I think either of these approaches is possible.  My current code takes the
first approach for wired local calls using binding.sca, and the second
approach for unwired calls across the Web Service binding, with the dynamic
addressing information being passed using WS-Addressing headers.  For a
local call, we could put this information in a thread-local context.

Hi, Simon.

Multiple references can be wired to the same service. To support the 
callback, we need to know which component reference the call is from. The 
information is probably in the context of the invocation.


We can create a fixed wire from "$callback$.s1" to "$callback$.r1". Then we 
need to know all the references that are wired to this service. I'm 
wondering if we can use the $callback$.s1 more dynamically by binding the 
caller as the callback target on the fly?

Re: Question on callback bindings

2007-07-20 Thread Raymond Feng

Hi,

1) Normalize the callbacks as a regular reverse call in the 
CompositeBuilderImpl:


a) Create an internal service for the callback of a reference on the source 
component.



   http://ns1#wsdl.interface(Service1)"

2) Create an internal reference for the callback of a service on the target

Folks,

This is the correct interpretation.

SCA callback is very general and make no assumption about the nature of 
the transport used between the reference and the service.


The call interface has each method able to be a full request/response, if 
that is what is required.  They can of course have a void return or be a 
OneWay invocation.


The callback interface equally allows each method to be a full 
request/response or a OneWay.


There is no assumption made about the number or the timing of the 
invocations on the callback interface related to a given invocation on the 
call interface.  Indeed, SCA today has no metadata that captures these 
relationships (it has been suggested quite seriously that it might be 
possible to capture this metadata as an abstract BPEL process, but this 
has not been progressed as a formal addition to the Assembly 
specification).


So, the correct behaviour is for the call to be treated as a regular 
SOAP/HTTP interaction, completely independent from any callback 
interaction.


A given call may result in 0, 1 or many callback invocations.  A simple 
example might be a service for placing an order.  The "place order" 
operation may be request/response with the response acting as a "ack" that 
the order was received.  However, the "place order" may then be followed 
by callbacks like the following:


- "order accepted" - once credit checking and item availability checks are 
done
- "order dispatched" - once the order items have been packaged and 
dispatched to the shipper

Well 1) would be useful if the callback occurs outside of the context of


the original call or if the callback doesn't happen for a really long time,
i.e. long enough for connection timeouts. Downside, I guess, is to do the
