General Approach To URI Construction in the SCA Domain

// Determine default URL
if ( web app container) 
  Default URL = web app base URL
else if (Node URI provided)
  Default URL = Node URI
else 
  Default URL = look up free port for current host
endif

// Determine service binding URL
if (Binding URI = Absolute)
  if ( web app container)
    Final Binding URI = Default URL + path from Binding URI 
  else
    Final Binding URI = Binding URI
  endif
else if ( binding URI = Relative )
  Final Binding URI = Default URL + Binding URI
else 
  Final Binding URI = Default URL + Component Name [ + ServiceName]
endif

Hierarchical URI Construction - Assembly Spec Section 1.7.2

Base System URI for Schema / Component URI / Service Binding URI

Base System URI for Schema

Null - if not specified at all the Component/Binding URIs must be absolute
Generated by the runtime based on free ports - useful in the standalone case

Defined on a node by node basis

    <component name="NodeA">
        <t:implementation.node composite="store:store"/>
        <service name="Default">
            <binding.sca uri="http://myhost1:8080"/>
            <binding.ws uri="http://myhost1:8080"/>
            <binding.ws uri="https://myhost1:443"/>
        </service>
    </component>

Defined at the domain level - would seem to be a virtualization strategy. Tuscany doesn't do this yet

Component URI

Null - if the service is at the domain level
Name of component
```
<component name="ComponentName">
```
Specified URI value
```
<component uri="ComponentURI">
```

Service Binding URI

Null - if only one service is specified
Name of binding if no binding URI provided. If more than one binding relies on this for a service then need to make these names unique
```
<binding.ws name="BindingName"/>
```
Relative URI
```
<binding.ws uri="BindingRelativeURI"/>
```

AbsoluteURI -

<binding.ws uri="http://MyHost:8080/BindingAbsoluteURI"/>

binding.ws Specific Rules

The following is work in progress and still under construction.

// Web Service binding spec rules

1a. (mutually exclusive with 1b) @wsdlElement specifying wsdl.port, wsdl.service, or wsdl.endpoint

1b. (mutually exclusive with 1a) wsa:EndpointReference and @wsdlElement specifying wsdl.binding

2. @uri value (together with any relative URI from 1a or 1b)

3. implicit URI as defined by Assembly spec (together with any relative URI from 2)


// pseudo-code spec for above

if (@wsdlElement specifies wsdl.port, wsdl.service, or wsdl.endpoint)
    if (wsa:EndpointReference specified)
        raise invalid definition error
    else
        if (WSDL endpoint is absolute)
            use WSDL endpoint
        else // WSDL endpoint is relative 
            if (@uri specified)
                if (@uri is absolute)
                    use WSDL endpoint relative to @uri
                else // @uri is relative
                    use WSDL endpoint relative to @uri relative to implicit URI
            else        
                use WSDL endpoint relative to implicit URI
else 
    if (wsa:EndpointReference specified)
        if (wsa:EndpointReference has absolute address)
            use wsa:EndpointReference metadata and address
        else if (wsa:EndpointReference has relative address)
            if (@uri specified)
                if (@uri is absolute)
                    use wsa:EndpointReference metadata and address relative to @uri
                else // @uri is relative
                    use wsa:EndpointReference ametadata and address relative to @uri relative to implicit URI
            else        
                use wsa:EndpointReference metadata and address relative to implicit URI
        else // wsa:EndpointReference has null address
            if (@uri specified)
                if (@uri is absolute)
                    use wsa:EndpointReference metadata with @uri
                else // @uri is relative
                    use wsa:EndpointReference metadata with @uri relative to implicit URI
            else        
                use wsa:EndpointReference metadata with implicit URI
    else // wsa:EndpointReference not specified
        if (@uri specified)
            if (@uri is absolute)
                use @uri
            else // @uri is relative
                use @uri relative to implicit URI
        else        
            use implicit URI


// pseudo-code algorithm for above

if (@wsdlElement specifies wsdl.port, wsdl.service, or wsdl.endpoint)
    if (wsa:EndpointReference specified)
        raise invalid definition error
    else
        uri = WSDL endpoint
        wsaMetadata = null
else 
    if (wsa:EndpointReference specified)
        uri = wsa:EndpointReference address
        wsaMetadata = wsa:EndpointReference metadata
    else
        uri = empty string
        wsaMetadata = null
if (uri is relative || uri is empty)
    if (@uri specified)
        uri = @uri + uri
if (uri is relative || uri is empty)
    uri = implicitURI + uri


// observations on the current code

1. When the <binding.ws> element contains a wsa:EndpointReference,
   WebServiceBindingProcessor reports an error if
   wsdlElement/wsdl.binding is used.  It should report an error if
   wsdlElement/wsdl.{port,service,endpoint} is used.
2. When computing the actual URI for a service, the computeActualURI()
   method in Axis2ServiceProvider doesn't handle wsa:EndpointReference
   correctly.  The address is always taken as an absolute URI.  The
   spec allows it to be a relative URI or a null string.
4. The getWSATOEPR() method gives explicit URIs priority over WSDL port
   definitions.  It should be the other way round.
5. Service callback binding URI specifications (e.g., port assignments)
   are ignored, because of the code in JDKCallbackInvocationHandler
   that sets the URI into the wire's binding and overwites any
   statically configured URI that is already there.  I don't know
   which of these URIs should take priority.
