Composites
A Composite is a configuration of Services comprising an Application that conforms to a service-oriented architecture. A Composite contains Components, Services, References, the wires that interconnect them, and properties that are used to configure the Components. Composites can be nested (contained by other composites). A root Composite equates to an SCA Application.
See the SCA Assembly specification for information on service-oriented architectures.
The constituents of a Composite can run in a single process on a single computer or be distributed across multiple processes on multiple computers. A complete Application might be constructed from just one Composite or it could combine several different Composites. The Components making up each Composite can be implemented using different technologies.
