I want to start getting the Contribution service integrated to the process of running components, and I was thinking to give it a try by integrating the service with the new DeafultSCAContatiner that some sample apps in the integration branch is using. I think the idea is to stop using the launcher to consume the application SCDL, and ask the Contribution service to process the application as a contribution.
from: component = launcher.bootApplication("application", applicationSCDL); to maybe: URI appURI = this.contributionService.contribute(contributionLocation, false); ... Today, when you ask the contribution service to consume an application, you will get back an URI, that is an ID for that contribution. So, my question is, how the external world would get access to the model objects created during the loading phase from the contribution service ? Is the contribution service responsible to register these model objects (e.gcomponentDefinition) into some specific model repository ( e.g the domain) ? and If so, how do I got about doing this ? Could someone please share some ideas, or more concrete example on how I'd go about integrating the Contribution service into the big picture ? -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende
