31<p>Architecture introspection is required when the system doesn't work
32as expected. In this case, having a quick access to instances states
33and interconnection is a stringent requirement. The <tt>arch</tt> command allows getting these data from the Felix Shell and from the Equinox shell.</p>
34
35<h2><a name="iPOJO-Arch-Command-Download"></a>Download</h2>
36<p>The Felix command is available from the <a href="http://felix.apache.org/site/download.html" title="Download">download</a> page and in the <tt>arch</tt> folder of the iPOJO trunk <span class="nobr"><a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/felix/trunk/ipojo/arch" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/ipojo/arch/<sup><img class="rendericon" src="ipojo-arch-command_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span>.<br>
37The Equinox command sources are available <span class="nobr"><a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/felix/sandbox/clement/ipojo-utils/arch-equinox/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/sandbox/clement/ipojo-utils/arch-equinox/<sup><img class="rendericon" src="ipojo-arch-command_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span>. To compile sources, just launch the <tt>mvn clean install</tt>.</p>

39<h2><a name="iPOJO-Arch-Command-Usage"></a>Usage</h2>
40<p>Once you get the bundle, just install and start it in the OSGi Framework shell:</p>

45<pre class="code-none">install file:/BUNDLE_URL.jar
46Bundle X installed
47start X</pre>
48</div></div>
49<p>Then, you can use it to introspect the system by launching the <tt>arch</tt> command.</p>
50<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">

79<p>Instance architecture is organized as follows:<br>
80On the first line, are displayed the component type (i.e. factory), the instance state (<tt>valid</tt> or <tt>invalid</tt>), the bundle from which the instance is created, and the instance name.<br>
81Then, the information is organized handler by handler (a piece of
82container). For each handler plugged on the instance can participate to
83the instance architecture. For each handler its name (such as {{
84org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.dependency.DependencyHandler}} for
85iPOJO service dependencies, {{
86org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.providedservice.ProvidedServiceHandler}}
87for iPOJO service providing...) and the state (either <tt>valid</tt> or <tt>invalid</tt> are displayed. Remember that an instance is valid only and only if all plugged handlers are valid. <br>
88The <tt>org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.dependency.DependencyHandler</tt>
89provides data on service dependencies and more precisely on the state
90of service dependencies. In the previous example, the dependency on {{
91spell.services.DictionaryService}} was resolved. On the following
92example, the same dependency is no more resolved:</p>
93<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">

102</div></div>
103<p>Notes that, the instance also becomes invalid and that the provided service is unregistered.<br>
104If the provider comes back, the dependency becomes <tt>resolved</tt> and the instance becomes <tt>valid</tt><br>
105If an instance begins to use a service, the bound providers are described in the instance architecture:</p>
106<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">

118</div></div>
119<p>In the previous case, the dependency on {{
120spell.services.DictionaryService}} use the service 41 from the iPOJO
121instance named {{ spell.english.EnglishDictionary-0}}<br>
122You can also check created POJO objects (implementation class objet). Here, only one object was created (<tt>spell.checker.SpellCheck@e222eb</tt>).</p>
123<h2><a name="iPOJO-Arch-Command-Listavailablefactories"></a>List available factories</h2>
124<p>To list available factories (i.e. component types), launch the <tt>arch -factories</tt> command:</p>
125<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
126<pre class="code-java">-&gt; arch -factories
127Factory spell.checker.SpellCheck (VALID)
128Factory spell.gui.SpellCheckerGui (VALID)
129Factory spell.english.EnglishDictionary (VALID)</pre>
130</div></div>
131<p>For each available (public) factories,the name and the sate are
132displayed. A factory is valid if and only if all required handlers are
133available. To get more information on a factory launch the <tt>arch -factory factory_name</tt> command:</p>
134<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
135<pre class="code-java">factory implementation-class=<span class="code-quote">"spell.english.EnglishDictionary"</span> state=<span class="code-quote">"valid"</span> bundle=<span class="code-quote">"7"</span> name=<span class="code-quote">"spell.english.EnglishDictionary"</span>

138 requiredhandlers list=<span class="code-quote">"[org.apache.felix.ipojo:provides, org.apache.felix.ipojo:architecture]"</span></pre>
139</div></div>
140<p>On the first line, you get the implementation class of the type, the
141state of the factory, the bundle declaring the type and the name of the
142type. Then you get the list of required and missing handlers.</p>
143<h2><a name="iPOJO-Arch-Command-Listavailablehandlers"></a>List available handlers</h2>
144<p>You can also list available handlers with the <tt>arch -handlers</tt> command.</p>
