Binding extension example

I've checked in an example of a simple binding (r430211) that  
demonstrates creating services and references. For references, the  
binding just echoes a single param back to the client.

Related to this, I've also completed a series of commits that move  
application wiring from the responsibility of the builders to  
initiate up into the builder registry which delegates to the system  
wire service. Once a Service, Reference, or Component is created and  
returned from a builder, the builder registry will invoke the wire  
service to create the appropriate inbound and outbound wires. These  
wires will then be injected into the Service, Reference or Component.  
At a later point, the connector will bridge outbound (source) to  
inbound (target) wires.

Services and References will generally not need to do anything other  
than hold onto the wires (implemented as a convenience by the  
extension base classes), but components are responsible for  
implementing a strategy for injecting them onto implementation  
instances as the latter are requested. In the case of Java, this  
involves delegating back to the wire service to create a proxy  
fronting the wire and implementing the appropriate reference  
interface.  This proxy will be injected onto an implementation  
instance as it is created. BPEL or an other implementation type may  
do something entirely different and maybe not even use proxies.

Certain types of composite components may need to manually bridge  
Services to targets. For example, a Spring composite is opaque to the  
SCA wiring fabric in that its beans are not visible as components.  
The Spring builder is responsible for delegating to the builder  
registry to create a service which it then must provide with a target  
invoker capable of dispatching into the Spring application context  
and to a target bean. This can be viewed as the SCA wiring mechanism  
delegating to Spring for internal wiring.

What I am saying is that the documentation on clone() is quite  
explicit about what it does and answers the questions that you raised.

"this method creates a new instance of the class of this object and  
initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the  
corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the  
contents of the fields are not themselves cloned"

In other words, the object itself is duplicated at a low level by the  
VM (allowing it to do things like clone final fields). This has the  
effect of copying all primitives and object references. This is a  
"shallow" copy because only the references to objects are copied and  
not their nested contents.

This is ok if "a class contains only primitive fields or references  
to immutable objects" and means that "no fields in the object  
returned by super.clone need to be modified." So in this case where  
the only field "cacheable" is a primitive it does not need to be set  
on the clone.

Because Object.clone() applies to the entire object this behaviour  
also applies to all subclasses. Only when a field contains a  
reference to a mutable object does the subclass need to worry about  
doing a deep copy of that referenced object.

As for RMIInvoker, the remoteMethod field is of type Method which is  
effectively immutable and so does not need to be deep copied.

I did wonder about this, doesn't it need to be a deep copy? I don't really
understand the purpose of cacheable, but if its set on the one instance
shouldn't it be also set on the clone? And do subclasses need to copy their
fields? Say the RMI binding was using this abstract class should it setting
the remoteMethod field on the clone?

I've not had coffee yet but AIUI you don't need to override clone in  
subclasses unless you need a deep copy. The way it is implemented at  
the moment does an unnecessary copy of the cacheable field (as that

Ok I've added a TargetInvokerExtension. The clone method doesn't seem
perfect yet as subclasses now aren't forced to implement clone by the

Yea we could do that. Probably the one invoke method that takes the  
payload from the message could be abstracted and if there is a  
special target type that needs access to message headers or something  
it could just override it. Do you want to create one as I'm out later  
today?

Great stuff Jim, these changes look really good to me. Makes implementing a
binding way easier.

What do you think about having an abstract SPI class for the TargetInvoker
which includes all the cachable, optimizable and invoke methods?
