+ <h1>10. Service Factories</h1>
295
+
296
+
297
+
298
+ <div class="section">
299
+ <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&#8217;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 =&gt; point,
310
+ :parms =&gt; parms }
311
+ end
312
+
313
+ end
314
+ </pre>
315
+
316
+ <p>This service would be introduced into Copland via the following package descriptor:</p>
317
+
318
+ <pre>
319
+ ---
320
+ id: example
321
+
322
+ service-points:
323
+
324
+ ExampleServiceFactory:
325
+ implementor: some/file/ExampleServiceFactory
326
+ </pre>
327
+
328
+ <p>And it would be employed like this:</p>
329
+
330
+ <pre>
331
+ ---
332
+ id: demo
333
+
334
+ service-points:
335
+
336
+ ExampleService:
337
+ implementor:
338
+ factory: example.ExampleServiceFactory
339
+ </pre>
340
+
341
+ <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 />

352

353
+
354
+ <div class="section">
355
+ <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 />

364
+ </h2>
365
+
366
+
367
+
368
+ <div class="section">
369
+ <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&#8217;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 />

381

382
+
383
+
384
+ <div class="section">
385
+ <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&#8212;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 &#8220;dependency injection&#8221; aspect of Copland comes into play.<br />

313
+ <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

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.)

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&#8217;ll get an error.

464
+ <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>

+ definition:
476

483

484
