2. D&C 5.0 (1/2)
The D&C specification was originally developed
to launch and tear down a Component- based
applications in a target environment in a
defined manner

3. D&C 5.0 (2/2)
The 4.0 D&C specification doesn't offer a
standardized way to :
– control the behavior of a launched application
– monitor the internals of a deployment engine
– control the behavior of a deployment engine

4. Shortcomings 4.0 D&C
specification
At this moment the D&C specification specifies
a static environment: launch and tear down an
application
There is no standardized way to
– add components to a launched application
– remove components from a launched
application

5. Shortcomings continued
No standardized way to
– establish connections after launch
– disconnect connections after launch
– change the components attributes after
launch
– control the behavior of a deployment engine
– monitor the internals of a deployment engine

6. What do we ask for ?
A revised D&C specification which defines how
to
▪ add components to a launched application
▪ remove components from a launched application
▪ establish connections after launch
▪ disconnect connections after launch
▪ change attributes of components after launch

7. What do we ask for ?
A revised D&C specification which defines how
to
– control the behavior of a deployment engine
– monitor the internals of a deployment engine
– handle requests, like preparePlan and startLaunch:
▪ asynchronous
▪ event driven
▪ scheduling of events
▪ interceptors

8. Our goal
A Deployment and Configuration
specification which gives Executors a
flexible deployment engine which is able to
reconfigure, redeploy, guard, and monitor an
entire application in its target environment
