This user guide will help you become familiar with SCA concepts and walks you through an example that demonstrates how to build an SCA application. It also describes the different environments that Tuscany supports (such as command line clients or web applications) and how to package up applications to run in these environments.
*There's nothing to it really!* Building SCA applications is easy. One of the main goals of Tuscany and SCA is to avoid imposing rules and requirements on how people write applications. We want to let people write application code the way they want without being concerned about the environment in which it will be used. After all, writing code to handle plumbing just gets in the way of writing the interesting stuff. So basically, you write the code for interesting bits, and Tuscany provides the environment that lets it run. Therefore, this guide is just an example of how an SCA application can be developed and is not a rule.

The [*quick guide to SCA*|Quick Guide To SCA] gives you an overview of SCA concepts and prepares you to work on the example below. You can skip this step if you are already familiar with SCA.
For more details on SCA please refer to the specifications at [Open SOA web site|http://www.osoa.org].
h2. {anchor:Getting Tuscany SCA Java}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Getting Started with Tuscany SCA Java{bgcolor}

h2. {anchor:SCA Contributions and Composites}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}SCA Contributions and Composites{bgcolor}
You will have seen from working with the calculator sample ([Getting Started with Tuscany using a Tuscany Distribution from the Command Line|Getting Started with Tuscany ( using the Command Line)]) that an assembly of SCA components is described in a composite file, for example,
{code}
<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"
targetNamespace="http://sample"
xmlns:sample="http://sample"
name="Calculator">
<component name="CalculatorServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.CalculatorServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="addService" target="AddServiceComponent" />
<reference name="subtractService" target="SubtractServiceComponent" />
<reference name="multiplyService" target="MultiplyServiceComponent" />
<reference name="divideService" target="DivideServiceComponent" />
</component>
<component name="AddServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.AddServiceImpl"/>
</component>
<component name="SubtractServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.SubtractServiceImpl"/>
</component>
<component name="MultiplyServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.MultiplyServiceImpl"/>
</component>
<component name="DivideServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.DivideServiceImpl"/>
</component>
</composite>
{code}
The composite describes how SCA components are implemented and how they are assembled by wiring references to targets. This composite file has some dependencies, in this case the Java class and interface files that are used to implement the SCA components that it defines. The collection of composite files and other artifacts that are required to run an SCA application are collected together into one or more SCA contributions. A contribution can be a simple as a directory in a file system or could be packaged in, for example, a Jar file. SCA does not mandate any particular packing scheme. For our calculator sample you can imagine the contribution holding the calculator composite and all of its dependencies.
!calculator1.png|align=centre!
In fact if you look inside the jar file that the calculator sample produces, you will find the following
{code}
calculator/AddService.class
calculator/AddServiceImpl.class
calculator/CalculatorClient.class
calculator/CalculatorService.class
calculator/CalculatorServiceImpl.class
calculator/DivideService.class
calculator/DivideServiceImpl.class
calculator/MultiplyService.class
calculator/MultiplyServiceImpl.class
calculator/SubtractService.class
calculator/SubtractServiceImpl.class
Calculator.composite
{code}
Which are all the artifacts that are required to run the calculator sample. We just need to add this contribution to the Tuscany SCA java runtime and then call the services that will be enabled.
h2. {anchor:Tuscany SCA Node}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Tuscany SCA Node{bgcolor}
In order to run an SCA application Tuscany SCA Java provides a runtime that is wrapped up in a Node. The runtime itself is made up of many of the modules that are present in the modules directory of the Tuscany SCA Java distribution. As you might expect there are functions that read XML, create an in memory mode model of the SCA assembly, create the components and wire them together ready to process incoming messages. All of these functions are wrapped up in a Node. A node is configured using SCA contributions and will run a single composite. When running standalone the node also defines the scope of component services that references can target by name. SCA defined the term Domain to describe this scope.

h2. {anchor:Tuscany SCA Domain }{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Tuscany SCA Domain {bgcolor}
You will have seen from the previous example walkthrough, and from the SCA overview, that SCA has the concept of a domain. Section 10 of the SCA Assembly specification describes an SCA Domain as defining "the boundary of visibility for all SCA mechanisms". SCA wires can be used to connect components within a single SCA Domain.
From the previous calculator sample you can see that the wires between the component references and services, formed by adding a target component name to a reference, are resolved inside an SCA domain.
{code}
<component name="CalculatorServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.CalculatorServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="addService" target="AddServiceComponent" />
<reference name="subtractService" target="SubtractServiceComponent" />
<reference name="multiplyService" target="MultiplyServiceComponent" />
<reference name="divideService" target="DivideServiceComponent" />
</component>
<component name="AddServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.AddServiceImpl"/>
</component>
{code}
To connect to services outside of the SCA Domain (whether they be services provided by SCA or by other means) you configure an explicit binding, for example, lets assume that the AddServiceComponent is a non-sca web service out there on the network somewhere. As this is outside the SCA domain we can use an explicit remote binding to talk to it.
{code}
<component name="CalculatorServiceComponent">
<implementation.java class="calculator.CalculatorServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="addService" >
<interface.java interface="calculator.AddService" />
<binding.ws uri="http://localhost:8080/sample-calculator-ws-webapp/AddServiceComponent"/>
</reference>
<reference name="subtractService" target="SubtractServiceComponent"></reference>
<reference name="multiplyService" target="MultiplyServiceComponent"></reference>
<reference name="divideService" target="DivideServiceComponent"></reference>
</component>
{code}
Tuscany SCA supports running an SCA Domain in a single JVM or spread across multiple JVMs, potentially on different machines.
!distributed-abstract.png|align=centre!
Tuscany doesn't provide a single Java program that is the domain or the node. If you look at the samples provided with Tuscany you will see them using the SCA Domain interfaces in various different ways. Follow the links for instructions for using the [Standalone SCA Domain] and the [Distributed SCA Domain] interfaces.
h2. {anchor:Tuscany SCA Extensions}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Tuscany SCA Extensions{bgcolor}
h3. {anchor:The Extensible Runtime}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}The Extensible Runtime{bgcolor}
The Tuscany SCA runtime comprises a small set of core software which deals with:
* Managing extesions to the Tuscany SCA Runtime(_core_)
* Building and in memory assembly model of SCA applications (_assembly_)
* Processing SCA applcations that are contributed (_contribution_)
* Supporting databindings (_databinding_)
* Supporting Tuscany SCA when its embedded in other environments (_embedded_)
* Supporting Tuscany SCA when its running in a servlet container (_http_)
The collections of interfaces that describe these features are referred to as the System Programming Interface (SPI). The [developer guide|SCA Java Developer Guide] discusses them in more detail but from a user perspective the important thing to realize is that the majority of interesting functionality in Tuscany SCA is provided by extensions which build upon this core SPI. These extensions provide Tuscany SCA with its ability to support a wide variety features.
* Implementation types
* Binding types
* Databinding types
* Interface description styles
* Hosting environments
So to understand how to use the Tuscany SCA runtime is to understand how to use its extensions.

More often than not using an extension involves adding information to the SCDL files or the implementation files but this is not always the case. The links below describe each of the extensions and how they can be used and configured.

h3. {anchor:Using Extensions}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Using Extensions{bgcolor}
Extensions are loaded into the Tuscany SCA runtime using the Java service loading mechanism. Each extension is packaged as a jar and provides a file;
{code}
META-INF/services/org.apache.tuscany.sca.core.ModuleActivator
{code}
Using this information the Tuscany SCA runtime will load each extensions present on the the Java CLASSPATH. So if you want to use a particular feature make sure that it's available on your classpath. Conversely if you don't want a particular feature to be active remove it from the classpath.
Writing a new extension is a subject in its own right and is described in the [extension guide|SCA Java Extension Development Guide]

h3. {anchor:Using The Samples In An IDE Without Maven}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Using The Samples In An IDE Without Maven{bgcolor}
We don't provide any IDE project files with our disitributions so you will have to import the sample files into your IDE manually. Here's an example of how it can be done using Eclipse. Here the directory tuscany_sca_install_dir is the directory whch holds the Tuscany SCA Java binary installation after it's been extracted from its archive file, for example, for the 0.90 release this will be tuscany-sca-0.90-incubating.
In a new or existing workspace
* Create a new java project to represent the sample you want to work on, e.g.
{noformat}
my working dir/calculator
{noformat}
* Import all of the sample code and resources into this project, e.g.
{noformat}
Use the File,Import menu and then select tuscany_sca_install_dir/samples/calculator from the filesystem
{noformat}
* Configure the source path to include
{noformat}
tuscany_sca_install_dir/samples/calculator/src/main/java
tuscany_sca_install_dir/samples/calculator/src/main/resources
{noformat}
* Configure the output folder to be
{noformat}
tuscany_sca_install_dir/samples/calculator/target
{noformat}
* Configure the build path to include all of the jars provided in
{noformat}
tuscany_sca_install_dir/lib
{noformat}
* If you select calculator.CalculatorClient.java and run as "Java Application" you should see
{noformat}
3 + 2=5.0
3 - 2=1.0
3 * 2=6.0
3 / 2=1.5
{noformat}
The details of how to do this for other development environments will vary but the process will be similar.
h3. {anchor:Using The Samples In An IDE If You Have Maven}{bgcolor:#C3CDA1}Using The Samples In An IDE If You Have Maven{bgcolor}
If you are a Maven user you can use it to generate all of the IDE project files for you automatically. This works best if you generate IDE projects for all of the Apache Tuscany modules. You can then include the ones you are interested in working with in you IDE.
To build IDE project files for all of the modules in Apache Tuscany SCA;
{noformat}
cd sca
{noformat}
If you are an Eclipse user do the following
{noformat}
mvn -Peclipse eclipse:eclipse
{noformat}
If you are an IDEA user do the following
{noformat}
mvn idea:idea
{noformat}
These commands generate project files for each module in Apache Tuscany SCA. The modules you are interested in can now be included in your IDE, for example, in Eclipse, if you create a new Java project and use the option to "create a new project from existing source" you can specify an SCA module directory, which includes the generated project files, and Eclipse will treat it like any other Java project.

| About Tuscany User Guide |
It is assumed that by now you have browsed through the introduction to SCA section or are familiar with SCA. This user guide helps you learn more about SCA through Tuscany. It starts with building a simple application and progresses into more advanced features through references to samples that reside in Tuscany.
Before we start, let's emphasise that it is Tuscany's goal to provide an implementaiton that avoids imposing rules and requirements on how you write your applications. In fact the goal is to let you write application code without being concerned about the technology you choose or the environment in which it will be used. You focus on your business logic and Tuscany infrastructure will handle the rest.

Now that you have created a simple calculator application, let's move on to a more interesting application called store. This application is developed in Eclipse enviromment and uses more advanced features that are offered in Tuscany. You will notice that it is as simple to create this application as it was to create the calculator application.

| Using Extensions |
What are extensions? Well, we call these extensions: bindings, implementation types, interface types, policies. Think of SCA Java infrastructure as providing the framework that supports all these pluggable functionality. Bindings provide protocol handling, implementation types provide support for different languages and programming models, interface types allow enable you to define interfaces in different ways for example Java, WSDL and policies enable you to choose which type of policies you want to apply to your application. You can pick and choose what you need based on your requirements and the technologies that you use. For a complete list of available extensions and their documentation please check this link.

| Do I need all of Tuscany? |
Tuscany SCA has a very modular architecture. Think of it as building blocks. You pick what you need for your particular application. In 1.x, there is one binary distribution. you can get to a smaller subset through building the source with the appropriate modules that you need. In 2.x code line, we are aiming to provide smaller distributions. For more information about how you can build a smaller distribution please see this link
