Making services and references available in a composite

When you have an SCA composite that contains a component whose implementation type is Composite, you can choose which services and references defined for the inner composite will be exposed on the outer component.

Before you begin

Before you can perform this task, you must first create a composite that contains a component whose implementation type is Composite.

About this task

To make a service or a reference available in a composite, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the Composite Editor, right-click the icon for a component whose type is Composite. A menu pops up.
  2. Select Refresh from implementation. A Refresh Component window appears.
  3. In the Refresh Component window, select which services and references defined for the inner composite you want to be exposed on the component implementation, and click OK.

What to do next

After you have done this, you can wire the exposed services and references from the selected component to other components within the outer composite.
