The following illustrates the basic components of a genOSLC integrationJava Framework.

...
The authoring tool (in green above), may be implemented in any technology. The following are general requirements of the Authoring tool Architecture.
The Authoring Tool has a web interface with which the Authoring Tool Integration may communicate (Native API above).
The Authoring Tool is capable of hosting the genOSLC plugin. In a web application the genOSLC plugin is hosted in an HTML iframe element. In programmatic clients, like Eclipse, this is often achieved with an embedded browser.
The Authoring Tool Native UI is capable of communicating with the genOSLC Plugin. This is normally done with JavaScript postMessage in the browser.
genOSLC
genOSLC consists of two components:
...
genOSLC Java Framework: This is a Spring Boot based framework delivered as a Java Jar file. The Authoring Tool Integration implements an IToolAdapter Java interface and the genOSLC framework exposes an OSLC API for the the Authoring Tool.
...
IToolAdapter Implementation
A genOSLC is a Spring Boot Java application which uses the genOSLC Java Framework. The heart of the integration is the implementation of the IToolAdapter Java interface (Authoring Tool Adapter above). This implementation uses the Native API of the Authoring Tool to expose its objects to genOSLC.
The IToolAdapter Interface uses Tool Adapter Objects (all with suffix Tao). The following are the primary Tool Adapter Objects each encapsulates an OSLC concept.
Tool Adapter Objects (TAOs)
The following are the primary Tool Adapter Objects
Java Class | Usage |
|---|---|
ServiceProviderTao | This models an OSLC Service Provider. It contains at least one ComponentTao. |
ComponentTao | This models an OSLC Component. The Component is the smallest object in OSLC container that may have versions and branches. It is contain in exactly one Service Provider. |
LocalConfigurationTao | This models an OSLC configuration. It is essentially either a branch or a baseline of the component. |
ArtifactTao | This models an OSLC resource e.g. a Test Case, Requirement, Architecture Element etc. Artifacts are owned by a single component. |
ResourceShapeTao | Models a resource shapes or scheme in OSLC. Resource shapes are owned by a single component. |
Application.YML
An Application.YML is a standard Spring Boot configuration file which is used to configure Spring Boot Applications.
