The OO Dream
quot;Object Oriented technology was going to change the
world . . . we would have all these objects in our library and
building a new system would be a snap. Just get a few classes,
bunch them together . . . and voila!quot;

Coupling!
• Classes can almost never be used in isolation
• They depend on other classes
• Those classes depend on other packages,
which depend on other JARs . . .

8. OSGi Service Component Models
Components ...
• are self-contained and declare their dependencies
• declare their interface and hide their internals
• interact with the container and obey to a life cycle

9. OSGi Service Component Models
OSGi enables Components
• OSGi Framework is the container
• Managed dependencies
• Life cycle and interactions with the container
• Loose coupling through service model

Why Service Component Models?

11. OSGi Service Component Models
Why not use plain OSGi APIs?
• We want to avoid OSGi glue code
• POJOs enhance testability
• Repetitive glue code reduces productivity
• Service Component Models ease service handling
• OSGi APIs lead to involved code
• SCMs offer advanced features

15. OSGi Service Component Models
Declaring a Component
• Specify component description(s) via
Service-Component manifest header
Service-Component: OSGI-INF/treeView.xml
• Specify the implementation class
<component xmlns=quot;http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0quot;>
<implementation class=quot;...TreeViewquot;/>
</component>

16. OSGi Service Component Models
Providing a Service
• Specify each service interface
• By default components providing a service are delayed
<service>
<provide interface=quot;...IViewContributionquot;/>
<provide interface=quot;...IPersonListenerquot;/>
</service>

17. OSGi Service Component Models
Referencing Services
• Specify the service interface
• Specify bind and unbind methods
• Specify the cardinality
<reference interface=quot;...IPersonManagerquot;
bind=quot;setPersonManagerquot;
unbind=quot;removePersonManagerquot;
cardinality=quot;1..1quot;/>

18. OSGi Service Component Models
Concurrency for static and dynamic Policy
• No concurrency issues for static policy
• On (un)binding of references the component is deactivated and activated again
• Pay attention to concurrency for dynamic policy
• The component must be thread-safe regarding references
<reference ...
policy=quot;dynamicquot;/>

Declaring a Bundle Application Context
• By default configurations are looked up under
META-INF/spring/
• Multiple configurations are merged into a
single Application Context

23. OSGi Service Component Models
Providing a Service
• Specify each service interface or use auto-export
• Beans exported as service cannot be lazy
<osgi:service ref=quot;treeViewquot;
auto-export=quot;interfacesquot; />

24. OSGi Service Component Models
Referencing Services
• A local bean is created with given ID
• Specify the service interface
• Specify the cardinality
<osgi:reference id=quot;personManagerOSGiquot;
interface=quot;...IPersonManagerquot;
cardinality=quot;1..1quot;>

25. OSGi Service Component Models
Concurrency in Spring DM
• References are only injected once
• Proxies for unary references
• Managed collections for multiple references with “Iterator guarantee”
• Concurrency issue is swapped for uncertainty
• ServiceUnavilableException

28. OSGi Service Component Models
Declaring a Component
• Component metadata will be used to
instrument the bytecode at build-time
• Specify component and instance
<ipojo>
<component classname=quot;...TreeViewquot; />
<instance component=quot;...TreeViewquot; />
</ipojo>

29. OSGi Service Component Models
Providing a Service
• Service interfaces are computed by iPOJO
• iPOJO services are created lazily
<component ...>
<provides />
</component>

30. OSGi Service Component Models
Referencing Services
• iPOJO offers field and method injection
<requires field=quot;logServicequot; />
<requires>
<callback type=quot;bindquot; method=quot;setPersonManagerquot; />
<callback type=quot;unbindquot; method=quot;removePersonManagerquot; />
</requires>

31. OSGi Service Component Models
Concurrency in iPOJO
• iPOJO manages concurrency for references
• We can write our code without regard for thread-safety
• Bytecode instrumentation weaves in all necessary synchronization
