One idea would be to process the dependencies statically via an 
installation/configuration step that generates initialization code.  This could 
be done via the MC compiler (MCC or maybe YAMCC).  

I know that we don't have this now but I like the general idea of 
pre-compiling/caching what ever stuff makes sense to improve performance.

Deployers are just one way of installing a component into MC.
You can do it in many different ways - take any direct API approach.

Not all dependencies could be made explicit.

e.g. let's again take the JNDI example
One bean all it cares is if certain JNDI name is present.
The other one or a few are potential candidates to provide this JNDI name.
But the catch is that providing this name depends on N variables; timestamp, 
weather, ...

So, there is no way to know in a particular timeframe which bean will resolve 
the first bean -- implicit.

Hmm, would it not be more efficient to build a dependency tree/graph in a first 
pass, and then process explicit deps in order. Then the remaining implicit 
deps can be processed brute-force. This of course assumes that the majority of 
deps are explicit, which is something we want in the AS. In fact, all of our 
services in AS should be explicit.

[jboss-user] [Microcontainer] - Re: Installing a context leads to resolve of other unrelated

2009-07-20 Thread david.ll...@jboss.com
Yeah, I don't buy this implicit dependencies business.  The beauty of the MC 
deployer architecture is that when you deploy stuff, you can make dependencies 
which are implicit (as far as the user sees) translate to explicit dependencies 
before the container even sees the deployment.

As for depending on JNDI, I think that should always translate into a real 
explicit dependency, which is filled by a special bean deployment that 
represents the JNDI binding.  These special deployments can be implicitly 
created by the EJB and JCA deployers, much like how I bind logging handlers to 
logger categories.

I think that the value of having a highly efficient (and simple) dependency 
resolution algorithm will far, far outweigh its support for edge cases that can 
be easily implemented in other ways.

Whenever something gets installed we try to move whatever can be moved.
Or how else are you gonna know what and when something can be moved?
e.g. you might have some implicit dependencies
* some bean sets some static flag, the other one inspects that as its dependency
* we put something into JNDI, something else tries to pull that out

Not to mention it would be too much + duplicated work to check for only those 
which might be affected by this new install / move.
Whereas this is simple, but pretty much bullet proof concept.

Shouldn't an implicit dependency be turned (by some piece of code) into an 
explicit dependency? For #1, the other bean is actually depending on the some 
bean for the static flag, so shouldn't this dependency be created explicitly? 
Same holds for #2

Looking at what resolveContexts does:
1) Get all possible From and To states
2) Try to resolve all contexts for each of these From state to To state
3) #2 internally involves resolving dependencies of each of these contexts
4) Install any resolved contexts

Isn't this expensive (correct me if i am wrong) and is being done for every 
context being installed.
