1.1 avalon-excalibur/lifecycle/WARNING.txt
Index: WARNING.txt
===================================================================
***************************** W A R N I N G **********************************
All user accessible points in this software package are to be considered
"alpha". This means that the developer team is not investing _any_ effort
in providing back compatibility between alpha releases.
This software will continue to be released as "alpha" until both code,
schemas and APIs will be considered stable.
Until then, there will be no warranty that newer versions will maintain back
compatibility even in the most simple cases.
On the other hand, once "beta" status is reached, back incompatible changes
will be made only if absolutely necessary to reach "final" status.
The Avalon development team understands the importance of reliable
software as well as the importance of protecting user investiments by the
creation of a solid development platform that doesn't change.
On the other hand, being the Avalon project a pioneer in many fields, this
cannot be guaranteed before a final status is reached for the software.
Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee back compatibility.
You have been warned.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Component ant.properties.sample
#
# This is an example "ant.properties" file, used to customize the building of
# the component for your local environment. It defines the location of all
# external modules that this component depend on. Copy this file to
# "ant.properties" in the source directory, and customize it as needed.
#
# The ant.properties values in this directory apply only to this component.
# It is overridden by ../ant.properties and ~/build.properties
# It overrides all default.properties files and ~/.ant.properties

<s1 title="What are lifecycle extensions ?">
<p>
Lifecycle extensions are additional stages a component can traverse through during
it's lifetime. Lifecycle extensions allow a container to provide extra functionality
to components in addition to the standard stages defined by Avalon Framework.
</p>
<p>
Avalon Framework defines a set of standard interfaces often termed as Lifecycle
stages that can be used by a container to determine the components requirements
during deployment and subsequent decommissioning.
</p>
<p>
These interfaces allows the developer to separate the various concerns involved when
writing a component. Often termed SoC and IoC (Separation of Concerns and Inversion of
Control), these concepts represent one of the primary advantages of using Avalon.
</p>
<p>
Sometimes it's useful to extend this development paradigm from the framework level
into the application domain, to create customized lifecycle extensions that are called
upon in addition to the standard set defined by the Avalon Framework.
</p>
<p>
Such custom lifecycle stages can further enable domain specific logic across many,
perhaps even unrelated components, can reduce code duplication, and allows the developer
to reuse the same development and thinking paradigm as the standard lifecycle stages.
</p>
<p>
For example, you might want to pass a specialized SecurityManager to some of your
components before they are initialized, or have their internal state persistently cached
during system shutdown and restored at during startup. You might want to pass user
dependent decryption keys to your component, or give components the opportunity to
recycle themselves before being disposed or returned to a pooled component handler.
</p>
<p>
The possibilities and number of extensions are only limited by the requirements of your
particular application domain.
</p>
<p>
This document describes how to add new lifecycle extensions using <strong>Fortress</strong>
and <strong>Merlin</strong> containers.
This document assumes a knowledge of what an Avalon lifecycle is, and a basic understanding
of the standard lifecycle interfaces Avalon Framework defines. References in this document to
Service and ServiceManager can also be freely interpreted as Component and ComponentManager
by the reader.
</p>
<p>
<note>As at the time of writing, Fortress and Merlin is the only Avalon container that
supports lifecycle extensions, which means components that use this feature will not work
with the other Avalon containers (ExcaliburComponentManager, Phoenix, Tweety, etc)</note>
</p>
<p>
Support for lifecycle extensions in the other Avalon containers is technically possible but
has not yet been discussed. Please check with the Avalon developer mailing list if you use
one of these containers and would like to use lifecycle extensions.
</p>
</s1>
<s1 title="How do I extend a Component's lifecycle ?">
<p>
Extending a Component's lifecycle is straightforward. An overview of the process
follows:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Define the new component interface</li>
<p>
Create the new interface defining the operations that should be called upon components
that implement this interface. Using the previously mentioned examples, this would be
your <code>SecurityManageable</code>, <code>Cacheable</code>, <code>Decryptable</code>,
<code>Recycleable</code> interfaces.
</p>
<li>Define an extension object that calls upon the methods defined in the new interface,
during one or more of the pre-defined phases of component's lifecycle</li>
<p>
Create a class that implements the <code>Creator</code> and/or <code>Accessor</code>
interfaces and implemets the interaction with target components supplied under the
create, destroy, access and relase operations.
</p>
<li>Register your extension object</li>
<p>
This depends on the container you are using. In
Merlin you need to include the <extensions> tag in the component .xinfo file and
Merlin will automatically recognize it. In Fortress you register the extension object
with a <code>LifecycleExtensionManager</code>
</p>
<li>Implement the new component interface on your component</li>
<p>
Add the new <code>implements</code> clause to your Component, or Component implementation,
and write any methods defined in the implemented interface.
</p>
<p>
Proceed as normal. Checking for extensions is done implicitly within both Fortress and
Merlin. Once lifecycle extensions are registered they will be activated during the 4
phases defined later in this document.
</p>
</ol>
</s1>
<s1 title="When can a Component's lifecycle be extended ?">
<p>
The life of any component can be broken down to the following phases:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Creation</li>
<p>
When the component is instantiated.
</p>
<li>Access</li>
<p>
When the component is accessed via a ServiceManager/Selector
(<code>lookup()/select()</code>).
</p>
<li>Release</li>
<p>
When the component is released via a ServiceManager/Selector (<code>release()</code>).
</p>
<li>Destruction</li>
<p>
When the component is decommissioned, ready for garbage collection.
</p>
</ol>
<p>
<note>A component will go through it's Creation and Destruction phase only once. Since
extension classes can implement different handling strategies (Poolable, ThreadSafe,
etc), the access and release phases of a component can be applied multiple times.</note>
</p>
<p>
Lifecycle extensions can be added to any of the above defined phases. This allows
you to control the interception point your particular extension will be applied under.
</p>
<p>
For example, thread or user dependent extensions would be added at the access and release
levels (ie. when the component is retrieved and returned to the ServiceManager) as they
depend on runtime data not available until they are actually used.
</p>
<p>
More static, or global extensions would be added at the creation or destruction level, since
they do not depend on any external data that change during runtime, nor are they particular
to any one context of use.
</p>
</s1>
<s1 title="Lifestyle Extension Interfaces">
<p>
A container manages extensions using an extension handler. Handlers may implement
the <code>Creator</code> and/or <code>Accessor</code> interfaces. A creator extension
will be activated during the create and destroy stages of a component lifecycle. A
accessor extension will be activated during the access and release stages.
</p>
<s2 title="The Creator Interface">
<p>The <code>Creator</code> interface describes the create and destroy
stages that occur between a component and a container

<s1 title="Example">
<p>
Let's look at a simple example. The following is also available as a working sample
in Fortress' examples directory.
</p>
<p>
Our example implements a Lifecycle extension for passing a <code>SecurityManager</code> to
Components. We'll call it the <code>SecurityManageable</code> interface.
</p>
<s2 title="Define the component extension interface">
<p>
First we define the new Component extension interface.
</p>
<source>
/**
* Simple custom lifecycle extension interface for supplying a component
* with a security manager.
*/
public interface SecurityManageable
{
/**
* Pass a SecurityManager object to the component
*
* @param manager a SecurityManager value
*/
void secure( SecurityManager manager )
throws SecurityException;
}
</source>
</s2>
<s2 title="Create the lifecycle extensions class">
<p>
Next we define the actual extension implementation which invokes the <code>secure()</code>
method. We extend from <code>AbstractAccessor</code> since we only want
<code>secure()</code> to be invoked upon each access (ie. lookup()) to the component, and
don't need to implement the other 3 LifecycleExtension methods (create, release, and
destroy).
</p>
<source>
/**
* Some custom extensions for this container's components.
*/
public class Extensions
extends AbstractAccessor
{
/**
* Access, called when the given component is being
* accessed (ie. via lookup() or select()).
*
* @param component a Component instance
* @param context a Context instance
* @exception Exception if an error occurs
*/
public void access( Object component, Context context )
throws Exception
{
if ( component instanceof SecurityManageable )
{
// pass in a simple security manager, a real system might want to pass
// in specialized/custom security managers
( ( SecurityManageable ) component ).secure( new SecurityManager() );
}
}
}
</source>
<p>
<note>An extension class may run components through any given number of
extensions, and are not limited to just one.</note>
</p>
</s2>
<s2 title="Register the lifecycle extensions class">
<p>
We then inform our container about the extension. This could be done in several different
ways, for simplicity we'll extend <code>initialize()</code> and add it to the
<code>LifecycleExtensionManager</code> there.
</p>
<p>
(an alternative might be to initialize a LifecycleExtensionManager before creating the
container and pass it in via the <code>FortressConfig.setExtensionManager()</code> method,
or to create a LifecycleExtensionManager subclass that includes the extension preset)
</p>
<source>
/**
* Simple container that includes custom lifecycle extensions.
*/
public final class ExtendedContainer
extends DefaultContainer
{
public void initialize()
throws Exception
{
super.initialize();
m_extManager.addExtension( new Extensions() );
}
}
</source>
</s2>
<s2 title="Use the new component interface">
<p>
To use the new SecurityManageable lifecycle extension, we simply implement
SecurityManageable just as we do with any other Avalon lifecycle interfaces
(assuming a predefined Component interface <code>ExtendedComponent</code>).
</p>
<source>
/**
* ExtendedComponentImpl, demonstrating the use of a custom
* lifecycle stage SecurityManageable. This code does
* a simple access check for several files on the file system and logs
* the results accordingly.
*/
public class ExtendedComponentImpl
extends AbstractLogEnabled
implements ExtendedComponent, SecurityManageable
{
/**
* Pass a SecurityManager object to the component
*
* @param manager a SecurityManager value
*/
public void secure( final SecurityManager manager )
throws SecurityException
{
getLogger().info( "Received SecurityManager instance: " + manager );
final String[] files = { "/tmp", "/vmlinuz", "/usr/lib/libc.a" };
for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; ++i )
{
try
{
manager.checkRead( files[ i ] );
getLogger().info( "Thread can read " + files[ i ] );
}
catch ( SecurityException e )
{
getLogger().info( "Thread can not read " + files[ i ] );
}
}

<s1 title="Introduction">
<p>The Lifecycle package contains a set of interfaces and classes supporting portable lifecycle extensions.</p>
<p>Contributions to this project are based on co-development actives by container projects aiming towards cross-container component portability and consistent service management.</p>
<p>The first step in the container project has been undertaken between the Fortress and Merlin containers on the subject of lifestyle extension support. The original design and implementation of lifecycle extensions by Marcus Crafter was implemented using the Fortress container. Subsequently, and alternative implementation based on Marcus' design was introduced using the Merlin container leading to two incompatible solutions aiming at the same objective. Through a process of cross-project collaboration, the Fortress and Merlin developers reached consensus on a common set of APIs and abstract implementation. These resources constitute the first sub-project of the Excalibur Container package.</p>

<s2 title="Create your lifestyle stage interface">
<p>
The following interface is your domain specific lifecycle stage interface. It is the interface that an extension handler will use to interact with your component during deployment and decommissioning.
</p>

public interface Exploitable
{
/**

<s2 title="Create the lifestyle extension handler">
<p>
An extension handler is the implementation class that will be activated by the Merlin container to handle domain specific tasks during the deployment and decommissioning phases. The extension can implement etier or both of the Creator and Accessor interfaces depeding on the particular extension requirements. IN this example we are defining a simple creation stage handler that supplies a message to an instance of Exploitable.
</p>
<source>
public class ExploitationManager implements Creator
{
/**
* Operation invoked by a container to request creation
* stage extension interception.
* @param object a component to manager

{
((Expoitable)object).exploit( "hello" );
}
}

* stage extension interception.
* @param object a component to manager
* @param context the context

public void destroy( Object object, Context context )
{
}
}
</source>
<p>
To complete the defintion of you extension handler you need to prepare the meta-info that will be used by Merlin to identify the extension and the stage interface is supports. The following <type/> declaration includes an <extensions/> tag that contains a <reference/> element that includes the reference to the Explitable lifecycle stage interface. This is the key that Merlin uses to associate a handler with a component. If you extension class requires any specific context values, they should be declared in a context element within the extension element.

The following <type/> declaration includes an <stage/> tag that contains a <reference/> element that includes the reference to the Exploitable lifecycle stage interface. This is the key that Merlin uses to associate the component with a handler capable of handling the Exploitable interface.
</p>
<source>
<type>
<info>
<name>my-component</name>
</info>
<stages>
<stage>
<name>exploit-me</name>
<reference type="Exploitable" version="1.0"/>
</stage>
</stages>
</type>
</source>
</s2>
<s2 title="Register you component and the extension">
<p>To complete the process you need to declare your handler and component in a jar manifest file. The following entries show the declaration of the component and the extension handler.</p>
<source>
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Ant 1.5
Name: MyComponent.class
Avalon: Type
Name: ExploitationManager.class
Avalon: Type
</source>
</s2>
<s2 title="Execute the example">
<p>To execute the example you simply need to include a reference to you component within a Merlin container declaration. The following XML source declares a Merlin kernel, container, and component. You don't need to include the handler because Merlin can sort that out itself based on the information supplied in the meta-info declarations.</p>
<source>
<kernel>
<container name="my-container>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib">
<include name="my-domo.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
<component name="demo" class="MyComponent" activation="startup"/>
<container>
</kernel>
</source>
