DataBinding Echo Sample
=======================
This sample demonstrates how databindings are used to convert data formats as
the data flows between components.
The README in the samples directory (the directory above this) provides
general instructions about building and running samples. Take a look there
first.
If you just want to run it to see what happens, open a command prompt, navigate
to this sample directory, and do
ant run
OR if you don't have ant, on Windows do
java -cp ..\..\lib\tuscany-sca-manifest.jar;..\binding-echo-extension\target\sample-binding-echo-extension.jar;target\sample-databinding-echo.jar dbecho.EchoDataBindingClient
and on *nix do
java -cp ../../lib/tuscany-sca-manifest.jar:../binding-echo-extension/target/sample-binding-echo-extension.jar:target/sample-databinding-echo.jar dbecho.EchoDataBindingClient
Sample Overview
---------------
If reference and service interfaces are the same in all but the formats of
data being passed to and returned from the operations of the interfaces,
then SCA will try to apply appropriate transformations to the data formats
to allow messages to pass.
This sample shows this happening. ComponentA implements Interface1 which
defines;
String call(String msg)
String call1(String msg)
ComponentA defines a reference to ComponentB with Interface1. ComponentB
however implements Interface2 which defines;
Node call(Node msg);
XMLStreamReader call1(XMLStreamReader msg);
You can see from the test output below that SCA converts the call() msg from a
String to a DOM object (org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl). It
converts the call1() msg from a String to a XML stream reader
(com.ctc.wstx.sr.ValidatingStreamReader).

Building And Running The Sample Using Ant
-----------------------------------------
With the binary distribution the sample can be built and run using Ant as
follows.
cd databinding-echo
ant compile
ant run
You should see the following output from the run target.
run:
[java] [Property] prefix: ABC
[java] [Property] prefix1: ABC
[java] [Property] bar: BAR
[java] ComponentA --> Received message: 123 [java.lang.String]
[java] ComponentB --> Received message: [#document: null] [org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl]

[java] ComponentA --> Returned message: 123 [java.lang.String]
[java] call response = 123
[java] call1 response = 123
Building And Running The Sample Using Maven
-------------------------------------------
With either the binary or source distributions the sample can be built and run
using Maven as follows.
cd databinding-echo
mvn
You should see the following output from the test phase.
