h1. Introduction

The following diagrams aim to describe the composition of the Fractal components of Petals ESB.

By naming convention, if not specified, the default name of the interface 'server' is "{{service}}".
To have readable diagrams, some interface links are not drawn:
* the links between the interfaces "{{server}}" of a composite and the interfaces "{{server}}" of its internal components,
* the links between the interfaces "{{client}}" of internal components of a composite and the interfaces "{{client}}" of the composite.
Into a composition, only links between internal components are drawn.

{tip}
The following diagrams, except the legend, are exported as JPEG image from the slides contained in [Fractal-Diagrams.odp]. The export is done with following parameters:
* width: 27.99 cm,
* height: 21.01 cm,
* resolution: 37 pixel/cm
* color: 24bits,
* quality: 100%

The legend is included in the Open Office Presentation but exported using a screeen shot resized with Gimp.

{anchor:composite_startup}
h2. Composite startup

The sub-components of a Fractal composite are started sequentially, so you *MUST* declare the sub-component in the right order in the Fractal ADL.

Explications de Philippe MERLE:
Par défaut, Fractal a un algo de démarrage des composants assez basique, i.e., séquentiellement.
Tout peut être raffiné dans Fractal donc on pourrait imaginer un type de composite qui analyse les bindings entre ses sous-composants et en déduisent un ordre de démarrage non bloquant. et si il y a un cycle alors ce composite crée des threads.
Facile à écrire dans un mail. Un peu plus difficile à implanter efficacement.
Après c'est une balance entre implanter un mécanisme rarement utile ou bien appliquer un codage pour ces cas particuliers (ordre dans le composite ou bien policy=Policy.ASYNCHRONOUS)
Comme nous avons rencontré ce cas de figure que très rarement sur les 10 dernières années alors nous n'avons jamais fait l'effort d'implanter un algo de démarrage + intelligent.

h1. Diagrams

Each Fractal diagram is drawn using the following legend:

h2. System Composite

!system.jpg|align=center!

h2. Container Composite

A component {{SharedLibraryLifeCycleImpl}} is instantiated each time a JBI shared library is installed into the JBI container. It is dynamically created.
A component {{ComponentLifeCycleImpl}} and {{Installer}} is instantiated each time a JBI component is installed into the JBI container. It is dynamically created.
A component {{ServiceAssemblyLifeCycleImpl}} is instantiated each time a JBI service assembly is deployed into the JBI container. It is dynamically created.

h2. PreExtensionsManager composite

Each pre-extension is instantiated dynamically before internal components when Petals ESB is started according to the content of the Petals ESB classloader.

Each post-extension is instantiated dynamically after internal components y when Petals ESB is started according to the content of the Petals ESB classloader.

*Symptoms*:

The startup of Petals blocks into the startup of the Fractal composite into the thread "main" with a similar thread dump:

*Solution*:
Update the ADL of the Fractal composite to [set the sub-components in the right order|#composite_startup].
