Issue 3726: Issue on Assemblies and descriptors (components-ftf) Source: Laboratoire d`Informatique Fondamentale de Lille (Mr. Raphael G. Marvie, nobody) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Looking a the <Assembly> interface, a question arises. When providing the assembly descriptor location, a logic description of the application to deploy is provided. But, how are set the pysical hosts to be used for the deployemnt of the logic configuration? No hooks is provided to the deployment tool (as there are no interfaces for the tool) in order to provide these information, and no operation is available on the assembly interface to do so. Is there an extension of the <Assembly> interface in order to contain this information? Otherwise, how could the application be deployed? Thinking about what should be provided, it is necessary to assign a logical name contained in the assembly descriptor to a physical host name. Maybe an extension to the assembly descriptor filled at deployment time is the solution? The second possible choice crossing my mind is an IDL structure (in fact sequence of structure) that could be provided to the assembly object. Resolution: rejected Revised Text: Actions taken: June 26, 2000: received issue May 13, 2002: closed issue Discussion: In the Component Assembly Descriptor XML DTD, the destination element should be used to fix the physical placement of homeplacement, executable placement, hostcollocation, or processcollocation elements (see section 69.7.2.18 page 69-309). To deploy a component assembly, a deployment tool must provide to an Assembly object a copy of the logical assembly descriptor where all destination elements are set with the expected physical placement (see the note in ptc/99-10-04 section 69.7.2.1 page 69-303).
