44 * Abstraction of the intermediate layers in the processing chain
45 * and transport.
46 *
47 * <h2>What is a {@link Tube}?</h2>
48 * <p>
49 * {@link Tube} is a basic processing unit that represents SOAP-level
50 * protocol handling code. Mutliple tubes are often put together in
51 * a line (it needs not one dimensional &mdash; more later), and act on
52 * {@link Packet}s in a sequential fashion.
53 *
54 * <p>
55 * {@link Tube}s run asynchronously. That is, there is no guarantee that
56 * {@link #processRequest(Packet)} and {@link #processResponse(Packet)} runs
57 * in the same thread, nor is there any guarantee that this tube and next
58 * tube runs in the same thread. Furthermore, one thread may be used to
59 * run multiple pipeline in turn (just like a real CPU runs multiple
60 * threads in turn.)
61 *
62 *
63 * <h2>Tube examples</h2>
64 * <p>
65 * Transport is a kind of tube. It sends the {@link Packet}
66 * through, say, HTTP connection, and receives the data back into another {@link Packet}.
67 *
68 * <p>
69 * More often, a tube works like a filter. It acts on a packet,
70 * and then it tells the JAX-WS that the packet should be passed into another
71 * tube. It can do the same on the way back.
72 *
73 * <p>
74 * For example, XWSS will be a {@link Tube}. It will act on a request
75 * {@link Packet}, then perhaps wrap it into
76 * another {@link Packet} to encrypt the body and add a header, then
77 * the processing will go on to the next tube.
78 *
79 * <p>
80 * Yet another kind of filter tube is those that wraps {@link LogicalHandler}
81 * and {@link SOAPHandler}. These tubes are heavy-weight; they often consume
82 * a message in a packet and create a new one, and then pass it to the next tube.
83 *
84 * <p>
85 * There would be a {@link Tube} implementation that invokes {@link Provider}.
86 * There would be a {@link Tube} implementation that invokes a service method
87 * on the user's code.
88 * There would be a {@link Dispatch} implementation that invokes a {@link Tube}.
89 *
90 * <p>
91 * WS-MEX can be implemented as a {@link Tube} that looks for
92 * {@link Message#getPayloadNamespaceURI()} and serves the request.
93 *
94 *
95 *
96 *
97 * <h2>Tube Lifecycle</h2>
98 * Pipeline is expensive to set up, so once it's created it will be reused.
99 * A pipeline is not reentrant; one pipeline is used to process one request/response
100 * at at time. The same pipeline instance may serve multiple request/response,
101 * if one comes after another and they don't overlap.
102 * <p>
103 * Where a need arises to process multiple requests concurrently, a pipeline
104 * gets cloned through {@link TubeCloner}. Note that this need may happen on
105 * both server (because it quite often serves multiple requests concurrently)
106 * and client (because it needs to support asynchronous method invocations.)
107 * <p>
108 * Created pipelines (including cloned ones and the original) may be discarded and GC-ed
109 * at any time at the discretion of whoever owns pipelines. Tubes can, however, expect
110 * at least one copy (or original) of pipeline to live at any given time while a pipeline
111 * owner is interested in the given pipeline configuration (in more concerete terms,
112 * for example, as long as a dispatch object lives, it's going to keep at least one
113 * copy of a pipeline alive.)
114 * <p>
115 * Before a pipeline owner dies, it may invoke {@link #preDestroy()} on the last
116 * remaining pipeline. It is "may" for pipeline owners that live in the client-side
117 * of JAX-WS (such as dispatches and proxies), but it is a "must" for pipeline owners
118 * that live in the server-side of JAX-WS.
119 * <p>
120 * This last invocation gives a chance for some pipes to clean up any state/resource
121 * acquired (such as WS-RM's sequence, WS-Trust's SecurityToken), although as stated above,
122 * this is not required for clients.
123 *
124 *
125 *
126 * <h2>Tube and state</h2>
127 * <p>
128 * The lifecycle of pipelines is designed to allow a {@link Tube} to store various
129 * state in easily accessible fashion.
130 *
131 *
132 * <h3>Per-packet state</h3>
133 * <p>
134 * Any information that changes from a packet to packet should be
135 * stored in {@link Packet} (if such informaton is specific to your problem domain,
136 * then most likely {@link Packet#invocationProperties}.)
137 * This includes information like transport-specific headers.
138 *
139 * <h3>Per-thread state</h3>
140 * <p>
141 * Any expensive-to-create objects that are non-reentrant can be stored
142 * either in instance variables of a {@link Tube}, or a static {@link ThreadLocal}.
143 *
144 * <p>
145 * The first approach works, because {@link Tube} is
146 * non reentrant. When a tube is copied, new instances should be allocated
147 * so that two {@link Tube} instances don't share thread-unsafe resources.
148 *
149 * Similarly the second approach works, since {@link ThreadLocal} guarantees
150 * that each thread gets its own private copy.
151 *
152 * <p>
153 * The former is faster to access, and you need not worry about clean up.
154 * On the other hand, because there can be many more concurrent requests
155 * than # of threads, you may end up holding onto more resources than necessary.
156 *
157 * <p>
158 * This includes state like canonicalizers, JAXB unmarshallers,
159 * {@link SimpleDateFormat}, etc.
160 *
161 *
162 * <h3>Per-proxy/per-endpoint state</h3>
163 * <p>
164 * Information that is tied to a particular proxy/dispatch can be stored
165 * in a separate object that is referenced from a tube. When
166 * a new tube is copied, you can simply hand out a reference to the newly
167 * created one, so that all copied tubes refer to the same instance.
168 * See the following code as an example:
169 *
170 * <pre>
171 * class TubeImpl {
172 * // this object stores per-proxy state
173 * class DataStore {
174 * int counter;
175 * }
176 *
177 * private DataStore ds;
178 *
179 * // create a fresh new pipe
180 * public TubeImpl(...) {
181 * ....
182 * ds = new DataStore();
183 * }
184 *
185 * // copy constructor
186 * private TubeImpl(TubeImpl that, PipeCloner cloner) {
187 * cloner.add(that,this);
188 * ...
189 * this.ds = that.ds;
190 * }
191 *
192 * public TubeImpl copy(PipeCloner pc) {
193 * return new TubeImpl(this,pc);
194 * }
195 * }
196 * </pre>
197 *
198 * <p>
199 * Note that access to such resource may need to be synchronized,
200 * since multiple copies of pipelines may execute concurrently.
201 *
202 *
203 *
204 * <h3>VM-wide state</h3>
205 * <p>
206 * <tt>static</tt> is always there for you to use.
