  1. CORBA Component • Component model • Container programming model • Component implementation framework • Component packaging and deployment CORBA Component

  2. The Component Model • Component Implementation Definition Language (CIDL) • Superset of PSDL • Code generation • Component type • Ports • Facets: specifies a component’s functionality as a set of interfaces rather than as a single interface with simple IDL interface definition • Configuration ports: specifies how a component can be connected to other components that communicate either through invocation or event notification • Basic component Regular CORBA object • Extended component • Component homes: generalizations of the factory design pattern for creating, locating component instances • Component instances are accessed through regular CORBA object references CORBA Component

  3. Facets • Facets: specifies a component’s functionality as a set of interfaces rather than as a single interface with simple IDL interface definition #include <CosEventChannelAmin.idl> Module ComponentEventChannel { interface ManagedObject { // management operations }; component EventChannelComp supports ManagedObject { // facets provides ProxyPushConsumer proxy_push_consumer; provides ProxyPushSupplier proxy_push_supplier; provides ProxyPullConsumer proxy_pull_consumer; provides ProxyPullSupplier proxy_pull_supplier; }; } CORBA Component

  4. Facets • Component equivalent interface interface EventChannelComp:Components::CCMObject, ManagedObject{ ProxyPUshConsumer proxy_push_consumer(); ProxyPushSupplier proxy_push_supplier(); ProxyPullConsumer proxy_pull_consumer(); ProxyPullSupplier proxy_pull_supplier(); }; CORBA Component

  5. Facets Equivalent interface proxy_push_consumer proxy_pull_consumer Facets proxy_push_supplier proxy_pull_supplier CORBA Component

  6. Configuration and Composition Ports • Attributes and inheritance • Attributes are declared in a component definition • Attributes should be used only for configuration purposes • Inheritance between component types is restricted to single inheritance • Receptacles • A named connection point that accepts interfaces and connects these to the component for future use. • Event sources and sinks • Special facets and receptacles CORBA Component

  7. Component Ports Equivalent interface component Receptacles Facets Event sources Event sinks Attributes CORBA Component

  8. Component Homes • Primary entry point for clients into the world of component • Type managers for component types • Provide set of operations • Default operation: no-argument factory operation for components of the type they manage • More factory operations • Find operations to retrieve individual, preexisting component instances CORBA Component

  9. Component Container • Container: runtime environment for component instances • Functionality of the containers: • Create and manage component instances • Provide a simplified standard API to the CORBA services CORBA Component

  10. Component Container Home Component Client External Callbacks Internal POA ORB Transactions Security Persistence Notification CORBA Component

  11. Component Categories • Component categories is defined in CIDL, not in IDL • Not properties of component types • Categories • Service • Lifetime of service component is restricted to the lifetime of a single operation • Cannot be associated with persistent state • Transient state is not visible to clients • Require no client interaction • Home for service components provides only factory operations, not finder operations • Computation that only return results can be thought of as service component CORBA Component

  12. Component Categories • Categories • Session • Has only transient lifetime and no persistent state • Have a lifetime of client interaction • Online shopping • Process • Has persistent reference and persistent state • Model business processes • Well-defined lifetime • Component home provide factory operations, no finder operations • Entity • Modeling persistent entities • Expose their persistent identity, i.e., a primary key • Home provide a finder operation CORBA Component

  13. Component Packaging and Deployment • Deployment • Selecting target containers for component implementations • Installing component homes and instances from packages • Configuring component properties • Connecting components via interface and event ports • Descriptors • Software package descriptors • Component descriptors • Component assembly descriptors • Property file descriptors CORBA Component
