  4. Issues Overview • [1] Attribute set description model • [2] Component description model • [3] Lifecycle management model • [4] Dependencies and assertions • [1-4] Relationship with SmartFrog

  5. CDL Top-Level Structure • Divided into sections (similar to WSDL) • Cf. SmartFrog has a uniform language structure and utilizes predefined names and frameworks (e.g., sfConfig, Prim) • Configuration on a system can be described in multiple CDL files • <import> and <include> <cdl targetNamespace=“xsd:anyURI”> <types …/>? <!-- schema definition --> <configuration …/>? <!-- configuration data --> <system …/>? <!-- system structure --> <services …/>? <!-- service endpoints --> </cdl>

  6. Import and Include • Similar to XML Schema • <import namespace=“xsd:anyURI” location=“xsd:anyURI” /> • Import of external namespaces • <include location=“xsd:anyURI” /> • Inclusion of XML Data • Similar to SmartFrog’s #include but may be more restrictive due to validity as XML data

  7. Issue 1: Attribute Set Description Model

  8. Attribute Sets • Configuration is a set of attribute-value pairs • Inheritance: the “extends” operation (from SmartFrog) for extensibility of configuration • Every attribute set can be referred to with a QName extends reuse override addition

  9. Using QName for Attribute Set Name • Namespace realizes a globally unique reference to specify an attribute set <cdl targetNamespace=“uri1”> <attributeSet name=“abc” .../> </cdl> <cdl xmlns:tmpl=“uri1”> <attributeSet name=“myabc” extends=“tmpl:abc” .../> </cdl> A template CDL provided by the application provider CDL specified by the application user

  10. [Alt-1] CDL specific attribute elements (current draft) <cdl:attributeSet cdl:name=“apache” cdl:extends=“ex:httpd”> <cdl:attribute> <cdl:name>hostname </cdl:name> <cdl:value> example.com </cdl:value> </cdl:attribute> </cdl:attributeSet> [Alt-2] Configuration specific schema <tns:apache cdl:name=“apache” cdl:extends=“ex:httpd”> <tns:hostname cdl:use=“…”…> example.com </tns:hostname> </tns:apache> Two Design Alternativesof Attribute Description

  11. [Alt-1] Attribute Sets • <attributeSet> element • @name defines QName of this set • @extends specifies a prototype set <attributeSet name=“xsd:NCName” extends=“xsd:QName”?> <attribute …/>* </attributeSet>

  12. [Alt-1] Attributes • A pair of name and value • Augmented by <type>, <lifetime>, <use>, etc. • type: type definition (XML Schema) • lifetime: deployment | runtime | dynamic • use: required | optional | readonly • -- discussed later as another issue <attribute> <name>xsd:string</name> <type/>? <lifetime/>? <use/>? <value/>? </attribute> <attribute> <name>host</name> <type>xns:ipAddress</type> <lifetime>deployment</lifetime> <use>required</use> <value>15.144.56.243</value> </attribute>

  13. [Alt-1] Nested Attribute Sets • An attribute can have an attribute set as its value • Nesting of attribute sets is flattened and linked with references (QNames) <attribute> <name>database-server</name> <type>cdl:refToAttributeSet</type> <lifetime>deployment</lifetime> <use>required</use> <value>tns:database</value> </attribute> <attributeSet name=“database” extends=“oracle” > <attribute .../> ... </attributeSet>

  14. [Alt-1] Reference to Attribute • An attribute is identified with the QName of an attribute set + the name (string) of an attribute • This is one reason why attribute sets are flattened <reference> <attributeSet>xsd:QName</attributeSet>? <attributeName>xsd:string</attributeName> </reference> (alternative expression) <reference set=“xsd:QName”?>xsd:string</reference>

  15. [Alt-2] Fully-bound Configuration Documents • After references are resolved and values are fixed, a document becomes a simple and natural XML data based on application-specific schema • Similar to WS-ResourceProperties <apache cdl:name=“xsd:NCName”> <MaxClients>150</MaxClients> <HostName>example.com</HostName> … </apache> resolution <apache cdl:name=“xsd:NCName” cdl:extends=“xsd:QName”> <HostName /> … </apache> Schema for a particular configuration document

  16. [Alt-2] CDL Functionalities • Functionalities same as Alt-1 are achieved with attributes (@name, @extends,…) <apache cdl:name=“apachetmpl” cdl:extends=“x:httpd”> <MaxClients>150</MaxClients> <HostName cdl:lifetime=“deployment” cdl:use=“optional” /> … </apache> CDL specified by the application user extends <apache cdl:name=“myapacheconfig” cdl:extends=“tmpl:apachetmpl”> <HostName>myuri.com</HostName> … </apache> A template CDL provided by the application provider

  17. [Alt-2] Drawback: Schema Definition Is Mandatory • Schema is required to assure a valid CDL document is also a valid XML document Schema for vendor specific httpd Schema for generic httpd New elements added Redefinition of schema <httpd cdl:name=“template” …/> <apache cdl:name=“template” …/> <apache cdl:name=“myapache” …/> CDL for generic httpd template CDL for vendor specific httpd template CDL for user deployment

  18. extends includes [Alt-2] Nested Attribute Sets • Nested structure can be applied • Better readability • More powerful inheritance and reference models <webapp cdl:name=“mywebapp” cdl:extends=“tmpl:webapp”> <webtier> <MaxClients>100</MaxClients> </webtier> <apptier> <MaxThreads>100</MaxThreads> </apptier> <dbtier> <MaxConnection>150</MaxConnection> </dbtier> … </webapp> Inheritance (recursive) Reference (QName+Xpath) <reference root=“xsd:QName”> xpath </reference>

  19. [Alt-1] CDL specific attribute elements Pros: Schema is optional Semantically similar to SmartFrog Cons: Bad readability Configuration data must be given in a different style from other WS-RF based resources [Alt-2] Configuration specific schema Pros: Readability Syntactically similar to SmartFrog Better match with WS-RF Xpath reference model Dependencies and assertions can use XPath Cons: Schema is required Pros and Cons

  20. Issue 2: Component (Wrapper) Model

  21. <system> <system> <component> <component> <component> Component Service endpoint Component Service endpoint Component Service endpoint WS-Resource WS-Resource WS-Resource Component Model • A system is a tree which leafs are components • A component refers to an attribute set • A component is deployed through a Component Service (CDDLM wrapper) <configuration> <attributeSet> <attributeSet>

  22. Binding to Component Service Endpoints • A <services> element binds components to component service endpoints • Similar definition structure to WSDL Typically given before resource assignment agreement Component Service endpoint <system> <system> WS-Resource <component> <component> Typically given after resource assignment agreement <component> <services> <service component=“xsd:QName”>wsa:EndpointReference</service> … </services>

  23. Component Model Discussion • Component Service endpoint may be either WS-RF-based or OGSI-based • Nice to have a transparent description in CDL • WS-Addressing’s EndPointReference may be used • Do we standardize: • How to identify content of application (e.g., URL, path within an archive file) • How to transfer content of application • -- May be component service specific

  24. Issue 3: Lifecycle Management Model

  25. Lifecycle Management in CDDLM • CDDLM Processor must manage deployment lifecycle of multiple components • deploy • start • stop • undeploy • get/set • getStatus • deploy • start • stop • undeploy • get/set • getStatus Component Service endpoint CDDLM-Service endpoint Consistency among components should be maintained CDDLM Processor Component Service endpoint CDDLM Client (e.g., Job Manager) Component Service endpoint

  26. Constraints on Attributes • For better management of consistency • Lifetime: deployment|runtime|dynamic • When value should be fixed • Use: required|optional|readonly • Whether value should be given • Read-only value is assigned only by Component services (only get operation is valid on this attribute) (e.g., a port number may be dynamically assigned) • Lifetime must be specified when use is specified • Type: QName of schema [Alt-1] • SmartFrog has only deployment and dynamic (LAZY) lifetime. CDDLM does not know when a lazy value is resolved.

  27. Lifecycle Dependency in a System • Restriction on the order of lifecycle management operations • <deployAfter> • <startAfter> • If lifecycle dependency is only from data dependency, we may not need these notations (order can be inferred from data dependency)

  28. Issue 4: Dependencies and Assertions

  29. Dependencies • An attribute value is derived from other attribute values <assign> <to><reference …/></to> <from>{<reference …/>|<expression …/>|<value …/>}</from> </assign> and/or <attribute> <name>xsd:string</name> {<reference …/>|<expression …/>|<value …/>}? </attribute>

  30. Assertions • An assertion specifies a condition which must be satisfied by given attribute values • An assertion has QName so that it can be overridden <assert name=“xsd:NCName” language=“xsd:anyURI”?> xsd:any </assert>

  31. Issues on Dependencies and Assertions • Expression languages? • Specified with URI • There should be one normative expression • We may let Xpath 1.0 be the default normative expression. • http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116 • Later we may add Xpath 2.0 as an alternative URI • Where to place • Within an attribute set • Outside of attribute sets

  32. Example of XPath-based Expression • Any attribute value can be assigned to xpath VariableReference ($QName) by using <reference> and <let> <cdl:expression> <xp:root><cdl:reference …/></xp:root>? <xp:let name=“NCName”> * <cdl:reference …/> </xp:let> <xp:return>xpath</xp:return> </cdl:expression> the context node variable bindings xpath pattern

  33. Relationship with Attribute Description Alternatives • If we take [Alt-2] for attribute description, Xpath-based dependencies and assertion would be more powerful and intuitive <apache cdl:name=“apachetmpl”> <MaxClients>150</MaxClients> <HostName/> … <cdl:assert> boolean(MaxClients > 0) </cdl:assert> </apache> The parent of <assert> (i.e., <apache>) is regarded as the context node of XPath

  34. Action Items • Completion of the first draft by GGF11 • More discussion on Issues • Evaluation on design alternatives based on examples (from our use cases) • CDDLM-Services • “basic” services and component services • LM requirements • Partial (re) deployment, etc.
