Composite Services
Architecture (CSA)
• In March 2007, Composite Services Architecture (CSA)
is passed on to OASIS by the Open Service Oriented
Architecture collaboration (www.OSOA.org).
• CSA is supported by BEA, IBM, Oracle, Tibco, Red Hat
and others.
• CSA Consists of SCA (Service Component Architecture)
and SDO (Service Data Objects).
• Implemented by IBM WebSphere, Oracle, Red Hat,
Tibco, and the open source Apache Tuscany.
• Describes how to compose and deploy applications
supporting SOA.
• Decouple business logic from details associated with the
call on that logic.
• Introduces The Service Component Definition Language
(“skiddle”) to describe composites.

SCA Specifications (1)
• Assembly model defining composites,
components, references and wires
• Policy Framework allowing analysts to
define constraints, capabilities and
qualities of service expectations
• Bindings allowing heterogeneous
transports (SOAP, JMS, IIOP,etc.)
• Java annotations, API’s and component
implementation (@Remotable)
• C++, BPEL, PHP, EJB and Spring for
SCA

SCA Specifications (2)
• The Assembly model defines
composites, components, references
and wires.
The assembly model defines how components are combined
into composites and are packaged and deployed as services.
We specify such details as encryption, authentication and
queuing outside of the business service.

SCA Specifications (3)
• The Policy Framework allows analysts to
define constraints, capabilities and
qualities of service expectations.
WSDL does not support the description of policies.
The SCA Policy Framework uses WS-Policy and
WS-PolicyFramework to describe policies for service
users.
From www.osoa.org:
Business value: The ability to define policies outside the
services themselves lets administrators set and change
the policies without changing code. It also means administrators
know their policies are implemented globally.

SCA Specifications (4)
• Bindings allow heterogeneous
transports (SOAP, JMS, IIOP,etc.) to be
used.
From www.osoa.org:
Bindings specify the mechanisms to access particular kinds
of components. Applications built with SCA can use Web
services, JMS, JCA and EJBs. (More bindings are on the way
from osoa.org.) As you would expect, the bindings can be
defined outside the code itself.
Business value: The bindings provided in SCA allow
developers to use a wide variety of services without
knowing the details of how those services are accessed.
With the bindings external to the code, the bindings can be
changed without changing the code.

references
Dependency injection: The SCA runtime performs a lookup for the
reference. The business logic need not be concerned with how the
other service is accessed.
Nor is the business logic developer concerned with how this component
is accessed. That detail is specified as a binding - outside of the business
logic.

A component is the atom of an SCA
application. It lives within a composite.

A component might talk to other
components within its own domain or
<more components > outside of its own domain.

An SCA runtime knows what to do with
this.

A service contains binding information.
A reference contains binding information.
A wire connects components.
Components may live in different
processes or on different machines.
Components might be written in Java,
BPEL or some other language.
A composite may be used as a component
in a higher-level assembly.
A composite does not cross domain
boundaries.
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture
18
Master of Information System
Management
SCA Domains
• Contain one or more composites.
• May cross machine and process
boundaries.
• Are each managed by a single
group of people.
• Run on a single vendor’s SCA
runtime.
• Place no restrictions on how
internal communication is done.
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture
Master of Information System
Management
19
SCA Bindings
• Bindings specify how one component
communicates with another.
• A single component may have multiple
bindings.
• The use of bindings separate what a
component does from how we
communicate with it.
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture

Management
20
SCA Services, References
& Properties
• Components expose one or more services.
• How the services are described depends on
the technology.
• Descriptions for clients in other domains
would typically use interoperable WSDL.
• A service provides some number of
operations.
• If a component uses other services then
these are described with references.
• Properties are values taken from the SCDL
and describe the world to the component.

SCA Summary
• From www.osoa.org:
• As your SOA becomes more complex, you'll need the
simplicity and flexibility of SCA. The Service Component
Architecture helps you:
• Save time and money - A simpler API means a shorter
learning curve with fewer errors.
• Enable and encourage reuse - Developers can create
composites that perform useful functions. SCA makes it easy
to use and reuse them.
• Manage your system - Because policies can be defined outside
the code that performs the service, you can change the
policies without changing the code.

Service Data Objects
(SDO)
• A specification to unify data programming
across heterogeneous data sources.
• May be used by SCA to interact with data
sources.
• Several competing approaches exist in the
Java persistence API space.
• SDO is more mature and general than
Java’s Persistence API (JPA).
• SDO is not Java specific, e.g., has support in
PHP.
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture

23
Service Data Objects
(SDO)
• Typical data sources include:
JDBC
Entity EJB’s
Web Services
XML sources
JMS messages
Enterprise Information Systems
through J2EE Connector Architecture
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture
Master of Information System
Management
24
Goals of SDO
• To simplify the life of the application
developer.
• To provide new opportunities for tools
and frameworks to work with a wide
variety of data sources.
• Thus, we see support for both static
(account.getBalance()) and dynamic
(resultSet.getFloat(“BALANCE”)) data
API’s. Quiz: Which one is for application
programmers and which one is for
tools?
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture

Management
25
SDO Architecture (1)
• Based on disconnected data
graphs and optimistic concurrency
(OC).
One DAS may
client
OC: If any change occurs on the
backend while the client is making
changes, a subsequent attempt to
update must be rejected. The client
would then need to take appropriate
action. Pessimistic concurrency locks
resources. OC is preferred if concurrent
access is rare.
95-843: Service Oriented Architecture

Data Access work with
Service (DAS) RDBMS and
another may
work with
XML etc.
Data Source
The DAS
creates the
graph of
data
objects.
26
SDO Architecture(2)
• Data Objects hold the data and metadata.
• Data Objects have rich relationship support.
• The Data Graph logs every change to the data.

Data Access
Service (DAS)
• Xpath is used to dynamically
select data objects from the
data graph.

SCA and JBI
• See article by Mike Edwards (IBM)
at http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Relationship+of+SCA+and+JBI
• How does SCA differ from JBI?
• JBI stands for Java Business Integration
• JBI defines a set of of Service Provider Interfaces for
middleware providers to implement if they want to
install new service engines (SCA implementation types)
or binding components (SCA bindings).
• SCA is for developers, assemblers and deployers of
business services. SCA says nothing about how new
implementation types or new bindings might be
introduced.
• JBI is for middleware vendors. SCA is for business
developers.

29
SCA and JBI Bottom Line
• See article by Mike Edwards (IBM)
at http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Relationship+of+SCA+and+JBI
“JBI should be considered a Java technology that
potentially helps middleware vendors to implement
SCA. JBI and SCA do not compete or conflict with each
other.”
“SCA, on the other hand, allows multiple technologies
to be used to implement services( e.g. Java, BPEL,
C++) and multiple bindings to communicate with
services (e.g. web services, JMS).”
