313
+ <p>Each package is described in a single file, named &#8220;package.yml&#8221;. (You can actually change what the descriptor file name ought to be&#8212;the default, though, is &#8220;package.yml&#8221;). It will typically contain all of the services defined in the same directory. In keeping with standard <span class="caps">YAML</span> syntax, this file should begin with a single line consisting solely of three dashes: <code>---</code>.</p>
314
+
315
+ <p>The file may contain the following attributes:</p>
316

318

319

320

322
+ <tr>
323
+ <td style="vertical-align:top;"><code>require</code></td>
324
+ <td>This is a list of other (non-core) packages that this package depends on. For example, to take advantage of any of the services in the &#8220;copland.lib&#8221; namespace, you would need to add &#8220;copland/lib&#8221; to the require list for the package that needs those services.</td>
325

326
+ <tr>
327
+ <td style="vertical-align:top;"><code>description</code></td>
328
+ <td>This is an (optional) description of the current package. It is useful for documentation purposes, but is not used at all by Copland itself.</td>
329
+ </tr>
330
+ <tr>
331
+ <td style="vertical-align:top;"><code>configuration-points</code></td>
332
+ <td>This must contain a hash of values, each key of which names and references the definition of a <em>configuration point</em> (q.v.).</td>
333
+ </tr>
334
+ <tr>
335
+ <td style="vertical-align:top;"><code>contributions</code></td>
336

337

344
+ <p>Of the attributes descibed above, only the <code>id</code> attribute is required, though it makes little sense to define a package that does not include at least one configuration point, contribution, or service point.</p>
345
+
346
+ <p>Also, if your package references any non-core packages (like &#8220;copland.lib&#8221; or &#8220;copland.remote&#8221;), you will need to add the requisite libraries to your package&#8217;s <code>require</code> clause.<br />

354
+ 5.2. Tips
355
+ </h2>
356
+
357
+
358
+
359
+ <div class="section">
360
+ <p>Name your packages consistently. Here is a recommended naming convention:</p>
361
+
362
+ <ul>
363
+ <li>Use dashes instead of underscores in your package names.</li>
364
+ <li>Make package names all lowercase.</li>
365
+ <li>Name your primary package after your application.</li>
366
+ <li>If your application uses more than one package (and large applications very well may), prefix each package name with the name of your application, followed by a dot. In other words, if your application was named &#8220;Astroscopus&#8221;, and you had a subpackage named &#8220;notewise&#8221;, you would name your primary package &#8220;astroscopus&#8221;, and the subpackage &#8220;astroscopus.notewise&#8221;. This gives your packages a hierarchical feel, though there is nothing saying they need to be laid out in a hierarchical directory structure.</li>
367
+ <li>If you are distributing a package that you created for others to use, name the package with your name or company (or website) as the primary package name, and your library as the secondary name. For instance, if your company was &#8220;Interrelated Autorotation, Inc.&#8221;, and you created a library called &#8220;papillomatosis&#8221;, you might name your package &#8220;interrelated-autorotation.papillomatosis&#8221;.</li>
368
+ </ul>
369
+
370
+ <p>Try to group the service points and configuration points in your packages by common functionality. Don&#8217;t be afraid to create new packages where necessary to separate functional groups. Although having many packages may make your application&#8217;s start-up time a little slower (and it will only be a little), it is worth the benefits to maintainance it will add.</p>

+ <p>A <em>service point</em> is a definition of a service. It describes how and when the service should be instantiated, what parameters should be passed to it when it is created and what properties assigned, what other services it should listen to, and so forth. You could say that a service point is to a service, as a class is to an object. That is to say, a service point is simply a template for how a service should be created.<br />

313
+ <p>Every service point must be defined as part of the &#8220;service-points&#8221; section of a package descriptor. The id (or name) of the service point will be the key used in that section to reference it, and it may contain any character you wish except for a &#8221;.&#8221;. Also, if you use any character that <span class="caps">YAML</span> treats specially (like commas, or colons), you&#8217;ll need to put the service name in quotes.</p>
314
+
315
+ <p>Whenever the name of a class is required (for a service, for instance), it must be in a particular format. The name of the class must be prefixed with the path that must be required (ie, the file that contains the class), followed by a forward slash (&#8221;/&#8221;), followed by the complete name of the class (including any modules that it is defined inside of).

(If the class includes the Singleton mixin, then the singleton instance will be returned; otherwise a new instance of the class will be created.) If this value is a map, then it may contain at the key <code>factory</code>. This must identify a <em>factory service</em> which will be used to create the new service. (If omitted, it defaults to <code>copland.BuilderFactory</code>.) In addition to the <code>factory</code> attribute, the hash should contain any other attributes required by the service factory that was specified.

The only required key in each hash is <code>service</code>, which names the interceptor factory service to use when instantiating the corresponding interceptor. The other allowed attributes are <code>before</code> and <code>after</code>, which may be used to define the order in which the interceptors are applied. Besides those two attributes, some interceptors may allow additional attributes to be specified in order to configure them. See the documentation for those interceptors for more information.</td>
