SCA composite component settings
Use this page to view and edit the attributes associated with a Service Component Architecture (SCA) component. To view this console page, click Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > deployed_asset_name > SCA_composite_component_name.
Components are configured instances of implementations. Components provide and consume services. More than one component can use and configure the same implementation, where each component configures the implementation differently. For example each component might configure a reference of the same implementation to consume a different service.
An implementation defines the aspects configurable by a component in the form of a component type. The component type is in effect a description of the contract honored by the implementation.
A reference represents a requirement that the implementation has on a service provided by another component.
Component name
Component name of the attribute.
Implementation
Name of the class or configuration file containing the component implementation.
For implementation.java, the Java class is shown. For other implementations, the name of the resource identified by the implementation is shown:
- For implementation.jee, the archive name is shown.
- For implementation.spring, the application context file is shown.
- For implementation.osgiapp, the application symbolic name and version is shown.
Type
Type of attribute. In this case, the type is Component.
SCA component services
Names of the services.
SCA component references
Names and targets of component references. We can edit the reference target for customization.
SCA component properties
Specifies the Property Input Source and Property Value for each property.
The Property Input Source attribute includes the following options:
- XPath indicates the source attribute of the property.
