27 Nov 2007 The Eclipse SOA Tools Platform (STP) plug-in and Apache Tuscany simplifies
services development through the use of the popular Eclipse development
environment. Apache Tuscany has also been integrated with the STP to provide a
Service Component Architecture (SCA) Java™ run time for the services you create,
allowing you to annotate your service using the SCA standard and Apache Tuscany
annotations. In this tutorial, you will see STP and Apache Tuscany in action, through the
creation of a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) service.
In this tutorial
An essential characteristic of SOA is the ability to assemble new and existing services
to create new applications that may consist of different technologies. SCA defines a
simple service-based model for construction, assembly and deployment of network of
services that is language-neutral. Apache Tuscany effectively provides developers with
an SCA Java run time by allowing Eclipse developers (Eclipse STP developers, in this
case) to use SCA in the development of Java service components in an SOA environment. In this tutorial, you're going to build an RMI-based service that will be registered in
the server's RMI naming registry. You'll build the service according to the SCA
specification, implemented via Apache Tuscany, that will become part of your overall SOA
solution. You will learn: - How SCA ties into SOA
- How to install the Eclipse STP and Apache Tuscany run time
- How to create an SOA Tools SCA RMI-based service
- How to develop the services Time Bomb functionality
- How to create and develop a Java RMI client
- How to run and test the RMI service
Prerequisites
See Sysem requirements below.
System requirements
This tutorial uses Eclipse and Apache technologies for development with the STP plug-in:
-
Eclipse Classic
- Eclipse is the master platform upon which the Eclipse SOA Tools
plug-in runs on. V3.3.1 was used in this tutorial.
-
Eclipse STP and dependency
plug-ins
- These are the core plug-ins you'll need to develop with the STP. This
tutorial uses version I200710300730. There are several plug-ins available for download,
so be sure to download the one with the stp-all-in-one- suffix. This download includes
all the dependencies listed under the "Requirements" heading.
-
Apache Tuscany SCA
Java
- Apache Tuscany contains the Java SCA implementation that the Eclipse STP plug-in
utilizes in development of services using the SCA standard.
