JCA20005] If a method of an implementation class is marked with the @Init annotation, the SCA runtime MUST call that method when the implementation instance is created. [JCA20006]

The concurrency model for the composite scope is multi-threaded. This means that the SCA runtime MAY run multiple threads in a single composite scoped implementation instance object and the SCA runtime MUST NOT perform any synchronization. [JCA20007]

2.3 @AllowsPassByReference

Calls to remotable services (see section "Java Semantics of a Remotable Service") 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 implementation. 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 method calls within the same JVM, Java language calling semantics are 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 mutable objects 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. The @AllowsPassByReference annotation allows service method implementations and client references to be marked as “allows pass by reference” to indicate that they use input parameters, return values and exceptions in a manner that allows the SCA runtime to avoid the cost of copying mutable objects when a remotable service is called locally within the same JVM.

2.3.1 Marking Services as “allows pass by reference”

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

· Method execution will not modify any input parameter before the method returns.

· The service implementation will not retain a reference to any mutable input parameter, mutable return value or mutable exception after the method returns.

· The method will observe “allows pass by reference” client semantics (see section ‎2.3.2) for any callbacks that it makes.

See section "@AllowsPassByReference" for details of how the @AllowsPassByReference annotation is used to mark a service method implementation as “allows pass by reference”.

2.3.2 Marking References as “allows pass by reference”

Marking a client reference as “allows pass by reference” asserts that method calls through the reference observe the following restrictions:

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

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

See section "Applying “allows pass by reference” to Service Proxies" for details of how the @AllowsPassByReference annotation is used to mark a client reference as “allows pass by reference”.

2.3.3 Applying “allows pass by reference” to Service Proxies

Service method calls are made by clients using service proxies, which can be obtained by injection into client references or by making API calls. A service proxy is marked as “allows pass by reference” if and only if any of the following applies:

· It is injected into a reference or callback reference that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling ComponentContext.getService() or ComponentContext.getServices() with the name of a reference that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling RequestContext.getCallback() from a service implementation that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling ServiceReference.getService() on a service reference that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

A service reference for a remotable service call is marked “allows pass by reference” if and only if any of the following applies:

· It is injected into a reference or callback reference that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling ComponentContext.getServiceReference() or ComponentContext.getServiceReferences() with the name of a reference that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling RequestContext.getCallbackReference() from a service implementation that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

· It is obtained by calling ComponentContext.cast() on a proxy that is marked “allows pass by reference”.

2.3.4 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 JVM if both the service method implementation and the service proxy used by the client are marked “allows pass by reference”. [JCA20009]

The SCA runtime MUST use by-value semantics when passing input parameters, return values and exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same JVM if the service method implementation is not marked “allows pass by reference” or the service proxy used by the client is not marked “allows pass by reference”. [JCA20010]

3 Interface

This section describes the SCA Java interface element and the SCA metadata for Java interfaces.

3.1 Java Interface Element – <interface.java>

The Java interface element is used in SCA Documents in places where an interface is declared in terms of a Java interface class. The Java interface element identifies the Java interface class and can also identify a callback interface, where the first Java interface represents the forward (service) call interface and the second interface represents the interface used to call back from the service to the client.

It is possible that the Java interface class referenced by the <interface.java/> element contains one or more annotations defined by the JAX-WS specification [JAX-WS]. These annotations can affect the interpretation of the <interface.java/> element. In the most extreme case, the annotations cause the replacement of the <interface.java/> element with an <interface.wsdl/> element. The relevant JAX-WS annotations and their effects on the <interface.java/> element are described in the section "JAX-WS Annotations and SCA Interfaces".

The interface.java element MUST conform to the schema defined in the sca-interface-java.xsd schema. [JCA30004]

Snippet 3‑1 is the pseudo-schema for the interface.java element

<interface.java interface="NCName" callbackInterface="NCName"?
 requires="list of xs:QName"?
 policySets="list of xs:QName"?
 remotable="boolean"?/>

Snippet 3‑1: interface.java Pseudo-Schema

The interface.java element has the attributes:

· interface : NCName (1..1) – the Java interface class to use for the service interface. The value of the @interface attribute MUST be the fully qualified name of the Java interface class [JCA30001]

If the identified class is annotated with either the JAX-WS @WebService or @WebServiceProvider annotations and the annotation has a non-empty wsdlLocation property, then the SCA Runtime MUST act as if an <interface.wsdl/> element is present instead of the <interface.java/> element, with an @interface attribute identifying the portType mapped from the Java interface class and containing @requires and @policySets attribute values equal to the @requires and @policySets attribute values of the <interface.java/> element. [JCA30010]

· callbackInterface : NCName (0..1) – the Java interface class to use for the callback interface. The value of the @callbackInterface attribute MUST be the fully qualified name of a Java interface used for callbacks [JCA30002]

· requires : QName (0..1) – a list of policy intents. See the Policy Framework specification [POLICY] for a description of this attribute

· policySets : QName (0..1) – a list of policy sets. See the Policy Framework specification [POLICY] for a description of this attribute.

· remotable : boolean (0..1) – indicates whether or not the interface is remotable. A value of “true” means the interface is remotable and a value of “false” means it is not. This attribute does not have a default value. If it is not specified then the remotability is determined by the presence or absence of the @Remotable annotation on the interface class. The @remotable attribute applies to both the interface and any optional callbackInterface. The @remotable attribute is intended as an alternative to using the @Remotable annotation on the interface class. The value of the @remotable attribute on the <interface.java/> element does not override the presence of a @Remotable annotation on the interface class and so if the interface class contains a @Remotable annotation and the @remotable attribute has a value of "false", then the SCA Runtime MUST raise an error and MUST NOT run the component concerned. [JCA30005]

Snippet 3‑2 shows an example of the Java interface element:

<interface.java interface="services.stockquote.StockQuoteService"

callbackInterface="services.stockquote.StockQuoteServiceCallback"/>

Snippet 3‑2 Example interface.java Element

Here, the Java interface is defined in the Java class file ./services/stockquote/StockQuoteService.class, where the root directory is defined by the contribution in which the interface exists. Similarly, the callback interface is defined in the Java class file ./services/stockquote/StockQuoteServiceCallback.class.

Note that the Java interface class identified by the @interface attribute can contain a Java @Callback annotation which identifies a callback interface. If this is the case, then it is not necessary to provide the @callbackInterface attribute. However, if the Java interface class identified by the @interface attribute does contain a Java @Callback annotation, then the Java interface class identified by the @callbackInterface attribute MUST be the same interface class. [JCA30003]

For the Java interface type system, parameters and return types of the service methods are described using Java classes or simple Java types. It is recommended that the Java Classes used conform to the requirements of either JAXB [JAX-B] or of Service Data Objects [SDO] because of their integration with XML technologies.

3.2 @Remotable

The @Remotable annotation on a Java interface, a service implementation class, or a service reference denotes an interface or class that is designed to be used for remote communication. Remotable interfaces are intended to be used for coarse grained services. Operations' parameters, return values and exceptions are passed by-value. Remotable Services are not allowed to make use of method overloading.

3.3 @Callback

A callback interface is declared by using a @Callback annotation on a Java service interface, with the Java Class object of the callback interface as a parameter. There is another form of the @Callback annotation, without any parameters, that specifies callback injection for a setter method or a field of an implementation.

3.4 @AsyncInvocation

An interface can be annotated with @AsyncInvocation or with the equivalent @Requires("sca:asyncInvocation") annotation to indicate that request/response operations of that interface are long running and that response messages are likely to be sent an arbitrary length of time after the initial request message is sent to the target service. This is described in the SCA Assembly Specification [ASSEMBLY].

For a service client, it is strongly recommended that the client uses the asynchronous form of the client interface when using a reference to a service with an interface annotated with @AsyncInvocation, using either polling or callbacks to receive the response message. See the sections "Asynchronous Programming" and the section "JAX-WS Client Asynchronous API for a Synchronous Service" for more details about the asynchronous client API.

For a service implementation, SCA provides an asynchronous service mapping of the WSDL request/response interface which enables the service implementation to send the response message at an arbitrary time after the original service operation is invoked. This is described in the section "Asynchronous handling of Long Running Service Operations".

3.5 SCA Java Annotations for Interface Classes

A Java interface referenced by the @interface attribute of an <interface.java/> element MUST NOT contain any of the following SCA Java annotations:

@AllowsPassByReference, @ComponentName, @Constructor, @Context, @Destroy, @EagerInit, @Init, @Intent, @Property, @Qualifier, @Reference, @Scope, @Service. [JCA30006]

A Java interface referenced by the @callbackInterface attribute of an <interface.java/> element MUST NOT contain any of the following SCA Java annotations:

@AllowsPassByReference, @Callback, @ComponentName, @Constructor, @Context, @Destroy, @EagerInit, @Init, @Intent, @Property, @Qualifier, @Reference, @Scope, @Service. [JCA30007]

3.6 Compatibility of Java Interfaces

The SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY] defines a number of criteria that need to be satisfied in order for two interfaces to be compatible or have a compatible superset or subset relationship. If these interfaces are both Java interfaces, compatibility also means that every method that is present in both interfaces is defined consistently in both interfaces with respect to the @OneWay annotation, that is, the annotation is either present in both interfaces or absent in both interfaces. [JCA30009]

4 SCA Component Implementation Lifecycle

This section describes the lifecycle of an SCA component implementation.

4.1 Overview of SCA Component Implementation Lifecycle

At a high level, there are 3 main phases through which an SCA component implementation will transition when it is used by an SCA Runtime:

· The Initialization phase. This involves constructing an instance of the component implementation class and injecting any properties and references. Once injection is complete, the method annotated with @Init is called, if present, which provides the component implementation an opportunity to perform any internal initialization it requires.

· The Running phase. This is where the component implementation has been initialized and the SCA Runtime can dispatch service requests to it over its Service interfaces.

· The Destroying phase. This is where the component implementation’s scope has ended and the SCA Runtime destroys the component implementation instance. The SCA Runtime calls the method annotated with @Destroy, if present, which provides the component implementation an opportunity to perform any internal clean up that is required.

4.2 SCA Component Implementation Lifecycle State Diagram

The state diagram in Figure 4‑1 shows the lifecycle of an SCA component implementation. The sections that follow it describe each of the states that it contains.

It should be noted that some component implementation specifications might not implement all states of the lifecycle. In this case, that state of the lifecycle is skipped over.

Figure 4‑1: SCA - Component Implementation Lifecycle

4.2.1 Constructing State

The SCA Runtime MUST call a constructor of the component implementation at the start of the Constructing state. [JCA40001] The SCA Runtime MUST perform any constructor reference or property injection when it calls the constructor of a component implementation. [JCA40002]

The result of invoking operations on any injected references when the component implementation is in the Constructing state is undefined.

When the constructor completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Injecting state. [JCA40003] If an exception is thrown whilst in the Constructing state, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state. [JCA40004]

4.2.2 Injecting State

When a component implementation instance is in the Injecting state, the SCA Runtime MUST first inject all field and setter properties that are present into the component implementation. [JCA40005] The order in which the properties are injected is unspecified.

When a component implementation instance is in the Injecting state, the SCA Runtime MUST inject all field and setter references that are present into the component implementation, after all the properties have been injected. [JCA40006] The order in which the references are injected is unspecified.

The SCA Runtime MUST ensure that the correct synchronization model is used so that all injected properties and references are made visible to the component implementation without requiring the component implementation developer to do any specific synchronization. [JCA40007]

The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation is in the Injecting state. [JCA40008]

The result of invoking operations on any injected references when the component implementation is in the Injecting state is undefined.

When the injection of properties and references completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Initializing state. [JCA40009] If an exception is thrown whilst injecting properties or references, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state. [JCA40010] If a property or reference is unable to be injected, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state. [JCA40024]

4.2.3 Initializing State

When the component implementation enters the Initializing State, the SCA Runtime MUST call the method annotated with @Init on the component implementation, if present. [JCA40011]

The component implementation can invoke operations on any injected references when it is in the Initializing state. However, depending on the order in which the component implementations are initialized, the target of the injected reference might not be available since it has not yet been initialized. If a component implementation invokes an operation on an injected reference that refers to a target that has not yet been initialized, the SCA Runtime MUST throw a ServiceUnavailableException. [JCA40012]

The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Initializing state. [JCA40013]

Once the method annotated with @Init completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Running state. [JCA40014] If an exception is thrown whilst initializing, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state. [JCA40015]

4.2.4 Running State

The SCA Runtime MUST invoke Service methods on a component implementation instance when the component implementation is in the Running state and a client invokes operations on a service offered by the component. [JCA40016]

The component implementation can invoke operations on any injected references when the component implementation instance is in the Running state.

When the component implementation scope ends, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state. [JCA40017]

4.2.5 Destroying State

When a component implementation enters the Destroying state, the SCA Runtime MUST call the method annotated with @Destroy on the component implementation, if present. [JCA40018]

The component implementation can invoke operations on any injected references when it is in the Destroying state. However, depending on the order in which the component implementations are destroyed, the target of the injected reference might no longer be available since it has been destroyed. If a component implementation invokes an operation on an injected reference that refers to a target that has been destroyed, the SCA Runtime MUST throw an InvalidServiceException. [JCA40019]

The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Destroying state. [JCA40020]

Once the method annotated with @Destroy completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state. [JCA40021] If an exception is thrown whilst destroying, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state. [JCA40022]

4.2.6 Terminated State

The lifecycle of the SCA Component has ended.

The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Terminated state. [JCA40023]

5 Client API

This section describes how SCA services can be programmatically accessed from components and also from non-managed code, that is, code not running as an SCA component.

5.1 Accessing Services from an SCA Component

An SCA component can obtain a service reference either through injection or programmatically through the ComponentContext API. Using reference injection is the recommended way to access a service, since it results in code with minimal use of middleware APIs. The ComponentContext API is provided for use in cases where reference injection is not possible.

5.1.1 Using the Component Context API

When a component implementation needs access to a service where the reference to the service is not known at compile time, the reference can be located using the component’s ComponentContext.

5.2 Accessing Services from non-SCA Component Implementations

This section describes how Java code not running as an SCA component that is part of an SCA composite accesses SCA services via references.

5.2.1 SCAClientFactory Interface and Related Classes

Client code can use the SCAClientFactory class to obtain proxy reference objects for a service which is in an SCA Domain. The URI of the domain, the relative URI of the service and the business interface of the service must all be known in order to use the SCAClientFactory class.

Objects which implement the SCAClientFactory are obtained using the newInstance() methods of the SCAClientFactory class.

Snippet 5‑1 is a sample of the code that a client would use:

package org.oasisopen.sca.client.example;

import java.net.URI;

import org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory;

import org.oasisopen.sca.client.example.HelloService;

/**

* Example of use of Client API for a client application to obtain

* an SCA reference proxy for a service in an SCA Domain.

public class Client1 {

public void someMethod() {

try {

String serviceURI = "SomeHelloServiceURI";

URI domainURI = new URI("SomeDomainURI");

SCAClientFactory scaClient =

SCAClientFactory.newInstance( domainURI );

HelloService helloService =

scaClient.getService(HelloService.class,

serviceURI);

String reply = helloService.sayHello("Mark");

} catch (Exception e) {

System.out.println("Received exception");

}

Snippet 5‑1: Using the SCAClientFactory Interface

For details about the SCAClientFactory interface and its related classes see the section "SCAClientFactory Class".

6 Error Handling

Clients calling service methods can experience business exceptions and SCA runtime exceptions.

Business exceptions are thrown by the implementation of the called service method, and are defined as checked exceptions on the interface that types the service.

SCA runtime exceptions are raised by the SCA runtime and signal problems in management of component execution or problems interacting with remote services. The SCA runtime exceptions are defined in the Java API section.

7 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 method calls

· callbacks

Each of these topics is discussed in the following sections.

7.1 @OneWay

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.

A method with a void return type and which has no declared exceptions can be marked with a @OneWay annotation. This means that the method is non-blocking and communication with the service provider can use a binding that buffers the request and sends it at some later time.

For a Java client to make a non-blocking call to methods that either return values or throw exceptions, a Java client can use the JAX-WS asynchronous client API model that is described in the section "JAX-WS Client Asynchronous API for a Synchronous Service". It is considered to be a best practice that service designers define one-way methods as often as possible, in order to give the greatest degree of binding flexibility to deployers.

7.2 Callbacks

A callback service is a service that is used for asynchronous communication from a service provider back to its client, in contrast to the communication through return values from synchronous operations. Callbacks are used by bidirectional services, which are services that have two interfaces:

· an interface for the provided service

· a callback interface that is provided by the client

Callbacks can be used for both remotable and local services. Either both interfaces of a bidirectional service are remotable, or both are local. It is illegal to mix the two, as defined in the SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY].

A callback interface is declared by using a @Callback annotation on a service interface, with the Java Class object of the interface as a parameter. The annotation can also be applied to a method or to a field of an implementation, which is used in order to have a callback injected, as explained in the next section.

7.2.1 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.

Snippet 7‑1 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.

package somepackage;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Callback;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Remotable;

@Remotable

@Callback(QuotationCallback.class)

public interface Quotation {h

double requestQuotation(String productCode, int quantity);

}

@Remotable

public interface QuotationCallback {

String getState();

String getZipCode();

String getCreditRating();

}

Snippet 7‑1: Using a Bidirectional Interface

In Snippet 7‑1, 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.

Snippet 7‑2 illustrates a possible implementation of the example service, using the @Callback annotation to request that a callback proxy be injected.

@Callback

protected QuotationCallback callback;

public double requestQuotation(String productCode, int quantity) {

double price = getPrice(productQuote, quantity);

double discount = 0;

if (quantity > 1000 && callback.getState().equals("FL")) {

discount = 0.05;

}

if (quantity > 10000 && callback.getCreditRating().charAt(0) == 'A') {

discount += 0.05;

}

return price * (1-discount);

}

Snippet 7‑2: Example Implementation of a Service with a Bidirectional Interface

Snippet 7‑3 is taken from the client of this example service. The client’s service implementation class implements the methods of the QuotationCallback interface as well as those of its own service interface ClientService.

public class ClientImpl implements ClientService, QuotationCallback {

private QuotationService myService;

@Reference

public void setMyService(QuotationService service) {

myService = service;

}

public void aClientMethod() {

...

double quote = myService.requestQuotation("AB123", 2000);

...

}

public String getState() {

return "TX";

}

public String getZipCode() {

return "78746";

}

public String getCreditRating() {

return "AA";

}

Snippet 7‑3: Example Client Using a Biderictional Interface

Snippet 7‑3 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.

7.2.2 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 described in the section "Using 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.

7.2.3 Callback Injection

When a bidirectional service is invoked, the SCA runtime MUST inject a callback reference for the invoking service into all fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation and typed by the callback interface of the bidirectional service, and the SCA runtime MUST inject null into all other fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation. [JCA60001] When a non-bidirectional service is invoked, the SCA runtime MUST inject null into all fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation. [JCA60002]

7.2.4 Implementing Multiple Bidirectional Interfaces

Since it is possible for a single implementation class to implement multiple services, it is also possible for callbacks to be defined for each of the services that it implements. The service implementation can include an injected field for each of its callbacks. The runtime injects the callback onto the appropriate field based on the type of the callback. Snippet 7‑4 shows the declaration of two fields, each of which corresponds to a particular service offered by the implementation.

@Callback

protected MyService1Callback callback1;

@Callback

protected MyService2Callback callback2;

Snippet 7‑4: Multiple Bidirectional Interfaces in an Implementation

If a single callback has a type that is compatible with multiple declared callback fields, then all of them will be set.

7.2.5 Accessing Callbacks

In addition to injecting a reference to a callback service, it is also possible to obtain a reference to a Callback instance by annotating a field or method of type ServiceReference with the @Callback annotation.

A reference implementing the callback service interface can be obtained using ServiceReference.getService().

Snippet 7‑5 comes from a service implementation that uses the callback API:

@Callback

protected ServiceReference<MyCallback> callback;

public void someMethod() {

MyCallback myCallback = callback.getService(); …

myCallback.receiveResult(theResult);

}

Snippet 7‑5: Using the Callback API

Because ServiceReference objects are serializable, they can be stored persistently and retrieved at a later time to make a callback invocation after the associated service request has completed. ServiceReference objects can also be passed as parameters on service invocations, enabling the responsibility for making the callback to be delegated to another service.

Alternatively, a callback can be retrieved programmatically using the RequestContext API. Snippet 7‑6 shows how to retrieve a callback in a method programmatically:

@Context

ComponentContext context;

public void someMethod() {

MyCallback myCallback = context.getRequestContext().getCallback();

…

myCallback.receiveResult(theResult);

}

Snippet 7‑6: Using RequestContext to get a Callback

This is necessary if the service implementation has COMPOSITE scope, because callback injection is not performed for composite-scoped implementations.

7.3 Asynchronous handling of Long Running Service Operations

Long-running request-response operations are described in the SCA Assembly Specification [ASSEMBLY]. These operations are characterized by following the WSDL request-response message exchange pattern, but where the timing of the sending of the response message is arbitrarily later than the receipt of the request message, with an impact on the client component, on the service component and also on the transport binding used to communicate between them.

In SCA, such operations are marked with an intent "asyncInvocation" and is expected that the client component, the service component and the binding are all affected by the presence of this intent. This specification does not describe the effects of the intent on the binding, other than to note that in general, there is an implication that the sending of the response message is typically separate from the sending of the request message, typically requiring a separate response endpoint on the client to which the response can be sent.

For components that are clients of a long-running request-response operation, it is strongly recommended that the client makes use of the JAX-WS Client Asynchronous API, either using the polling interface or the callback mechanism described in the section "JAX-WS Client Asynchronous API for a Synchronous Service". The principle is that the client should not synchronously wait for a response from the long running operation since this could take a long time and it is preferable not to tie up resources while waiting.

For the service implementation component, the JAX-WS client asynchronous API is not suitable, so the SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs specification defines the SCA Asynchronous Service interface, which, like the JAX-WS client asynchronous API, is an alternative mapping of a WSDL request-response operation into a Java interface.

7.4 SCA Asynchronous Service Interface

The SCA Asynchronous Service interface follows some of the patterns defined by the JAX-WS client asynchronous API, but it is a simpler interface aligned with the needs of a service implementation class.

As an example, for a WSDL portType with a single operation "getPrice" with a String request parameter and a float response, the synchronous Java interface mapping appears in Snippet 7‑7.

// synchronous mapping

public interface StockQuote {

float getPrice(String ticker);

}

Snippet 7‑7: Example Synchronous Java Interface Mapping

The JAX-WS client asynchronous API for the same portType adds two asynchronous forms for each synchronous method, as shown in Snippet 7‑8.

// asynchronous mapping

public interface StockQuote {

float getPrice(String ticker);

Response<Float> getPriceAsync(String ticker);

Future<?> getPriceAsync(String ticker, AsyncHandler<Float> handler);

}

Snippet 7‑8: Example JAX-WS Client Asynchronous Java interface Mapping

The SCA Asynchronous Service interface has a single method similar to the final one in the asynchronous client interface, as shown in Snippet 7‑8.

// asynchronous mapping

@Requires("sca:asyncInvocation")

public interface StockQuote {

void getPriceAsync(String ticker, ResponseDispatch<Float> dispatch);

}

Snippet 7‑9: Example SCA Asynchronous Service Java interface Mapping

The main characteristics of the SCA asynchronous mapping are:

· there is a single method, with a name with the string "Async" appended to the operation name

· it has a void return type

· it has two input parameters, the first is the request message of the operation and the second is a ResponseDispatch object typed by the response message of the operation (following the rules expressed in the JAX-WS specification for the typing of the AsyncHandler object in the client asynchronous API)

· it is annotated with the asyncInvocation intent

· if the synchronous method has any business faults/exceptions, it is annotated with @AsyncFault, containing a list of the exception classes

Unlike the JAX-WS asynchronous client interface, there is only a single operation for the service implementation to provide (it would be inconvenient for the service implementation to be required to implement multiple methods for each operation in the WSDL interface).

The ResponseDispatch parameter is the mechanism by which the service implementation sends back the response message resulting from the invocation of the service method. The ResponseDispatch is serializable and it can be invoked once at any time after the invocation of the service method, either before or after the service method returns. This enables the service implementation to store the ResponseDispatch in serialized form and release resources while waiting for the completion of whatever activities result from the processing of the initial invocation.

The ResponseDispatch object is allocated by the SCA runtime/binding implementation and it is expected to contain whatever metadata is required to deliver the response message back to the client that invoked the service operation.

The SCA asynchronous service Java interface mapping of a WSDL request-response operation MUST appear as follows:

The interface is annotated with the "asyncInvocation" intent.

– For each service operation in the WSDL, the Java interface contains an operation with

– a name which is the JAX-WS mapping of the WSDL operation name, with the suffix "Async" added

– a void return type

– a set of input parameter(s) which match the JAX-WS mapping of the input parameter(s) of the WSDL operation plus an additional last parameter which is a ResponseDispatch object typed by the JAX-WS Response Bean mapping of the output parameter(s) of the WSDL operation, where ResponseDispatch is the type defined in the SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs specification. [JCA60003]

An SCA Runtime MUST support the use of the SCA asynchronous service interface for the interface of an SCA service. [JCA60004]

The ResponseDispatch object passed in as a parameter to a method of a service implementation using the SCA asynchronous service Java interface can be invoked once only through either its sendResponse method or through its sendFault method to return the response resulting from the service method invocation. If the SCA asynchronous service interface ResponseDispatch handleResponse method is invoked more than once through either its sendResponse or its sendFault method, the SCA runtime MUST throw an IllegalStateException. [JCA60005]

For the purposes of matching interfaces (when wiring between a reference and a service, or when using an implementation class by a component), an interface which has one or more methods which follow the SCA asynchronous service pattern MUST be treated as if those methods are mapped as the equivalent synchronous methods, as follows:

Asynchronous service methods are characterized by:

– void return type

– a method name with the suffix "Async"

– a last input parameter with a type of ResponseDispatch<X>

– annotation with the asyncInvocation intent

– possible annotation with the @AsyncFault annotation

The mapping of each such method is as if the method had the return type "X", the method name without the suffix "Async" and all the input parameters except the last parameter of the type ResponseDispatch<X>, plus the list of exceptions contained in the @AsyncFault annotation. [JCA60006]

8 Policy Annotations for Java

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 the SCA Policy Framework specification [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.

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

This specification supports using the Common Annotations for the Java Platform specification (JSR-250) [JSR-250]. An implication of adopting the common annotation for Java platform specification is that the SCA Java specification supports consistent annotation and Java class inheritance relationships. SCA policy annotation semantics follow the General Guidelines for Inheritance of Annotations in the Common Annotations for the Java Platform specification [JSR-250], except that member-level annotations in a class or interface do not have any effect on how class-level annotations are applied to other members of the class or interface.

8.1 General Intent Annotations

SCA provides the annotation @Requires for the attachment of any intent to a Java class, to a Java interface or to elements within classes and interfaces such as methods and fields.

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 follows the string representation used by the javax.xml.namespace.QName class, which is shown in Snippet 8‑1.

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

Snippet 8‑1: Intent Format

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 String constants will be defined for the namespace part of this string, as well as for each intent that is used by Java code. SCA defines constants for intents such as those in Snippet 8‑2.

public static final String SCA_PREFIX =

"{http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912}";

public static final String CONFIDENTIALITY =

SCA_PREFIX + "confidentiality";

public static final String CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE =

CONFIDENTIALITY + ".message";

Snippet 8‑2: Example Intent Constants

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.

An example of the @Requires annotation with 2 qualified intents (from the Security domain) is shown in Snippet 8‑3:

@Requires({CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE, INTEGRITY_MESSAGE})

Snippet 8‑3: Multiple Intnets in One Annotation

The annotation in Snippet 8‑3 attaches the intents "confidentiality.message" and "integrity.message".

Snippet 8‑4 is an example of a reference requiring support for confidentiality:

package com.foo;

import static org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Confidentiality.*;

import static org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Reference;
import static org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Requires;

public class Foo {

@Requires(CONFIDENTIALITY)

@Reference

public void setBar(Bar bar) {

…

}

Snippet 8‑4: Annotation a Reference

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, the definition of Snippet 8‑4 would instead look like Snippet 8‑5.

package com.foo;

import static org.oasisopen.sca.Constants.*;

import static org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Reference;

import static org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Requires;

public class Foo {

@Requires(SCA_PREFIX+"confidentiality")

@Reference

public void setBar(Bar bar) {

…

}

Snippet 8‑5: Using Intent Constants and strings

The formal syntax [EBNF-Syntax] for the @Requires annotation follows:

'@Requires("' QualifiedIntent '"' (',"' QualifiedIntent '"')* ')'

where

QualifiedIntent ::= QName('.' Qualifier)*
Qualifier ::= NCName

See section @Requires for the formal definition of the @Requires annotation.

8.2 Specific Intent Annotations

In addition to the general intent annotation supplied by the @Requires annotation described in section ‎8.2, it is also possible to have Java annotations that correspond to specific policy intents. SCA provides a number of these specific intent annotations and it is also possible to create new specific intent annotations for any intent.

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 the section on General Intent Annotations using the @Requires(CONFIDENTIALITY) annotation can also be specified with the @Confidentiality specific intent annotation. The specific intent annotation for the "integrity" security intent is shown in Snippet 8‑6.

@Integrity

Snippet 8‑6: Example Specific Intent Annotation

An example of a qualified specific intent for the "authentication" intent is shown in Snippet 8‑7.

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

Snippet 8‑7: Example Qualified Specific Intent Annotation

This annotation attaches the pair of qualified intents: "authentication.message" and "authentication.transport" (the sca: namespace is assumed in this both of these cases – "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912").

The general form of specific intent annotations is shown in Snippet 8‑8

'@' Intent ('(' qualifiers ')')?

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

Intent ::= NCName

qualifiers ::= '"' qualifier '"' (',"' qualifier '"')*

qualifier ::= NCName ('.' qualifier)?

Snippet 8‑8: Specific Intent Annotation Format

8.2.1 How to Create Specific Intent Annotations

SCA identifies annotations that correspond to intents by providing an @Intent annotation which MUST be used in the definition of a specific intent annotation. [JCA70001]

The @Intent annotation takes a single parameter, which (like the @Requires annotation) is the String form of the QName of the intent. As part of the intent definition, it is good practice (although not required) to also create String constants for the Namespace, for the Intent and for Qualified versions of the Intent (if defined). These String constants are then available for use with the @Requires annotation and it is also possible to use one or more of them as parameters to the specific intent annotation.

Alternatively, the QName of the intent can be specified using separate parameters for the targetNamespace and the localPart, as shown in Snippet 8‑9:

@Intent(targetNamespace=SCA_NS, localPart="confidentiality")

Snippet 8‑9: Defining a Specific Intent Annotation

See section @Intent for the formal definition of the @Intent annotation.

When an intent can be qualified, it is good practice for the first attribute of the annotation to be a string (or an array of strings) which holds one or more qualifiers.

In this case, the attribute’s definition needs to be marked with the @Qualifier annotation. The @Qualifier tells SCA that the value of the attribute is treated as a qualifier for the intent represented by the whole annotation. If more than one qualifier value is specified in an annotation, it means that multiple qualified forms exist. For example the annotation in Snippet 8‑10

@Confidentiality({"message","transport"})

Snippet 8‑10: Multiple Qualifiers in an Annotation'

implies that both of the qualified intents "confidentiality.message" and "confidentiality.transport" are set for the element to which the @Confidentiality annotation is attached.

See section @Qualifier for the formal definition of the @Qualifier annotation.

Examples of the use of the @Intent and the @Qualifier annotations in the definition of specific intent annotations are shown in the section dealing with Security Interaction Policy.

8.3 Application of Intent Annotations

The SCA Intent annotations can be applied to the following Java elements:

· Java class

· Java interface

· Method

· Field

· Constructor parameter

Intent annotations MUST NOT be applied to the following:

· A method of a service implementation class, except for a setter method that is either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification

· A service implementation class field that is not either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification

· A service implementation class constructor parameter that is not annotated with @Reference

[JCA70002]

Intent annotations can be applied to classes, interfaces, and interface methods. Applying an intent annotation to a field, setter method, or constructor parameter allows intents to be defined at references. Intent annotations can also be applied to reference interfaces and their methods.

Where multiple intent annotations (general or specific) are applied to the same Java element, the SCA runtime MUST compute the combined intents for the Java element by merging the intents from all intent annotations on the Java element according to the SCA Policy Framework [POLICY] rules for merging intents at the same hierarchy level. [JCA70003]

An example of multiple policy annotations being used together is shown in Snippet 8‑11:

@Authentication
@Requires({CONFIDENTIALITY_MESSAGE, INTEGRITY_MESSAGE})

Snippet 8‑11: Multiple Policy Annotations

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

If intent annotations are specified on both an interface method and the method's declaring interface, the SCA runtime MUST compute the effective intents for the method by merging the combined intents from the method with the combined intents for the interface according to the SCA Policy Framework [POLICY] rules for merging intents within a structural hierarchy, with the method at the lower level and the interface at the higher level. [JCA70004] This merging process does not remove or change any intents that are applied to the interface.

8.3.1 Intent Annotation Examples

The following examples show how the rules defined in section 8.3 are applied.

Snippet 8‑12 shows how intents on references are merged. In this example, the intents for myRef are "authentication" and "confidentiality.message".

@Authentication

@Requires(CONFIDENTIALITY)

@Confidentiality("message")

@Reference

protected MyService myRef;

Snippet 8‑12: Merging Intents on References

Snippet 8‑13 shows that mutually exclusive intents cannot be applied to the same Java element. In this example, the Java code is in error because of contradictory mutually exclusive intents "managedTransaction" and "noManagedTransaction".

@Requires({SCA_PREFIX+"managedTransaction",

SCA_PREFIX+"noManagedTransaction"})

@Reference

protected MyService myRef;

Snippet 8‑13: Mutually Exclusive Intents

Snippet 8‑14 shows that intents can be applied to Java service interfaces and their methods. In this example, the effective intents for MyService.mymethod() are "authentication" and "confidentiality".

@Authentication

public interface MyService {

@Confidentiality

public void mymethod();

}

@Service(MyService.class)

public class MyServiceImpl {

public void mymethod() {...}

}

Snippet 8‑14: Intents on Java Interfaces, Interface Methods, and Java Classes

Snippet 8‑15 shows that intents can be applied to Java service implementation classes. In this example, the effective intents for MyService.mymethod() are "authentication", "confidentiality", and "managedTransaction".

@Authentication

public interface MyService {

@Confidentiality

public void mymethod();

}

@Service(MyService.class)

@Requires(SCA_PREFIX+"managedTransaction")

public class MyServiceImpl {

public void mymethod() {...}

}

Snippet 8‑15: Intents on Java Service Implementation Classes

Snippet 8‑16 shows that intents can be applied to Java reference interfaces and their methods, and also to Java references. In this example, the effective intents for the method mymethod() of the reference myRef are "authentication", "integrity", and "confidentiality".

@Authentication

public interface MyRefInt {

@Integrity

public void mymethod();

}

@Service(MyService.class)

public class MyServiceImpl {

@Confidentiality

@Reference

protected MyRefInt myRef;

}

Snippet 8‑16: Intents on Java References and their Interfaces and Methods

Snippet 8‑17 shows that intents cannot be applied to methods of Java implementation classes. In this example, the Java code is in error because of the @Authentication intent annotation on the implementation method MyServiceImpl.mymethod().

public interface MyService {

public void mymethod();

}

@Service(MyService.class)

public class MyServiceImpl {

@Authentication

public void mymethod() {...}

}

Snippet 8‑17: Intent on Implementation Method

Snippet 8‑18 shows one effect of applying the SCA Policy Framework rules for merging intents within a structural hierarchy to Java service interfaces and their methods. In this example a qualified intent overrides an unqualified intent, so the effective intent for MyService.mymethod() is "confidentiality.message".

@Confidentiality("message")

public interface MyService {

@Confidentiality

public void mymethod();

}

Snippet 8‑18: Merging Qualified and Unqualified Intents on Java Interfaces and Methods

Snippet 8‑19 shows another effect of applying the SCA Policy Framework rules for merging intents within a structural hierarchy to Java service interfaces and their methods. In this example a lower-level intent causes a mutually exclusive higher-level intent to be ignored, so the effective intent for mymethod1() is "managedTransaction" and the effective intent for mymethod2() is "noManagedTransaction".

@Requires(SCA_PREFIX+"managedTransaction")

public interface MyService {

public void mymethod1();

@Requires(SCA_PREFIX+"noManagedTransaction")

public void mymethod2();

}

Snippet 8‑19: Merging Mutually Exclusive Intents on Java Interfaces and Methods

8.3.2 Inheritance and Annotation

Snippet 8‑20 shows the inheritance relations of intents on classes, operations, and super classes.

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Authentication;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Integrity;

@Integrity("transport")

@Authentication

public class HelloService {

@Integrity

@Authentication("message")

public String hello(String message) {...}

@Integrity

@Authentication("transport")

public String helloThere() {...}

}

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Authentication;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Confidentiality;

@Confidentiality("message")

public class HelloChildService extends HelloService {

@Confidentiality("transport")

public String hello(String message) {...}

@Authentication

String helloWorld() {...}

}

Snippet 8‑20: Usage example of Annotated Policy and Inheritance

The effective intent annotation on the helloWorld method of HelloChildService is @Authentication and @Confidentiality("message").

The effective intent annotation on the hello method of HelloChildService is @Confidentiality("transport"),

The effective intent annotation on the helloThere method of HelloChildService is @Integrity and @Authentication("transport"), the same as for this method in the HelloService class.

The effective intent annotation on the hello method of HelloService is @Integrity and @Authentication("message")

Table 8‑1 shows the equivalent declarative security interaction policy of the methods of the HelloService and HelloChildService implementations corresponding to the Java classes shown in Snippet 8‑20.

	Method
Class	hello()	helloThere()	helloWorld()
HelloService	integrity authentication.message	integrity authentication.transport	N/A
HelloChildService	confidentiality.transport	integrity authentication.transport	authentication confidentiality.message

Table 8‑1: Declarative Intents Equivalent to Annotated Intents in Snippet 8‑20

8.4 Relationship of Declarative and Annotated Intents

Annotated intents on a Java class cannot be overridden by declarative intents in a composite document which uses the class as an implementation. This rule follows the general rule for intents that they represent requirements of an implementation in the form of a restriction that cannot be relaxed.

However, a restriction can be made more restrictive so that an unqualified version of an intent expressed through an annotation in the Java class can be qualified by a declarative intent in a using composite document.

8.5 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 Java 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:

'@PolicySets({' policySetQName (',' policySetQName )* '})'

Snippet 8‑21: PolicySet Annotation Format

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

An example of the @PolicySets annotation is shown in Snippet 8‑22:

@Reference(name="helloService", required=true)

@PolicySets({ MY_NS + "WS_Encryption_Policy",
MY_NS + "WS_Authentication_Policy" })

public setHelloService(HelloService service) {

. . .

}

Snippet 8‑22: Use of @PolicySets

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

The SCA Policy Set annotation can be applied to the following Java elements:

· Java class

· Java interface

· Method

· Field

· Constructor parameter

The @PolicySets annotation MUST NOT be applied to the following:

· A service implementation class constructor parameter that is not annotated with @Reference

[JCA70005]

The @PolicySets annotation can be applied to classes, interfaces, and interface methods. Applying a @PolicySets annotation to a field, setter method, or constructor parameter allows policy sets to be defined at references. The @PolicySets annotation can also be applied to reference interfaces and their methods.

If the @PolicySets annotation is specified on both an interface method and the method's declaring interface, the SCA runtime MUST compute the effective policy sets for the method by merging the policy sets from the method with the policy sets from the interface. [JCA70006] This merging process does not remove or change any policy sets that are applied to the interface.

8.6 Security Policy Annotations

This section introduces annotations for commonly used SCA security intents, as defined in the SCA Policy Framework Specification [POLICY]. Also see the SCA Policy Framework Specification for additional security policy intents that can be used with the @Requires annotation. The following annotations for security policy intents and qualifiers are defined:

· @Authentication

· @Authorization

· @Confidentiality

· @Integrity

· @MutualAuthentication

The @Authentication, @Confidentiality, and @Integrity intents have the same pair of Qualifiers:

· message

· transport

The formal definitions of the security intent annotations are found in the section “Java Annotations”.

Snippet 8‑23 shows an example of applying security intents to the setter method used to inject a reference. Accessing the hello operation of the referenced HelloService requires both "integrity.message" and "authentication.message" intents to be honored.

package services.hello;

// Interface for HelloService

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String helloMsg);

}

package services.client;

// Interface for ClientService

public interface ClientService {

public void clientMethod();

}

// Implementation class for ClientService

package services.client;

import services.hello.HelloService;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.*;

@Service(ClientService.class)

public class ClientServiceImpl implements ClientService {

private HelloService helloService;

@Reference(name="helloService", required=true)

@Integrity("message")

@Authentication("message")

public void setHelloService(HelloService service) {

helloService = service;

}

public void clientMethod() {

String result = helloService.hello("Hello World!");

…

}

8.7 Transaction Policy Annotations

This section introduces annotations for commonly used SCA transaction intents, as defined in the SCA Policy Framework specification [POLICY]. Also see the SCA Policy Framework Specification for additional transaction policy intents that can be used with the @Requires annotation. The following annotations for transaction policy intents and qualifiers are defined:

· @ManagedTransaction

· @NoManagedTransaction

· @SharedManagedTransaction

The @ManagedTransaction intent has the following Qualifiers:

· global

· local

The formal definitions of the transaction intent annotations are found in the section “Java Annotations”.

Snippet 8‑24 shows an example of applying a transaction intent to a component implementation, where the component implementation requires a global transaction.

package services.hello;

// Interface for HelloService

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String helloMsg);

}

// Implementation class for HelloService

package services.hello.impl;

import services.hello.HelloService;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.*;

@Service(HelloService.class)

@ManagedTransaction("global")

public class HelloServiceImpl implements HelloService {

public void someMethod() {

…

}

A component can access its component context by defining a field or setter method typed by org.oasisopen.sca.ComponentContext and annotated with @Context. To access a target service, the component uses ComponentContext.getService(..).

Snippet 9‑1 shows an example of component context usage in a Java class using the @Context annotation.

private ComponentContext componentContext;

@Context

public void setContext(ComponentContext context) {

componentContext = context;

}

public void doSomething() {

HelloWorld service =

componentContext.getService(HelloWorld.class,"HelloWorldComponent");

service.hello("hello");

}

Snippet 9‑1: ComponentContext Injection Example

Similarly, non-SCA client code can use the ComponentContext API to perform operations against a component in an SCA domain. How the non-SCA client code obtains a reference to a ComponentContext is runtime specific.

void sendResponse(T res);

void sendFault(Throwable e);

Map<String, Object> getContext();

}

Figure 9‑4: ResponseDispatch Interface

9.5 ServiceRuntimeException

Figure 9‑5 shows the ServiceRuntimeException.

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public class ServiceRuntimeException extends RuntimeException {

…

}

Figure 9‑5: ServiceRuntimeException

This exception signals problems in the management of SCA component execution.

9.6 ServiceUnavailableException

Figure 9‑6 shows the ServiceUnavailableException.

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public class ServiceUnavailableException extends ServiceRuntimeException {

…
}

Figure 9‑6: ServiceUnavailableException

This exception signals problems in the interaction with remote services. These are exceptions that can be transient, so retrying is appropriate. Any exception that is a ServiceRuntimeException that is not a ServiceUnavailableException is unlikely to be resolved by retrying the operation, since it most likely requires human intervention

9.7 InvalidServiceException

Figure 9‑7 shows the InvalidServiceException.

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public class InvalidServiceException extends ServiceRuntimeException {

…
}

Figure 9‑7: InvalidServiceException

This exception signals that the ServiceReference is no longer valid. This can happen when the target of the reference is undeployed. This exception is not transient and therefore is unlikely to be resolved by retrying the operation and will most likely require human intervention.

9.8 Constants

The SCA Constants interface defines a number of constant values that are used in the SCA Java APIs and Annotations. Figure 9‑8 shows the Constants interface:

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public interface Constants {

String SCA_NS = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912";

String SCA_PREFIX = "{"+SCA_NS+"}";

String SERVERAUTHENTICATION = SCA_PREFIX + "serverAuthentication";

String CLIENTAUTHENTICATION = SCA_PREFIX + "clientAuthentication";

String ATLEASTONCE = SCA_PREFIX + "atLeastOnce";

String ATMOSTONCE = SCA_PREFIX + "atMostOnce";

String EXACTLYONCE = SCA_PREFIX + "exactlyOnce";

String ORDERED = SCA_PREFIX + "ordered";

String TRANSACTEDONEWAY = SCA_PREFIX + "transactedOneWay";

String IMMEDIATEONEWAY = SCA_PREFIX + "immediateOneWay";

String PROPAGATESTRANSACTION = SCA_PREFIX + "propagatesTransaction";

String SUSPENDSTRANSACTION = SCA_PREFIX + "suspendsTransaction";

String ASYNCINVOCATION = SCA_PREFIX + "asyncInvocation";

String SOAP = SCA_PREFIX + "SOAP";

String JMS = SCA_PREFIX + "JMS";

String NOLISTENER = SCA_PREFIX + "noListener";

String EJB = SCA_PREFIX + "EJB";

}

Figure 9‑8: Constants Interface

9.9 SCAClientFactory Class

The SCAClientFactory class provides the means for client code to obtain a proxy reference object for a service within an SCA Domain, through which the client code can invoke operations of that service. This is particularly useful for client code that is running outside the SCA Domain containing the target service, for example where the code is "unmanaged" and is not running under an SCA runtime.

The SCAClientFactory is an abstract class which provides a set of static newInstance(...) methods which the client can invoke in order to obtain a concrete object implementing the SCAClientFactory interface for a particular SCA Domain. The returned SCAClientFactory object provides a getService() method which provides the client with the means to obtain a reference proxy object for a service running in the SCA Domain.

The SCAClientFactory class is shown in Figure 9‑9:

package org.oasisopen.sca.client;

import java.net.URI;

import java.util.Properties;

import org.oasisopen.sca.NoSuchDomainException;

}

public static SCAClientFactory newInstance(Properties properties,

throws NoSuchDomainException {

return newInstance(properties, null, domainURI);

}

public static SCAClientFactory newInstance(ClassLoader classLoader,

URI domainURI)

throws NoSuchDomainException {

return newInstance(null, classLoader, domainURI);

}

public static SCAClientFactory newInstance(Properties properties,

ClassLoader classLoader,

URI domainURI)

throws NoSuchDomainException {

final SCAClientFactoryFinder finder =

factoryFinder != null ? factoryFinder :

new SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl();

final SCAClientFactory factory

= finder.find(properties, classLoader, domainURI);

return factory;

}

9.10 SCAClientFactoryFinder Interface

The SCAClientFactoryFinder interface is a Service Provider Interface representing a SCAClientFactory finder. SCA provides a default reference implementation of this interface. SCA runtime vendors can create alternative implementations of this interface that use different class loading or lookup mechanisms:

package org.oasisopen.sca.client;

public interface SCAClientFactoryFinder {

SCAClientFactory find(Properties properties,

ClassLoader classLoader,

URI domainURI )

throws NoSuchDomainException ;

}

Figure 9‑10: SCAClientFactoryFinder Interface

find (Properties properties, ClassLoader classloader, URI domainURI) method:

Obtains an implementation of the SCAClientFactory interface.

Returns:

· SCAClientFactory implementation object

The implementation of the SCAClientFactoryFinder.find method MUST return an object which is an implementation of the SCAClientFactory interface, for the SCA Domain represented by the doaminURI parameter, using the supplied properties and classloader. [JCA80055]

Parameters:

· properties - a set of Properties that can be used when creating the object which implements the SCAClientFactory interface.

· classLoader - a ClassLoader to use when creating the object which implements the SCAClientFactory interface.

· domainURI - a URI for the SCA Domain targeted by the SCAClientFactory

Exceptions:

· The implementation of the SCAClientFactoryFinder.find method MUST throw a ServiceRuntimeException if the SCAClientFactory implementation could not be found. [JCA80056]

9.11 SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl Class

This class is a default implementation of an SCAClientFactoryFinder, which is used to find an implementation of an SCAClientFactory subclass, as used to obtain an SCAClient object for use by a client. SCA runtime providers can replace this implementation with their own version.

package org.oasisopen.sca.client.impl;

public class SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl implements SCAClientFactoryFinder {

...

public SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl() {...}

public SCAClientFactory find(Properties properties,

ClassLoader classLoader

URI domainURI)

throws NoSuchDomainException, ServiceRuntimeException {...}

...

}

Snippet 9‑2: SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl Class

SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl () method:

Public constructor for the SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl.

Returns:

· SCAClientFactoryFinderImpl which implements the SCAClientFactoryFinder interface

Parameters:

· none

Exceptions:

· none

find (Properties, ClassLoader, URI) method:

Obtains an implementation of the SCAClientFactory interface. It discovers a provider's SCAClientFactory implementation by referring to the following information in this order:

1. The org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory property from the Properties specified on the newInstance() method call if specified

2. The org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory property from the System Properties

3. The META-INF/services/org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory file

Returns:

· SCAClientFactory implementation object

Parameters:

· properties - a set of Properties that can be used when creating the object which implements the SCAClientFactory interface.

· classLoader - a ClassLoader to use when creating the object which implements the SCAClientFactory interface.

· domainURI - a URI for the SCA Domain targeted by the SCAClientFactory

Exceptions:

· ServiceRuntimeException - if the SCAClientFactory implementation could not be found

9.12 NoSuchDomainException

Figure 9‑11 shows the NoSuchDomainException:

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public class NoSuchDomainException extends Exception {

...

}

Figure 9‑11: NoSuchDomainException Class

This exception indicates that the Domain specified could not be found.

9.13 NoSuchServiceException

Figure 9‑12 shows the NoSuchServiceException:

package org.oasisopen.sca;

public class NoSuchServiceException extends Exception {
...

}

Figure 9‑12: NoSuchServiceException Class

This exception indicates that the service specified could not be found.

10 Java Annotations

This section provides definitions of all the Java annotations which apply to SCA.

This specification places constraints on some annotations that are not detectable by a Java compiler. For example, the definition of the @Property and @Reference annotations indicate that they are allowed on parameters, but the sections "@Property" and "@Reference" constrain those definitions to constructor parameters. An SCA runtime MUST verify the proper use of all SCA annotations and if an annotation is improperly used, the SCA runtime MUST NOT run the component which uses the invalid implementation code. [JCA90001]

SCA annotations MUST NOT be used on static methods or on static fields. It is an error to use an SCA annotation on a static method or a static field of an implementation class and the SCA runtime MUST NOT instantiate such an implementation class. [JCA90002]

10.1 @AllowsPassByReference

Figure 10‑1 defines the @AllowsPassByReference annotation:

package org.oasisopen.sca.annotation;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.FIELD;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.METHOD;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.PARAMETER;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE;

import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target({TYPE, METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER})

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface AllowsPassByReference {

boolean value() default true;

}

Figure 10‑1: AllowsPassByReference Annotation

The @AllowsPassByReference annotation allows service method implementations and client references to be marked as “allows pass by reference” to indicate that they use input parameters, return values and exceptions in a manner that allows the SCA runtime to avoid the cost of copying mutable objects when a remotable service is called locally within the same JVM.

The @AllowsPassByReference annotation has the attribute:

· value – specifies whether the “allows pass by reference” marker applies to the service implementation class, service implementation method, or client reference to which this annotation applies; if not specified, defaults to true.

The @AllowsPassByReference annotation MUST only annotate the following locations:

· a service implementation class

· an individual method of a remotable service implementation

· an individual reference which uses a remotable interface, where the reference is a field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter [JCA90052]

The “allows pass by reference” marking of a method implementation of a remotable service is determined as follows:

1. If the method has an @AllowsPassByReference annotation, the method is marked “allows pass by reference” if and only if the value of the method’s annotation is true.

2. Otheriwse, if the class has an @AllowsPassByReference annotation, the method is marked “allows pass by reference” if and only if the value of the class’s annotation is true.

3. Otherwise, the method is not marked “allows pass by reference”.

The “allows pass by reference” marking of a reference for a remotable service is determined as follows:

1. If the reference has an @AllowsPassByReference annotation, the reference is marked “allows pass by reference” if and only if the value of the reference’s annotation is true.

2. Otherwise, if the service implementation class containing the reference has an @AllowsPassByReference annotation, the reference is marked “allows pass by reference” if and only if the value of the class’s annotation is true.

3. Otherwise, the reference is not marked “allows pass by reference”.

Snippet 10‑1 shows a sample where @AllowsPassByReference is defined for the implementation of a service method on the Java component implementation class.

@AllowsPassByReference

public String hello(String message) {

…

}

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target({TYPE, METHOD, FIELD})

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Callback {

Class<?> value() default Void.class;

}

Figure 10‑6: Callback Annotation

The @Callback annotation is used to annotate a service interface or to annotate a Java class (used to define an interface) with a callback interface by specifying the Java class object of the callback interface as an attribute.

The @Callback annotation has the attribute:

· value – the name of a Java class file containing the callback interface

The @Callback annotation can also be used to annotate a method or a field of an SCA implementation class, in order to have a callback object injected. When used to annotate a method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the@Callback annotation MUST NOT specify any attributes. [JCA90046] When used to annotate a method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the type of the method or field MUST be the callback interface of at least one bidirectional service offered by the implementation class. [JCA90054] When used to annotate a setter method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the SCA runtime MUST inject a callback reference proxy into that method or field when the Java class is initialized, if the component is invoked via a service which has a callback interface and where the type of the setter method or field corresponds to the type of the callback interface. [JCA90058]

The @Callback annotation MUST NOT appear on a setter method or a field of a Java implementation class that has COMPOSITE scope. [JCA90057]

Snippet 10‑3 shows an example use of the @Callback annotation to declare a callback interface.

package somepackage;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Callback;
import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Remotable;

@Remotable

@Callback(MyServiceCallback.class)

public interface MyService {

void someMethod(String arg);

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.PARAMETER;

import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target({METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER})

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Property {

String name() default "";

boolean required() default true;

}

Figure 10‑22: Property Annotation

The @Property annotation is used to denote a Java class field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter that is used to inject an SCA property value. The type of the property injected, which can be a simple Java type or a complex Java type, is defined by the type of the Java class field or the type of the input parameter of the setter method or constructor.

When the Java type of a field, setter method or constructor parameter with the @Property annotation is a primitive type or a JAXB annotated class, the SCA runtime MUST convert a property value specified by an SCA component definition into an instance of the Java type as defined by the XML to Java mapping in the JAXB specification [JAXB] with XML schema validation enabled. [JCA90061]

When the Java type of a field, setter method or constructor parameter with the @Property annotation is not a JAXB annotated class, the SCA runtime can use any XML to Java mapping when converting property values into instances of the Java type.

The @Property annotation MUST NOT be used on a class field that is declared as final. [JCA90011]

Where there is both a setter method and a field for a property, the setter method is used.

The @Property annotation has the attributes:

· name (0..1) – the name of the property. For a field annotation, the default is the name of the field of the Java class. For a setter method annotation, the default is the JavaBeans property name [JAVABEANS] corresponding to the setter method name. For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, there is no default value for the name attribute and the name attribute MUST be present. [JCA90013]

· required (0..1) – a boolean value which specifies whether injection of the property value is required or not, where true means injection is required and false means injection is not required. Defaults to true. For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST NOT have the value false. [JCA90014]

Snippet 10‑13 shows a property field definition sample.

@Property(name="currency", required=true)

protected String currency;

The following snippet shows a property setter sample

@Property(name="currency", required=true)

public void setCurrency( String theCurrency ) {

....

}

Snippet 10‑13: Use of @Property on a Field

For a @Property annotation, if the type of the Java class field or the type of the input parameter of the setter method or constructor is defined as an array or as any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <property/> element with a @many attribute set to true, otherwise @many MUST be set to false. [JCA90047]

Snippet 10‑14 shows the definition of a configuration property using the @Property annotation for a collection.

...

private List<String> helloConfigurationProperty;

@Property(required=true)

public void setHelloConfigurationProperty(List<String> property) {

helloConfigurationProperty = property;

}

...

}

Figure 10‑23: Qualifier Annotation

The @Qualifier annotation is applied to an attribute of a specific intent annotation definition, defined using the @Intent annotation, to indicate that the attribute provides qualifiers for the intent. The @Qualifier annotation MUST be used in a specific intent annotation definition where the intent has qualifiers. [JCA90015]

See the section "How to Create Specific Intent Annotations" for details and samples of how to define new intent annotations.

10.24 @Reference

@Target({METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER})

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Reference {

String name() default "";

boolean required() default true;

}

Figure 10‑24: Reference Annotation

The @Reference annotation type is used to annotate a Java class field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter that is used to inject a service that resolves the reference. The interface of the service injected is defined by the type of the Java class field or the type of the input parameter of the setter method or constructor.

The @Reference annotation MUST NOT be used on a class field that is declared as final. [JCA90016]

Where there is both a setter method and a field for a reference, the setter method is used.

The @Reference annotation has the attributes:

· name : String (0..1) – the name of the reference. For a field annotation, the default is the name of the field of the Java class. For a setter method annotation, the default is the JavaBeans property name corresponding to the setter method name. For a @Reference annotation applied to a constructor parameter, there is no default for the name attribute and the name attribute MUST be present. [JCA90018]

· required (0..1) – a boolean value which specifies whether injection of the service reference is required or not, where true means injection is required and false means injection is not required. Defaults to true. For a @Reference annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST have the value true. [JCA90019]

Snippet 10‑15 shows a reference field definition sample.

@Reference(name="stockQuote", required=true)

protected StockQuoteService stockQuote;

}

Snippet 10‑16: Use of @Reference on a Setter

Snippet 10‑17 shows a sample of a service reference using the @Reference annotation. The name of the reference is “helloService” and its type is HelloService. The clientMethod() calls the “hello” operation of the service referenced by the helloService reference.

package services.hello;

private HelloService helloService;

@Reference(name="helloService", required=true)

public setHelloService(HelloService service) {

helloService = service;

}

public void clientMethod() {

String result = helloService.hello("Hello World!");

…

}

Snippet 10‑17: Use of @Reference and a ServiceReference

The presence of a @Reference annotation is reflected in the componentType information that the runtime generates through reflection on the implementation class. Snippet 10‑18 shows the component type for the component implementation fragment in Snippet 10‑17.

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

<interface.java interface="services.hello.HelloService"/>

</reference>

</componentType>

Snippet 10‑18: Implied componentType for Implementation in Snippet 10‑17

If the type of a reference is not an array or any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <reference/> element with @multiplicity= 0..1 if the @Reference annotation required attribute is false and with @multiplicity=1..1 if the @Reference annotation required attribute is true. [JCA90020]

If the type of a reference is defined as an array or as any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <reference/> element with @multiplicity=0..n if the @Reference annotation required attribute is false and with @multiplicity=1..n if the @Reference annotation required attribute is true. [JCA90021]

Snippet 10‑19 shows a sample of a service reference definition using the @Reference annotation on a java.util.List. The name of the reference is “helloServices” and its type is HelloService. The clientMethod() calls the “hello” operation of all the services referenced by the helloServices reference. In this case, at least one HelloService needs to be present, so required is true.

@Reference(name="helloServices", required=true)

protected List<HelloService> helloServices;

public void clientMethod() {

…

for (int index = 0; index < helloServices.size(); index++) {

HelloService helloService =

(HelloService)helloServices.get(index);

String result = helloService.hello("Hello World!");

}

…

}

Snippet 10‑20 shows the XML representation of the component type reflected from for the former component implementation fragment. There is no need to author this component type in this case since it can be reflected from the Java class.

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

<interface.java interface="services.hello.HelloService"/>

</reference>

</componentType>

Snippet 10‑20: Implied componentType for Implementation in Snippet 10‑19

An unwired reference with a multiplicity of 0..1 MUST be presented to the implementation code by the SCA runtime as null [JCA90022] An unwired reference with a multiplicity of 0..n MUST be presented to the implementation code by the SCA runtime as an empty array or empty collection [JCA90023]

10.24.1 Reinjection

References MAY be reinjected by an SCA runtime after the initial creation of a component if the reference target changes due to a change in wiring that has occurred since the component was initialized. [JCA90024]

In order for reinjection to occur, the following MUST be true:

1. The component MUST NOT be STATELESS scoped.

2. The reference MUST use either field-based injection or setter injection. References that are injected through constructor injection MUST NOT be changed.

[JCA90025]

Setter injection allows for code in the setter method to perform processing in reaction to a change.

If a reference target changes and the reference is not reinjected, the reference MUST continue to work as if the reference target was not changed. [JCA90026]

If an operation is called on a reference where the target of that reference has been undeployed, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw an InvalidServiceException. [JCA90027] If an operation is called on a reference where the target of the reference has become unavailable for some reason, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a ServiceUnavailableException. [JCA90028] If the target service of the reference is changed, the reference MUST either continue to work or throw an InvalidServiceException when it is invoked. [JCA90029] If it doesn't work, the exception thrown will depend on the runtime and the cause of the failure.

A ServiceReference that has been obtained from a reference by ComponentContext.cast() corresponds to the reference that is passed as a parameter to cast(). If the reference is subsequently reinjected, the ServiceReference obtained from the original reference MUST continue to work as if the reference target was not changed. [JCA90030] If the target of a ServiceReference has been undeployed, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a InvalidServiceException when an operation is invoked on the ServiceReference. [JCA90031] If the target of a ServiceReference has become unavailable, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a ServiceUnavailableException when an operation is invoked on the ServiceReference. [JCA90032] If the target service of a ServiceReference is changed, the reference MUST either continue to work or throw an InvalidServiceException when it is invoked. [JCA90033] If it doesn't work, the exception thrown will depend on the runtime and the cause of the failure.

A reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() MUST correspond to the current configuration of the domain. This applies whether or not reinjection has taken place. [JCA90034] If the target of a reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() has been undeployed or has become unavailable, the result SHOULD be a reference to the undeployed or unavailable service, and attempts to call business methods SHOULD throw an InvalidServiceException or a ServiceUnavailableException. [JCA90035] If the target service of a reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() has changed, the returned value SHOULD be a reference to the changed service. [JCA90036]

The rules for reference reinjection also apply to references with a multiplicity of 0..n or 1..n. This means that in the cases where reference reinjection is not allowed, the array or Collection for a reference of multiplicity 0..n or multiplicity 1..n MUST NOT change its contents when changes occur to the reference wiring or to the targets of the wiring. [JCA90037] In cases where the contents of a reference array or collection change when the wiring changes or the targets change, then for references that use setter injection, the setter method MUST be called by the SCA runtime for any change to the contents. [JCA90038] A reinjected array or Collection for a reference MUST NOT be the same array or Collection object previously injected to the component. [JCA90039]

10.25 @Remotable

Figure 10‑25 defines the @Remotable annotation:

package org.oasisopen.sca.annotation;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE;

import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target(TYPE)

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Remotable {

}

Figure 10‑25: Remotable Annotation

The @Remotable annotation is used to indicate that an SCA service interface is remotable. The @Remotable annotation is valid only on a Java interface, a Java class, a field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter. It MUST NOT appear anywhere else. [JCA90053] A remotable service can be published externally as a service and MUST be translatable into a WSDL portType. [JCA90040]

The @Remotable annotation has no attributes. When placed on a Java service interface, it indicates that the interface is remotable. When placed on a Java service implementation class, it indicates that all SCA service interfaces provided by the class (including the class itself, if the class defines an SCA service interface) are remotable. When placed on a service reference, it indicates that the interface for the reference is remotable.

Snippet 10‑21 shows the Java interface for a remotable service with its @Remotable annotation.

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.*;

@Remotable

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String message);

}

Snippet 10‑21: Use of @Remotable on an Interface

The style of remotable interfaces is typically coarse grained and intended for loosely coupled interactions. Remotable service interfaces are not allowed to make use of method overloading.

Complex data types exchanged via remotable service interfaces need to be compatible with the marshalling technology used by the service binding. For example, if the service is going to be exposed using the standard Web Service binding, then the parameters can be JAXB [JAX-B] types or they can be Service Data Objects (SDOs) [SDO].

Independent of whether the remotable service is called from outside of the composite that contains it or from another component in the same composite, the data exchange semantics are by-value.

Implementations of remotable services can modify input data during or after an invocation and can modify return data after the invocation. If a remotable service is called locally or remotely, the SCA container is responsible for making sure that no modification of input data or post-invocation modifications to return data are seen by the caller.

Snippet 10‑22 shows how a Java service implementation class can use the @Remotable annotation to define a remotable SCA service interface using a Java service interface that is not marked as remotable.

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.*;

public interface HelloService {

String hello(String message);

}

package services.hello;

}

Figure 10‑27: Scope Annotation

The @Scope annotation MUST only be used on a service's implementation class. It is an error to use this annotation on an interface. [JCA90041]

The @Scope annotation has the attribute:

· value – the name of the scope.

SCA defines the following scope names, but others can be defined by particular Java-based implementation types

STATELESS

COMPOSITE

The default value is STATELESS.

Snippet 10‑24 shows a sample for a COMPOSITE scoped service implementation:

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.*;

@Service(HelloService.class)

public class HelloServiceImpl implements HelloService {

public String hello(String message) {

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target(TYPE)

@Retention(RUNTIME)

public @interface Service {

Class<?>[] value();

String[] names() default {};

}

Figure 10‑28: Service Annotation

The @Service annotation is used on a component implementation class to specify the SCA services offered by the implementation. An implementation class need not be declared as implementing all of the interfaces implied by the services declared in its @Service annotation, but all methods of all the declared service interfaces MUST be present. [JCA90042] A class used as the implementation of a service is not required to have a @Service annotation. If a class has no @Service annotation, then the rules determining which services are offered and what interfaces those services have are determined by the specific implementation type.

The @Service annotation has the attributes:

· value (1..1) – An array of interface or class objects that are exposed as services by this implementation. If the array is empty, no services are exposed.

· names (0..1) - An array of Strings which are used as the service names for each of the interfaces declared in the value array. The number of Strings in the names attribute array of the @Service annotation MUST match the number of elements in the value attribute array. [JCA90050] The value of each element in the @Service names array MUST be unique amongst all the other element values in the array. [JCA90060]

The service name of an exposed service defaults to the name of its interface or class, without the package name. If the names attribute is specified, the service name for each interface or class in the value attribute array is the String declared in the corresponding position in the names attribute array.

If a component implementation has two services with the same Java simple name, the names attribute of the @Service annotation MUST be specified. [JCA90045] If a Java implementation needs to realize two services with the same Java simple name then this can be achieved through subclassing of the interface.

Snippet 10‑25 shows an implementation of the HelloService marked with the @Service annotation.

package services.hello;

import org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.Service;

11 WSDL to Java and Java to WSDL

This specification applies the WSDL to Java and Java to WSDL mapping rules as defined by the JAX-WS 2.1 specification [JAX-WS] for generating remotable Java interfaces from WSDL portTypes and vice versa.

SCA runtimes MUST support the JAX-WS 2.1 mappings from WSDL to Java and from Java to WSDL. [JCA100022] For the purposes of the Java-to-WSDL mapping algorithm, the SCA runtime MUST treat a Java interface as if it had a @WebService annotation on the class, even if it doesn't. [JCA100001] The SCA runtime MUST treat an @org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.OneWay annotation as a synonym for the @javax.jws.OneWay annotation. [JCA100002] For the WSDL-to-Java mapping, the SCA runtime MUST take the generated @WebService annotation to imply that the Java interface is @Remotable. [JCA100003]

For the mapping from Java types to XML schema types, SCA permits both the JAXB 2.1 [JAX-B] mapping and the SDO 2.1 [SDO] mapping. SCA runtimes MUST support the JAXB 2.1 mapping from XML Schema to Java and from Java to XML Schema. [JCA100004] SCA runtimes MAY support the SDO 2.1 mapping from XML schema types to Java and from Java to XML Schema. [JCA100005] Having a choice of binding technologies is allowed, as noted in the first paragraph of section 5 of the JSR 181 (version 2) specification, which is referenced by the JAX-WS specification.

11.1 JAX-WS Annotations and SCA Interfaces

A Java class or interface used to define an SCA interface can contain JAX-WS annotations. In addition to affecting the Java to WSDL mapping defined by the JAX-WS specification [JAX-WS] these annotations can impact the SCA interface. An SCA runtime MUST apply the JAX-WS annotations as described in Table 11‑1 and Table 11‑2 when introspecting a Java class or interface class. [JCA100011] This could mean that the interface of a Java implementation is defined by a WSDL interface declaration.

11.2 JAX-WS Client Asynchronous API for a Synchronous Service

The JAX-WS specification defines a mapping of a synchronous service invocation, which provides a client application with a means of invoking that service asynchronously, so that the client can invoke a service operation and proceed to do other work without waiting for the service operation to complete its processing. The client application can retrieve the results of the service either through a polling mechanism or via a callback method which is invoked when the operation completes.

For SCA service interfaces defined using interface.java, the Java interface MUST NOT contain the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS. [JCA100006] For SCA reference interfaces defined using interface.java, the SCA runtime MUST support a Java interface which contains the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS. [JCA100007] If the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS are present in the interface which declares the type of a reference in the implementation, SCA Runtimes MUST NOT include these methods in the SCA reference interface in the component type of the implementation. [JCA100008]
The additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS are recognized in a Java interface according to the steps:

For each method M in the interface, if another method P in the interface has

a. a method name that is M's method name with the characters "Async" appended, and

b. the same parameter signature as M, and

c. a return type of Response<R> where R is the return type of M

then P is a JAX-WS polling method that isn't part of the SCA interface contract.

For each method M in the interface, if another method C in the interface has

a. a method name that is M's method name with the characters "Async" appended, and

b. a parameter signature that is M's parameter signature with an additional final parameter of type AsyncHandler<R> where R is the return type of M, and

c. a return type of Future<?>

then C is a JAX-WS callback method that isn't part of the SCA interface contract.

As an example, an interface can be defined in WSDL as shown in Snippet 11‑1:

</message>

</message>

</operation>

</portType>

Snippet 11‑1: Example WSDL Interface

The JAX-WS asynchronous mapping will produce the Java interface in Snippet 11‑2:

// asynchronous mapping

@WebService

public interface StockQuote {

float getPrice(String ticker);

Response<Float> getPriceAsync(String ticker);

Future<?> getPriceAsync(String ticker, AsyncHandler<Float>);

}

Snippet 11‑2: JAX-WS Asynchronous Interface for WSDL Interface in Snippet 11‑1

For SCA interface definition purposes, this is treated as equivalent to the interface in Snippet 11‑3:

// synchronous mapping

@WebService

public interface StockQuote {

float getPrice(String ticker);

}

Snippet 11‑3: Equivalent SCA Interface Correspoining to Java Interface in Snippet 11‑2

SCA runtimes MUST support the use of the JAX-WS client asynchronous model. [JCA100009] If the client implementation uses the asynchronous form of the interface, the two additional getPriceAsync() methods can be used for polling and callbacks as defined by the JAX-WS specification.

11.3 Treatment of SCA Asynchronous Service API

For SCA service interfaces defined using interface.java, the SCA runtime MUST support a Java interface which contains the server-side asynchronous methods defined by SCA. [JCA100010]

Asynchronous service methods are identified as described in the section "Asynchronous handling of Long Running Service Operations" and are mapped to WSDL in the same way as the equivalent synchronous method described in that section.

Generating an asynchronous service method from a WSDL request/response operation follows the algorithm described in the same section.

12 Conformance

The XML schema pointed to by the RDDL document at the namespace URI, defined by this specification, are considered to be authoritative and take precedence over the XML schema defined in the appendix of this document.

Normative code artifacts related to this specification are considered to be authoritative and take precedence over specification text.

There are three categories of artifacts for which this specification defines conformance:

a) SCA Java XML Document,

b) SCA Java Class

c) SCA Runtime.

12.1 SCA Java XML Document

An SCA Java XML document is an SCA Composite Document, or an SCA ComponentType Document, as defined by the SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY], that uses the <interface.java> element. Such an SCA Java XML document MUST be a conformant SCA Composite Document or SCA ComponentType Document, as defined by the SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY], and MUST comply with the requirements specified in the Interface section of this specification.

12.2 SCA Java Class

An SCA Java Class is a Java class or interface that complies with Java Standard Edition version 5.0 and MAY include annotations and APIs defined in this specification. An SCA Java Class that uses annotations and APIs defined in this specification MUST comply with the requirements specified in this specification for those annotations and APIs.

12.3 SCA Runtime

The APIs and annotations defined in this specification are meant to be used by Java-based component implementation models in either partial or complete fashion. A Java-based component implementation specification that uses this specification specifies which of the APIs and annotations defined here are used. The APIs and annotations an SCA Runtime has to support depends on which Java-based component implementation specification the runtime supports. For example, see the SCA POJO Component Implementation Specification [JAVA_CI].

An implementation that claims to conform to this specification MUST meet the following conditions:

1. The implementation MUST meet all the conformance requirements defined by the SCA Assembly Model Specification [ASSEMBLY].

2. The implementation MUST support <interface.java> and MUST comply with all the normative statements in Section 3.

3. The implementation MUST reject an SCA Java XML Document that does not conform to the sca-interface-java.xsd schema.

4. The implementation MUST support and comply with all the normative statements in Section 10.

B.1.4 SCAClient Classes and Interfaces - what does a vendor need to do?

The SCAClient classes and interfaces are designed so that vendors can provide their own implementation suited to the needs of their SCA runtime. This section describes the tasks that a vendor needs to consider in relation to the SCAClient classes and interfaces.

· Implement their SCAClientFactory implementation class

Vendors need to provide a subclass of SCAClientFactory that is capable of looking up Services in their SCA Runtime. Vendors need to subclass SCAClientFactory and implement the getService() method so that it creates reference proxies to services in SCA Domains handled by their SCA runtime(s).

· Configure the Vendor SCAClientFactory implementation class so that it gets used

Vendors have several options:

Option 1: Set System Property to point to the Vendor’s implementation

Vendors set the org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory System Property to point to their implementation class and use the reference implementation of SCAClientFactoryFinder

Option 2: Provide a META-INF/services file

Vendors provide a META-INF/services/org.oasisopen.sca.client.SCAClientFactory file that points to their implementation class and use the reference implementation of SCAClientFactoryFinder

Option 3: Inject a vendor implementation of the SCAClientFactoryFinder interface into SCAClientFactory

Vendors inject an instance of the vendor implementation of SCAClientFactoryFinder into the factoryFinder field of the SCAClientFactory abstract class. The reference implementation of SCAClientFactoryFinder is not used in this scenario. The vendor implementation of SCAClientFactoryFinder can find the vendor implementation(s) of SCAClientFactory by any means.

C. Conformance Items

This section contains a list of conformance items for the SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs specification.

Conformance ID	Description
[JCA20001]	Remotable Services MUST NOT make use of method overloading.
[JCA20002]	the SCA runtime MUST ensure that a stateless scoped implementation instance object is only ever dispatched on one thread at any one time.
[JCA20003]	within the SCA lifecycle of a stateless scoped implementation instance, the SCA runtime MUST only make a single invocation of one business method.
[JCA20004]	Where an implementation is used by a "domain level component", and the implementation is marked "Composite" scope, the SCA runtime MUST ensure that all consumers of the component appear to be interacting with a single runtime instance of the implementation.
[JCA20005]	When the implementation class is marked for eager initialization, the SCA runtime MUST create a composite scoped instance when its containing component is started.
[JCA20006]	If a method of an implementation class is marked with the @Init annotation, the SCA runtime MUST call that method when the implementation instance is created.
[JCA20007]	the SCA runtime MAY run multiple threads in a single composite scoped implementation instance object and the SCA runtime MUST NOT perform any synchronization.
[JCA20008]	Where an implementation is marked "Composite" scope and it is used by a component that is nested inside a composite that is used as the implementation of a higher level component, the SCA runtime MUST ensure that all consumers of the component appear to be interacting with a single runtime instance of the implementation. There can be multiple instances of the higher level component, each running on different nodes in a distributed SCA runtime.
[JCA20009]	The SCA runtime MAY use by-reference semantics when passing input parameters, return values or exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same JVM if both the service method implementation and the service proxy used by the client are marked “allows pass by reference”.
[JCA20010]	The SCA runtime MUST use by-value semantics when passing input parameters, return values and exceptions on calls to remotable services within the same JVM if the service method implementation is not marked “allows pass by reference” or the service proxy used by the client is not marked “allows pass by reference”.
[JCA30001]	The value of the @interface attribute MUST be the fully qualified name of the Java interface class
[JCA30002]	The value of the @callbackInterface attribute MUST be the fully qualified name of a Java interface used for callbacks
[JCA30003]	if the Java interface class identified by the @interface attribute does contain a Java @Callback annotation, then the Java interface class identified by the @callbackInterface attribute MUST be the same interface class.
[JCA30004]	The interface.java element MUST conform to the schema defined in the sca-interface-java.xsd schema.
[JCA30005]	The value of the @remotable attribute on the <interface.java/> element does not override the presence of a @Remotable annotation on the interface class and so if the interface class contains a @Remotable annotation and the @remotable attribute has a value of "false", then the SCA Runtime MUST raise an error and MUST NOT run the component concerned.
[JCA30006]	A Java interface referenced by the @interface attribute of an <interface.java/> element MUST NOT contain any of the following SCA Java annotations: @AllowsPassByReference, @ComponentName, @Constructor, @Context, @Destroy, @EagerInit, @Init, @Intent, @Property, @Qualifier, @Reference, @Scope, @Service.
[JCA30007]	A Java interface referenced by the @callbackInterface attribute of an <interface.java/> element MUST NOT contain any of the following SCA Java annotations: @AllowsPassByReference, @Callback, @ComponentName, @Constructor, @Context, @Destroy, @EagerInit, @Init, @Intent, @Property, @Qualifier, @Reference, @Scope, @Service.
[JCA30009]	The SCA Assembly Model specification [ASSEMBLY] defines a number of criteria that need to be satisfied in order for two interfaces to be compatible or have a compatible superset or subset relationship. If these interfaces are both Java interfaces, compatibility also means that every method that is present in both interfaces is defined consistently in both interfaces with respect to the @OneWay annotation, that is, the annotation is either present in both interfaces or absent in both interfaces.
[JCA30010]	If the identified class is annotated with either the JAX-WS @WebService or @WebServiceProvider annotations and the annotation has a non-empty *wsdlLocation* property, then the SCA Runtime MUST act as if an <interface.wsdl/> element is present instead of the <interface.java/> element, with an @interface attribute identifying the portType mapped from the Java interface class and containing @requires and @policySets attribute values equal to the @requires and @policySets attribute values of the <interface.java/> element.
[JCA40001]	The SCA Runtime MUST call a constructor of the component implementation at the start of the Constructing state.
[JCA40002]	The SCA Runtime MUST perform any constructor reference or property injection when it calls the constructor of a component implementation.
[JCA40003]	When the constructor completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Injecting state.
[JCA40004]	If an exception is thrown whilst in the Constructing state, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state.
[JCA40005]	When a component implementation instance is in the Injecting state, the SCA Runtime MUST first inject all field and setter properties that are present into the component implementation.
[JCA40006]	When a component implementation instance is in the Injecting state, the SCA Runtime MUST inject all field and setter references that are present into the component implementation, after all the properties have been injected.
[JCA40007]	The SCA Runtime MUST ensure that the correct synchronization model is used so that all injected properties and references are made visible to the component implementation without requiring the component implementation developer to do any specific synchronization.
[JCA40008]	The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation is in the Injecting state.
[JCA40009]	When the injection of properties and references completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Initializing state.
[JCA40010]	If an exception is thrown whilst injecting properties or references, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state.
[JCA40011]	When the component implementation enters the Initializing State, the SCA Runtime MUST call the method annotated with @Init on the component implementation, if present.
[JCA40012]	If a component implementation invokes an operation on an injected reference that refers to a target that has not yet been initialized, the SCA Runtime MUST throw a ServiceUnavailableException.
[JCA40013]	The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Initializing state.
[JCA40014]	Once the method annotated with @Init completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Running state.
[JCA40015]	If an exception is thrown whilst initializing, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state.
[JCA40016]	The SCA Runtime MUST invoke Service methods on a component implementation instance when the component implementation is in the Running state and a client invokes operations on a service offered by the component.
[JCA40017]	When the component implementation scope ends, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state.
[JCA40018]	When a component implementation enters the Destroying state, the SCA Runtime MUST call the method annotated with @Destroy on the component implementation, if present.
[JCA40019]	If a component implementation invokes an operation on an injected reference that refers to a target that has been destroyed, the SCA Runtime MUST throw an InvalidServiceException.
[JCA40020]	The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Destroying state.
[JCA40021]	Once the method annotated with @Destroy completes successfully, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state.
[JCA40022]	If an exception is thrown whilst destroying, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Terminated state.
[JCA40023]	The SCA Runtime MUST NOT invoke Service methods on the component implementation when the component implementation instance is in the Terminated state.
[JCA40024]	If a property or reference is unable to be injected, the SCA Runtime MUST transition the component implementation to the Destroying state.
[JCA60001]	When a bidirectional service is invoked, the SCA runtime MUST inject a callback reference for the invoking service into all fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation and typed by the callback interface of the bidirectional service, and the SCA runtime MUST inject null into all other fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation.
[JCA60002]	When a non-bidirectional service is invoked, the SCA runtime MUST inject null into all fields and setter methods of the service implementation class that are marked with a @Callback annotation.
[JCA60003]	The SCA asynchronous service Java interface mapping of a WSDL request-response operation MUST appear as follows: The interface is annotated with the "asyncInvocation" intent. For each service operation in the WSDL, the Java interface contains an operation with – a name which is the JAX-WS mapping of the WSDL operation name, with the suffix "Async" added – a void return type – a set of input parameter(s) which match the JAX-WS mapping of the input parameter(s) of the WSDL operation plus an additional last parameter which is a ResponseDispatch object typed by the JAX-WS Response Bean mapping of the output parameter(s) of the WSDL operation, where ResponseDispatch is the type defined in the SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs specification.
[JCA60004]	An SCA Runtime MUST support the use of the SCA asynchronous service interface for the interface of an SCA service.
[JCA60005]	If the SCA asynchronous service interface ResponseDispatch handleResponse method is invoked more than once through either its sendResponse or its sendFault method, the SCA runtime MUST throw an IllegalStateException.
[JCA60006]	For the purposes of matching interfaces (when wiring between a reference and a service, or when using an implementation class by a component), an interface which has one or more methods which follow the SCA asynchronous service pattern MUST be treated as if those methods are mapped as the equivalent synchronous methods, as follows: Asynchronous service methods are characterized by: – void return type – a method name with the suffix "Async" – a last input parameter with a type of ResponseDispatch<X> – annotation with the asyncInvocation intent – possible annotation with the @AsyncFault annotation The mapping of each such method is as if the method had the return type "X", the method name without the suffix "Async" and all the input parameters except the last parameter of the type ResponseDispatch<X>, plus the list of exceptions contained in the @AsyncFault annotation.
[JCA70001]	SCA identifies annotations that correspond to intents by providing an @Intent annotation which MUST be used in the definition of a specific intent annotation.
[JCA70002]	Intent annotations MUST NOT be applied to the following: · A method of a service implementation class, except for a setter method that is either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification · A service implementation class field that is not either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification · A service implementation class constructor parameter that is not annotated with @Reference
[JCA70003]	Where multiple intent annotations (general or specific) are applied to the same Java element, the SCA runtime MUST compute the combined intents for the Java element by merging the intents from all intent annotations on the Java element according to the SCA Policy Framework [POLICY] rules for merging intents at the same hierarchy level.
[JCA70004]	If intent annotations are specified on both an interface method and the method's declaring interface, the SCA runtime MUST compute the effective intents for the method by merging the combined intents from the method with the combined intents for the interface according to the SCA Policy Framework [POLICY] rules for merging intents within a structural hierarchy, with the method at the lower level and the interface at the higher level.
[JCA70005]	The @PolicySets annotation MUST NOT be applied to the following: · A method of a service implementation class, except for a setter method that is either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification · A service implementation class field that is not either annotated with @Reference or introspected as an SCA reference according to the rules in the appropriate Component Implementation specification · A service implementation class constructor parameter that is not annotated with @Reference
[JCA70006]	If the @PolicySets annotation is specified on both an interface method and the method's declaring interface, the SCA runtime MUST compute the effective policy sets for the method by merging the policy sets from the method with the policy sets from the interface.

[JCA80060]	The ResponseDispatch.sendFault() method MUST throw an InvalidStateException if either the sendResponse method or the sendFault method has already been called once.
[JCA90001]	An SCA runtime MUST verify the proper use of all SCA annotations and if an annotation is improperly used, the SCA runtime MUST NOT run the component which uses the invalid implementation code.
[JCA90001]	SCA annotations MUST NOT be used on static methods or on static fields. It is an error to use an SCA annotation on a static method or a static field of an implementation class and the SCA runtime MUST NOT instantiate such an implementation class.
[JCA90003]	If a constructor of an implementation class is annotated with @Constructor and the constructor has parameters, each of these parameters MUST have either a @Property annotation or a @Reference annotation.
[JCA90004]	A method annotated with @Destroy can have any access modifier and MUST have a void return type and no arguments.
[JCA90005]	If there is a method annotated with @Destroy that matches the criteria for the annotation, the SCA runtime MUST call the annotated method when the scope defined for the implementation class ends.
[JCA90007]	When marked for eager initialization with an @EagerInit annotation, the composite scoped instance MUST be created when its containing component is started.
[JCA90008]	A method marked with the @Init annotation can have any access modifier and MUST have a void return type and no arguments.
[JCA90009]	If there is a method annotated with @Init that matches the criteria for the annotation, the SCA runtime MUST call the annotated method after all property and reference injection is complete.
[JCA90011]	The @Property annotation MUST NOT be used on a class field that is declared as final.
[JCA90013]	For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, there is no default value for the name attribute and the name attribute MUST be present.
[JCA90014]	For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST NOT have the value false.
[JCA90015]	The @Qualifier annotation MUST be used in a specific intent annotation definition where the intent has qualifiers.
[JCA90016]	The @Reference annotation MUST NOT be used on a class field that is declared as final.
[JCA90018]	For a @Reference annotation applied to a constructor parameter, there is no default for the name attribute and the name attribute MUST be present.
[JCA90019]	For a @Reference annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST have the value true.
[JCA90020]	If the type of a reference is not an array or any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <reference/> element with @multiplicity= 0..1 if the @Reference annotation required attribute is false and with @multiplicity=1..1 if the @Reference annotation required attribute is true.
[JCA90021]	If the type of a reference is defined as an array or as any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <reference/> element with @multiplicity=0..n if the @Reference annotation required attribute is false and with @multiplicity=1..n if the @Reference annotation required attribute is true.
[JCA90022]	An unwired reference with a multiplicity of 0..1 MUST be presented to the implementation code by the SCA runtime as null (either via injection or via API call).
[JCA90023]	An unwired reference with a multiplicity of 0..n MUST be presented to the implementation code by the SCA runtime as an empty array or empty collection (either via injection or via API call).
[JCA90024]	References MAY be reinjected by an SCA runtime after the initial creation of a component if the reference target changes due to a change in wiring that has occurred since the component was initialized.
[JCA90025]	In order for reinjection to occur, the following MUST be true: 1. The component MUST NOT be STATELESS scoped. 2. The reference MUST use either field-based injection or setter injection. References that are injected through constructor injection MUST NOT be changed.
[JCA90026]	If a reference target changes and the reference is not reinjected, the reference MUST continue to work as if the reference target was not changed.
[JCA90027]	If an operation is called on a reference where the target of that reference has been undeployed, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw an InvalidServiceException.
[JCA90028]	If an operation is called on a reference where the target of the reference has become unavailable for some reason, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a ServiceUnavailableException.
[JCA90029]	If the target service of the reference is changed, the reference MUST either continue to work or throw an InvalidServiceException when it is invoked.
[JCA90030]	A ServiceReference that has been obtained from a reference by ComponentContext.cast() corresponds to the reference that is passed as a parameter to cast(). If the reference is subsequently reinjected, the ServiceReference obtained from the original reference MUST continue to work as if the reference target was not changed.
[JCA90031]	If the target of a ServiceReference has been undeployed, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a InvalidServiceException when an operation is invoked on the ServiceReference.
[JCA90032]	If the target of a ServiceReference has become unavailable, the SCA runtime SHOULD throw a ServiceUnavailableException when an operation is invoked on the ServiceReference.
[JCA90033]	If the target service of a ServiceReference is changed, the reference MUST either continue to work or throw an InvalidServiceException when it is invoked.
[JCA90034]	A reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() MUST correspond to the current configuration of the domain. This applies whether or not reinjection has taken place.
[JCA90035]	If the target of a reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() has been undeployed or has become unavailable, the result SHOULD be a reference to the undeployed or unavailable service, and attempts to call business methods SHOULD throw an InvalidServiceException or a ServiceUnavailableException.
[JCA90036]	If the target service of a reference or ServiceReference accessed through the component context by calling getService() or getServiceReference() has changed, the returned value SHOULD be a reference to the changed service.
[JCA90037]	in the cases where reference reinjection is not allowed, the array or Collection for a reference of multiplicity 0..n or multiplicity 1..n MUST NOT change its contents when changes occur to the reference wiring or to the targets of the wiring.
[JCA90038]	In cases where the contents of a reference array or collection change when the wiring changes or the targets change, then for references that use setter injection, the setter method MUST be called by the SCA runtime for any change to the contents.
[JCA90039]	A reinjected array or Collection for a reference MUST NOT be the same array or Collection object previously injected to the component.
[JCA90040]	A remotable service can be published externally as a service and MUST be translatable into a WSDL portType.
[JCA90041]	The @Scope annotation MUST only be used on a service's implementation class. It is an error to use this annotation on an interface.
[JCA90042]	An implementation class need not be declared as implementing all of the interfaces implied by the services declared in its @Service annotation, but all methods of all the declared service interfaces MUST be present.
[JCA90045]	If a component implementation has two services with the same Java simple name, the names attribute of the @Service annotation MUST be specified.
[JCA90046]	When used to annotate a method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the@Callback annotation MUST NOT specify any attributes.
[JCA90047]	For a @Property annotation, if the type of the Java class field or the type of the input parameter of the setter method or constructor is defined as an array or as any type that extends or implements java.util.Collection, then the SCA runtime MUST introspect the component type of the implementation with a <property/> element with a @many attribute set to true, otherwise @many MUST be set to false.
[JCA90050]	The number of Strings in the names attribute array of the @Service annotation MUST match the number of elements in the value attribute array.
[JCA90052]	The @AllowsPassByReference annotation MUST only annotate the following locations: · a service implementation class · an individual method of a remotable service implementation · an individual reference which uses a remotable interface, where the reference is a field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter
[JCA90053]	The @Remotable annotation is valid only on a Java interface, a Java class, a field, a setter method, or a constructor parameter. It MUST NOT appear anywhere else.
[JCA90054]	When used to annotate a method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the type of the method or field MUST be the callback interface of at least one bidirectional service offered by the implementation class.
[JCA90055]	A method annotated with @OneWay MUST have a void return type and MUST NOT have declared checked exceptions.
[JCA90056]	When a method of a Java interface is annotated with @OneWay, the SCA runtime MUST ensure that all invocations of that method are executed in a non-blocking fashion, as described in the section on Asynchronous Programming.
[JCA90057]	The @Callback annotation MUST NOT appear on a setter method or a field of a Java implementation class that has COMPOSITE scope.
[JCA90058]	`When used to annotate a setter method or a field of an implementation class for injection of a callback object, the SCA runtime MUST inject a callback reference proxy into that method or field when the Java class is initialized, if the component is invoked via a service which has a callback interface and where the type of the setter method or field corresponds to the type of the callback interface.`
[JCA90060]	The value of each element in the @Service names array MUST be unique amongst all the other element values in the array.
[JCA90061]	When the Java type of a field, setter method or constructor parameter with the @Property annotation is a primitive type or a JAXB annotated class, the SCA runtime MUST convert a property value specified by an SCA component definition into an instance of the Java type as defined by the XML to Java mapping in the JAXB specification [JAXB] with XML schema validation enabled.
[JCA100001]	For the purposes of the Java-to-WSDL mapping algorithm, the SCA runtime MUST treat a Java interface as if it had a @WebService annotation on the class, even if it doesn't.
[JCA100002]	The SCA runtime MUST treat an @org.oasisopen.sca.annotation.OneWay annotation as a synonym for the @javax.jws.OneWay annotation.
[JCA100003]	For the WSDL-to-Java mapping, the SCA runtime MUST take the generated @WebService annotation to imply that the Java interface is @Remotable.
[JCA100004]	SCA runtimes MUST support the JAXB 2.1 mapping from XML Schema to Java and from Java to XML Schema.
[JCA100005]	SCA runtimes MAY support the SDO 2.1 mapping from XML schema types to Java and from Java to XML Schema.
[JCA100006]	For SCA service interfaces defined using interface.java, the Java interface MUST NOT contain the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS.
[JCA100007]	For SCA reference interfaces defined using interface.java, the SCA runtime MUST support a Java interface which contains the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS.
[JCA100008]	If the additional client-side asynchronous polling and callback methods defined by JAX-WS are present in the interface which declares the type of a reference in the implementation, SCA Runtimes MUST NOT include these methods in the SCA reference interface in the component type of the implementation.
[JCA100009]	SCA runtimes MUST support the use of the JAX-WS client asynchronous model.
[JCA100010]	For SCA service interfaces defined using interface.java, the SCA runtime MUST support a Java interface which contains the server-side asynchronous methods defined by SCA.
[JCA100011]	An SCA runtime MUST apply the JAX-WS annotations as described in Table 11‑1 and Table 11‑2 when introspecting a Java class or interface class.
[JCA100012]	A Java interface or class annotated with @WebService MUST be treated as if annotated with the SCA @Remotable annotation
[JCA100013]	A Java class annotated with the @WebService annotation with its wsdlLocation attribute set MUST have its interface defined by the referenced WSDL definition instead of the annotated Java class.
[JCA100014]	A Java class annotated with the @WebService annotation with its endpointInterface attribute set MUST have its interface defined by the referenced interface instead of annotated Java class.
[JCA100015]	A Java class or interface containing an @WebParam annotation with its header attribute set to “true” MUST be treated as if the SOAP intent is applied to the Java class or interface.
[JCA100016]	A Java class or interface containing an @WebResult annotation with its header attribute set to “true” MUST be treated as if the SOAP intent is applied to the Java class or interface.
[JCA100017]	A Java class containing an @ServiceMode annotation MUST be treated as if the SOAP intent is applied to the Java class.
[JCA100018]	An interface or class annotated with @WebServiceClient MUST NOT be used to define an SCA interface.
[JCA100019]	A class annotated with @WebServiceProvider MUST be treated as if annotated with the SCA @Remotable annotation.
[JCA100020]	A Java class annotated with the @WebServiceProvider annotation with its wsdlLocation attribute set MUST have its interface defined by the referenced WSDL definition is used instead of the annotated Java class.
[JCA100021]	A Java class or interface containing an @SOAPBinding annotation MUST be treated as if the SOAP intent is applied to the Java class or interface.
