Internals

This section describes the way component methods are implemented within SSC. The details do not affect SSC users, but the background is useful for understanding how SSC works, and for troubleshooting.

A component consists of a description stored in XML format, along with the code and data resources it needs to run. Multiple components are packaged into .jar files for distribution.

Drivers are modules within SSC that provide access to SunSystems business data in different ways. A component method is implemented by providing configuration parameters to a driver, along with driver specific resources. Depending on the driver type, the parameters may completely define the method, or it can include extensive code or script resources.
