+
+<P><EM>This page presents how to use the</EM> <EM>iPOJO</EM> <EM>runtime and its associated service component model. The concepts of the service component model are introduced, followed by a simple example that demonstrates the features of iPOJO.</EM></P>
+
+<H2><A name="iPOJOin10minutes-Introduction"></A>Introduction</H2>
+
+<P>iPOJO aims to simplify service-oriented programming on OSGi frameworks; the name iPOJO is an abbreviation for <EM>injected POJO</EM>. iPOJO provides a new way to develop OSGi service components with the main goal being to simplify service component implementation by transparently managing the dynamics of the environment as well as other non-functional requirements. The iPOJO framework allows developers to more clearly separate functional code (i.e., the POJO) from the non-functional code (i.e., dependency management, service provision, configuration, etc.). iPOJO combines the functional and non-functional aspects at run time. To achieve this, iPOJO provides a simple and extensible service component model based on POJOs.</P>
+
+<H2><A name="iPOJOin10minutes-ThePOJOconcept"></A>The POJO concept</H2>
+
+<P>POJO is an acronym for Plain Old Java Object, but it embodies a concept that the simpler and less intrusive the design of a given framework, the better. The name is used to emphasize that a given object is not somehow special, but is an ordinary Java Object. Martin Fowler, Rebecca Parsons and Josh Mackenzie coined the term POJO in September 2000: "We wondered why people were so against using regular objects in their systems and concluded that it was because simple objects lacked a fancy name. So we gave them one, and it's caught on very nicely." From the developer's perspective, the iPOJO framework strives to only require POJOs in as much as it is possible.</P>
+
+<H2><A name="iPOJOin10minutes-iPOJOservicecomponentoverview"></A>iPOJO service component overview</H2>
+
+<P>A service component is able to provide and/or require services, where a service is an object that implements a given service interface embodied as a Java interface. In addition, iPOJO introduces a callback concept to notify a component about various state changes.</P>
+
+<P>The component is the central concept in iPOJO. In the core iPOJO model, a component describes service dependencies, provided services, and callbacks; this information is recorded in the component's metadata. Then, the second important concept in iPOJO is component instances. A component instances is a special <EM>version</EM> of the component. By merging component metadata and instance configuration, the iPOJO runtime is able to manage the component, i.e., manage its life cycle, inject required services, publish provided services, discover needed services.</P>

+<H2><A name="iPOJOin10minutes-Asimpleexample"></A>A simple example</H2>
+
+<P>In this tutorial we will present how to:</P>
+<UL>
+ <LI>Publish an OSGi service</LI>
+ <LI>Require an OSGi service</LI>

+<H3><A name="iPOJOin10minutes-PresentationoftheSpellapplication"></A>Presentation of the <EM>Spell</EM> application</H3>
+
+<P>To illustrate iPOJO features, we will implement a very simple application. This application is composed by three components:</P>

+
+<P>This tutorial is based on Ant. So, you need to have the Ant program accessible in your path (see <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://ant.apache.org/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">here<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/linkext7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN> to download and install Ant). Download the tutorial archive available <SPAN class="nobr"><A href="http://felix.apache.org/site/ipojo-in-10-minutes.data/tutorial.zip" title="tutorial.zip attached to iPOJO in 10 minutes">here<SUP><IMG class="rendericon" src="http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/images/icons/link_attachment_7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></SUP></A></SPAN> and then unzip it. The archive is composed by seven directories:</P>
+<UL>
+ <LI>spell.services contains service interfaces used by the applications</LI>
+ <LI>spell.english contains an implementation of the Dictionary service (containing English words)</LI>
+ <LI>spell.checker contains an implementation of a Spell Checker. The spell checker requires a dictionary service and check if an input passage is correct (according to the words contained in the dictionary).</LI>
+ <LI>spell.gui contains a very simple user interface. This component uses a spell checker service. Then the user can interact with the spell checker with this user interface.</LI>
+ <LI>The task directory contains Ant tasks used to build the project</LI>
+ <LI>The solution directory contains an already developed version of the application.</LI>
+ <LI>Finally, the felix folder contains a configured version of the Felix runtime</LI>

+<P>This file describes the Dictionary service implementation. First it creates a <EM>component</EM>. This component has a <EM>classname</EM>attribute containing the implementation class name. The <EM>'provides'</EM> element indicates that the component provide a service. Provided service interfaces are computed by iPOJO, so it is not necessary to indicate them. The <EM>instance</EM> element asks iPOJO to create an instance of the described component when the bundle starts. The relation between components and instances is the same than between classes and objects in the object oriented programming. The <EM>component</EM> attribute indicates which component needs to be instantiated. By default, component type name is the implementation class (i.e. the classname attribute).</P>

+<P>This class implements the SpellChecker service interface as it will provide it. Moreover, it has a <EM>special</EM> field "_m_dictionary_". This field represents the required service. iPOJO will inject a Dictionary service when needed. So, the class can use it directly. Notice that this class as no OSGi specific code, both the service providing and the requiring are managed by iPOJO. If the used dictionary service leaves, iPOJO will try to find another provider. If no more providers are available, the instance is invalidated, and the provided service is withdrawn from the service registry.</P>

+<P>Look at the three last methods. The <EM>check</EM> methods collect the user input and use a <EM>Check speller</EM> service to check this input. This method is called when the button is pressed by the user. The <EM>start</EM> and <EM>stop</EM> methods are lifecycle callbacks. As we need to display the user interface when the instance is created and to delete it when the instance stops, we need a way to be notified when we need to execute these actions. iPOJO provide an easy way to do this. The component provides two callback methods for its activation and deactivation, start and stop, respectively. Callbacks are used when the component needs to be informed about a component state change. In iPOJO, the component state is either <B>INVALID</B> (i.e., not all of the component's constraints are satisfied) or <B>VALID</B> (i.e., all of the component's constraints are satisfied). In this example, the start callback method set the GUI visibility to true; the stop callback method deletes the GUI. The component metadata will instruct iPOJO to invoke these methods when the component's state changes to <B>VALID</B> or <B>INVALID</B> respectively.</P>
+
+<P>Create the <EM>metadata.xml</EM> file in the spell.chercker.gui directory with the following content:</P>
+<DIV class="code"><DIV class="codeContent">
+<PRE class="code-xml"><SPAN class="code-tag"><ipojo></SPAN>
+<SPAN class="code-tag"><component classname=<SPAN class="code-quote">"spell.gui.SpellCheckerGui"</SPAN>></SPAN>
+ <SPAN class="code-tag"><requires field=<SPAN class="code-quote">"m_checker"</SPAN>/></SPAN>
+ <SPAN class="code-tag"><callback transition=<SPAN class="code-quote">"validate"</SPAN> method=<SPAN class="code-quote">"start"</SPAN>/></SPAN>
+ <SPAN class="code-tag"><callback transition=<SPAN class="code-quote">"invalidate"</SPAN> method=<SPAN class="code-quote">"stop"</SPAN>/></SPAN>
+<SPAN class="code-tag"></component></SPAN>
+<SPAN class="code-tag"><instance component=<SPAN class="code-quote">"spell.gui.SpellCheckerGui"</SPAN>/></SPAN>
+<SPAN class="code-tag"></ipojo></SPAN></PRE>
+</DIV></DIV>
+<P>The component element again has the '<EM>classname'</EM> attribute that refers to the component implementation class. The '<EM>requires</EM>' element describes the <EM>Check Speller</EM> service dependency by simply specifying its associated component field. The '<EM>callback'</EM> elements describe which method to invoke when the component's state changes. Then the <EM>'instance'</EM> element asks iPOJO to create an instance of the component.</P>
+
+<P>Once this file is created, you can compile the project by launching <EM>ant</EM> in the spell.checker.gui directory.</P>

+<P>When starting the GUI bundle, the user interface appears. Indeed, the <EM>Check Speller</EM> service is provided. You can interact with this service by entering a passage and clicking on the check button:<BR>
+<IMG src="http://felix.apache.org/site/ipojo-in-10-minutes.data/ss.png" align="absmiddle" border="0"><BR>
+Then, stop the <EM>Dictionary</EM>service provider (with the <EM>stop 6</EM>) command. The GUI disappears. Indeed, Spell Checker service cannot be provided as it depends on the Dictionary service.<BR>
+<IMG src="http://felix.apache.org/site/ipojo-in-10-minutes.data/spell2.png" align="absmiddle" border="0"><BR>
+Then, restart the Dictionary service provider with the <EM>start 6</EM> command. The GUI reappears immediately. You can try to stop the <EM>check speller</EM> service provider without stopping the <EM>dictionary</EM> service provider with the <EM>stop 7</EM> command. As for the last manipulation, the GUI disappears.<BR>
