Service Component Architecture (SCA)


SOA principles are abstract and independent of implementation technologies. SCA helps to define SOA constructs for the design of implementations without resorting to technology specifics.

Concepts:
  • Assembly Model - SCA artifacts defined by elements contained in XML files
  • Composite - deployment unit that holds services which can be accessed remotely, a collection of Components
  • Component - a specific business function provided by a module
  • Entry Point - make services available outside the Component
  • Reference - a dependency upon a service by a Component
  • External Service - Reference to a service outside of the module
  • Wires - linkages between References and Service
  • Implementation - the code that implements business functions
  • Subsystems - used to group Composites into the SCA system
  • Module Components - configured instances of modules contained within a Subsystem
  • Policy Framework - addresses QoS and nonfunctional requirements
