Using a distributed SCA domain that works across multiple JVMs is not much
harder than using the [Standalone SCA Domain].
!multi-node-abstract.png!
Here each running node has to have a representation of the domain so we create
and instance of
{code}
org.apache.tuscany.sca.domain.SCADomain.
{code}
Note that the package name is different. This time we are dealing with a
distributed domain rather than an embedded domain.
Again there are a number of newInstance() operations to choose from. The first
two are the same as in the standalone case
{code}
public static SCADomain newInstance()
{code}
Starts a standalone domain with a default domain URI and will treat the
classpath as the contribution to this domain. All .composite files on the
classpath will will read any deployable components created accordingly.
Deployable components are defined by either
1/ placing the .compostie file in the META-INF/sca-deployables/directory
2/ By specifying the composite as deployable in the
META-INF/sca-contribution.xml file
public static SCADomain newInstance(String composite)
Starts a standalone domain with a default domain URI and will try and find the
named composite file in the classpath and use it's location as the contribution
location. It will deploy the named composite.
The third variation has changed to take account of the distributed domain.
{code}
public static SCADomain newInstance(String domainURI, String nodeURI, String
contributionLocation, String... composites)
{code}
This starts a local node with the identifier "nodeURI". This must be a unique
uri that identifies this node. If this uri is a valid url of the form
http://hostname:portnumber/
It is used by the node implementation as the root address for the management
services that the node starts up. In the future, when distributed domain
support has been enabled in webapps this will also indicate to SCA what the
host name and port number of the web app container er.
The domainURI is the URL of the domain manager. This is a separate java
application that the nodes contact in order to register service information and
in order to find information about other services in the domain.
The contributionLocation and composite parameters are as before.
When the node starts is will will the contribution, deploy any deployable
composites and then register information about any external services with the
domain manager.
We can see how this works by taking a look at the calculator-distributed
sample.
!calculator-distributed.png!
We have a sample domain node implementation in the calculator-distributed
sample. If you go to the sample you can run this using the following command
{code}
ant runDomainNode
{code}
This starts some domain management services at the endpoint http://myhost:8877.
So the domain name in this case is http://myhost:8877.
If you take a look at node.CalculatorNode.java you can see how a node is
started.
{code}
SCADomain scaDomain = SCADomain.newInstance(domainName, nodeName, null,
nodeName + "/Calculator.composite");
{code}
Where domainName will be "http://myhost:8877"; and the node name will be "nodeA"
or "nodeB" or "nodeC". In the calculator-distributed sample you can start the
node implementation using the ant build file again, for example
{code}
ant RunNode http://localhost:8877 nodeB
{code}
Once started we can used the SCADomain interface as before. For example, a
service proxy can be created and an operation called.
{code}
CalculatorService calculatorService =
scaDomain.getService(CalculatorService.class, "CalculatorServiceComponent");
double result = calculatorService.add(3, 2));
{code}
Putting this all together the following picture gives an idea of what is going
on under the covers.
!distributed-overview.png!
(!) TBD - more to add re reference inside and outside the domain and the SCA
Binding etc.
