<p>Sometimes it requires a little more effort (or a lot more effort) to instantiate and initialize a service than simply calling <code>#new</code> on it’s associated class. In such cases, you need to rely on a <em>service factory</em> to instantiate the service.</p>
|
300
|
+
|
301
|
+
<p>A service factory is just a regular service as far as Copland is concerned. It is declared in the usual way. However, a service that will be used as a service factory must implement at least one method: <code>#create_instance</code>. This method should accept two parameters, the <em>service point</em> to instantiate, and the <em>parameters</em> associated with this instantiation. (The <code>parameters</code> parameter will always be a hash.)</p>
|
302
|
+
|
303
|
+
<p>Here is an example that implements a trivial service factory:</p>
|
304
|
+
|
305
|
+
<pre>
|
306
|
+
class ExampleServiceFactory
|
307
|
+
|
308
|
+
def create_instance( point, parms )
|
309
|
+
return { :point => point,
|
310
|
+
:parms => parms }
|
311
|
+
end
|
312
|
+
|
313
|
+
end
|
314
|
+
</pre>
|
315
|
+
|
316
|
+
<p>This service would be introduced into Copland via the following package descriptor:</p>
|

|
326
|
+
</pre>
|
327
|
+
|
328
|
+
<p>And it would be employed like this:</p>

factory: example.ExampleServiceFactory

<p>This service factory, when used to instantiate a service, would always return a new Hash object consisting of the service point and its parameters. Thus, the <code>ExampleService</code> service point would, when instantiated, always consist of a hash containing its own service point, and any parameters that were given when it was instantiated (none, in this case). Not a very useful service factory, but it demonstrates what it ought to do.<br />

<p>As mentioned in the chapter on service points, a service point may be associated with a <em>schema</em>. More will be said on schemas (and specifically, on their formats) in the next chapter, but suffice it to say here that the schema allows a service point to specify what parameters it accepts when invoked as a factory service.<br />

<p>When you specify a factory service as the implementor of another service, Copland automatically marks that service point as needing a <em>complex instantiator</em>. Thus, when it comes time to instantiate the service point, the parameters are collected, and if the factory has a schema, the parameters are validated against that schema. Then, the parameters are preprocessed (to translate values to their appropriate and expected types), and the factory’s <code>#create_instance</code> method is called. The result of that call is then treated as the new service.</p>
|
370
|
+
|
371
|
+
<p>Contrast this with the <em>simple instantiator</em>. When the simple instantiator is used, all it does (more or less) is invoke <code>#new</code> on the named class and return the result. The existence of factory services allows for much more complex (and powerful) behavior.<br />

<p>Copland comes with one predefined factory service: <code>copland.BuilderFactory</code>. With this factory you can implement most of the more common types of services. (There are always special cases, though—the <code>copland.lib</code>, <code>copland.remote</code> and <code>copland.webrick</code> libraries all define additional factory services for specialized uses.)</p>
|
386
|
+
|
387
|
+
<p>The BuilderFactory allows you to not only instantiate a class, but to specify constructor parameters and set properties on the new object. It also allows you to specify methods that should be invoked in order to initialize a service. It is by this means that the “dependency injection” aspect of Copland comes into play.<br />

<p>In <span class="caps">YAML</span> terminology, a schema is simply a map that follows a special format. Consider the following configuration point:</p>
|
314
|
+
|
315
|
+
<pre>
|
316
|
+
MyConfigurationPoint:
|
317
|
+
type: map
|
318
|
+
schema:
|
319
|
+
definition:
|
320
|
+
user.name:
|
321
|
+
type: string
|
322
|
+
required: true
|
323
|
+
home.directory:
|
324
|
+
type: string
|
325
|
+
user.groups:
|
326
|
+
type: array
|
327
|
+
</pre>
|
328
|
+
|
329
|
+
<p>This configuration point is a map that only allows three keys: <code>user.name</code>, <code>home.directory</code>, and <code>user.groups</code>. Any contribution made to this configuration point <em>must not</em> contain any keys other than these values. And since the <code>user.name</code> key is marked as required, any contribution to this configuration point <em>must</em> contain at least that key.</p>
|
330
|
+
|
331
|
+
<p>Note the type definitions as well. The recognized types are:</p>
|
332
|
+
|
333
|
+
<ul>
|
334
|
+
<li><code>any</code></li>
|
335
|
+
<li><code>array</code></li>
|
336
|
+
<li><code>configuration</code></li>
|
337
|
+
<li><code>integer</code></li>
|
338
|
+
<li><code>log</code></li>
|
339
|
+
<li><code>hash</code></li>
|
340
|
+
<li><code>real</code></li>
|
341
|
+
<li><code>service</code></li>
|
342
|
+
<li><code>string</code></li>
|
343
|
+
</ul>
|
344
|
+
|
345
|
+
<p>If the type is left out, it defaults to <code>any</code>. If a value is contributed to that key that is not of the required type, a validation error results.</p>
|
346
|
+
|
347
|
+
<p>Note that schemas may be applied to service points as well, in identical fashion to that of configuration points. (That is to say, they are introduced by the <code>schema</code> descriptor element.) In that case, the schema applies to the parameters of any service point that uses this service point as its factory service.</p>

<p>Schemas may be nested, to allow for arbitrarily deep schema “trees”. Consider the following example:</p>
|
361

362

<pre>
|
363

MyConfigurationPoint:

schema:

366

definition:
|
367
|
+
user.name:
|
368
|
+
type: string
|
369
|
+
required: true
|
370
|
+
home.directory:
|
371
|
+
type: string
|
372
|
+
user.groups:
|
373
|
+
type: array
|
374
|
+
user.address:
|
375
|
+
definition:
|
376
|
+
line1:
|
377
|
+
type: string
|
378
|
+
line2:
|
379
|
+
type: string
|
380
|
+
city:
|
381
|
+
type: string
|
382
|
+
state:
|
383
|
+
type: string
|
384
|
+
zip:
|
385
|
+
type: string
|
386
|
+
</pre>
|
387
|
+
|
388
|
+
<p>In this case, the <code>user.address</code> element of the schema is itself <em>another schema</em>. That is to say, any element that it matches must be a hash, which may be empty, but which may contain no keys other than those specified (<code>line1</code>, <code>line2</code>, <code>city</code>, <code>state</code>, and <code>zip</code>).</p>
|
389
|
+
|
390
|
+
<p>If you specify a subschema definintion (via the <code>definition</code> keyword), and the same element is of any type other than <code>hash</code> or <code>array</code>, you’ll get an error. You cannot used schema’s to validate any other type of data. (Arrays are a special case—see the next section.)</p>

11.4. Named vs. Anonymous Schemas

<p>The schemas that have been shown so far have been <em>anonymous</em>. This is fine for schemas that are very specific and have a very special purpose. However, sometimes, you want several configuration points of service points to have the same schema. To accomplish this, you need to give your schemas names.</p>
|
465
|
+
|
466
|
+
<p>Named schemas are owned by the package in which they are defined, but once named they may be used in any package (just like service points and configuration points).</p>
|
467
|
+
|
468
|
+
<p>To name a schema, just add a <code>name</code> element at the same level as the <code>definition</code> element:</p>

<pre>

476
|
+
...
|
477
|
+
</pre>
|
478
|
+
|
479
|
+
<p>Then, you can reuse the schema by putting the schema name after the <code>schema</code> element, instead of a hash:</p>

schema: MovieDefinition
|
485

</pre>
|
486
|

487

+
<p>This second configuration point will reuse the <code>MovieDefinition</code> schema. Note that you can specify an existing schema (or name a schema) at any level of a schema definition:</p>

<p>Sometimes it happens that you want to create a schema that is <em>almost</em> like an existing schema, but adds one or two new elements. You can do this in Copland by <em>extending</em> the existing schema:</p>

<p>The existing schema implementation is sufficient for most purposes, but it has some limitations:</p>
|
582
|
+
|
583
|
+
<ul>
|
584
|
+
<li>You cannot specify a format for a non-hash value.</li>
|
585
|
+
<li>You cannot specify whether a subschema that reuses an existing schema is required or not.</li>
|
586
|
+
<li>You cannot enforce the constraint “any one of a set of keys is required.” The schema subsystem only understands a single key being required or not.</li>

587

<p>For most purposes, however, it is sufficient.</p>
