Summary: Support for the Aries Application header
Application-ImportService
Key: ARIES-997
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-997
Project: Aries
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Subsystem
Reporter: Thomas Watson
The old Aries Application support (implemented using equinox composite bundles)
has support for a header Application-ImportService. This header has a
different intention than the subsystems specified Subsystem-ImportService
header.
The Subsystem-ImportService header is intended to be used by composite
subsystem types only and is used to specify the import sharing policy for
services. For subsystems the imported services are expected to be provided by
some provider (bundle) which is visible in the parent subsystem of the
composite which is importing the service.
The Application-ImportService header on the other hand is used to specify
services which are expected to be provided by some remote service technology,
for example SCA. For Aries applications no resources are provisioned to
satisfy the service requirements specified by the Application-ImportService
header. Instead, at provisioning time the Aries application support mocks up a
resource that provides service capabilities that can be used to resolve service
requirements from the resources (bundles) included in an EBA that is being
provisioned.
This issue proposes that the Aries Subsystem implementation should add support
for the Application-ImportService header that is similar in behavior to the
Aries Application support.
