The release of "DSpace Services" represents the first offering of the DSpace 2.0 technology developed with funding from JISC, and staffing support from the DSpace Foundation, CARET, MIT, @mire, Open Repository, and HP. This is a presentation on what DSpace services are and how they integrate into DSpace 1.6.0 Thanks to the efforts on this initiative by Mark Diggory from @mire, Aaron Zeckoski from CARET, Ben Bosman from @mire, Graham Triggs from Open Repository and Bradley McLean from DuraSpace Foundation. top

Editor's Notes
- What do we think is the problem? Community Developers need to maintain and improve DSpace. End User Developers need to Customize installations. Developers manipulating same code. Results in Developers butting heads over merging contributions and new versions. repeated changes to adapt DSpace to new customizations.
- But is it the developers fault that these conflict occur? No, its not their fault? Need to innovate, Need to change code, Need to solve immediate issues first.

- While DSpace Static Manager Design is simple. While they helped original developers be innovative and get their job done, they now limit us in the DSpace of today. And static methods do not make an API, Application Programming Interface) static methods are not extensible. Static methods cannot be overridden or re-implemented And we have a lot of these in DSpace Examples: PluginManager, ConfigurationManager, DatabaseManager, BitstreamStorageManager They are even present in DSpaceObject Model Static method even reference into other static Manager methods hardcoded in implementation. Users forced to customize static methods directly Repackaging modules: same Class, different behavior. Everyone (Users and Developers) are changing the implementation directly.
- So, Anti-patterns represent possibly bad practices we might wnat to consider avoiding in the codebase. I can identify a few in both DSpace and how we use/customize it... [click] Hardcoding the Initialization of Configuration Hardcoding Database Access into Data Model. [click] God Objects, ConfigurationManager (config, but also templates and logging) Context (db, events, cache, authen) DSpaceObject (data model and storage) [click] JAR Hell, users have to alter source and override implementation to change behavior Continuing practice with Maven and Overlays... leads to &#x201C;jar hell&#x201D; and &#x201C;classloader hell&#x201D; where users change behavior by readding same class with changes in front of original ont he classpath. Not in criticism of all the hard work that went into DSpace initially. But an analysis of the codebase given best practices that evolved since its creation.

- [click] Many clients with similar need for customization. [click] All Products dependent on DSpace, in some cases we have some cases, we too overlay existing dspace-api classes and are subject to these problems during upgrading. [click] But, as a commercial company, we NEED to guarantee upgrade path for our clients. [click] Thus we really need stable and clearly defined API in DSpace. Both for reliability and for our own customiations.

- But what is modularity... separating the code into smaller and more specific projects. We work to separate the libraries into Functionally separate units. Use dependency relationships to clarify inter-dependencies. But... Have to be cautious that we don&#x2019;t increase complexity that we are seeking to reduce. We do need modularity. But, modularity is not a complete solution on its own. We need something else...
- We need to eliminate dependencies where ever we can and focus on implementations not being tightly bound to other implementations. [click] and most importantly, we need to identify key important interfaces as contracts within the application.
- API are contracts, implementation are separate. What to change something, write your own service or reimplement an existing service.Everything is replaceable. Everything is packaged separately. Removes Hardcode: Data Models are anemic, Services implemented separate from interfaces used by applications. Lessens JAR Hell: API contracts, default implementations off limits.Want to change behavior, write changes separately. Removes God Objects: Services separate functional areas, separate Data Models without interdependency assure separation.

- Not actually part of the DSPace 1.6.0 trunk More like a 3rd party dependency Released separately under its own revision path Dividied into 3 projects API ....
- ConfigurationService: Configuration properties for the DSpace system Event Service: Register Event Listeners. Generate Events. Request Service: Transactional window for completing tasks. Provides hooks for Request Interceptors to allow other services to participate in the transaction. Session Service: Provides a state across requests. Caching Service: Holds onto references to objects for later use.
- Point out that : Contains configuration User defined Asynchronous DSpace Services. exists in both XMLUI and JSPUI Note that more files can be added here, Which is a more appropriate use of overlays that replacing files wholesale.
- Spring XML configuration example
- Same analogy in Java But there are other ways as well. Google Guice, annotations, etc.
- So our first reall example of service usage in DSpace 1.6
- An example of firing events..
- Request is transactional window User can get it from Request service Not passed around Retained in Thread Local Database Connection no longer transactional window (not present in 1.6) Code must register Request-Interceptors to close database transactions.
- Inversion of Control will free the User/Developer to be able to choose the appropriate configuration and modules used by DSpace. However, we may want to port whatever we can in DSpace 1.x to retain a continuum of the intelligent work and bug fixes that have gone into 1.x Rather than Hardcoded Initialization forcing DSpace Users to accept DSpace existing Configuration. Or altering that implmentation directly. Decide what implementations should be isolated from API directly used by users customizing DSpace.

- [click] DSpace 2.0 is a successful, but immense and multifaceted project. [click] Will take multiple version releases introducing new functionality as we go [click] Work is incremental, projects need to remain tractable and adopted quickly [click] Work needs to be kept close to the trunk where it can be integrated. [click] Services are here as the first step towards that integration. [click] All Developers need to plan together to for these migrations My ultimate hope is to emphasize to the community the immense need for you to come forward and contribute within the DSpace developers group, not only working on 2.0, but also on the neccessary effort that will be needed to bring these needed improvements to mainstream usage within the DSpace community. In doing this integration of dspace-services into DSpace 1.6.0 my interest is in assuring the preservation of this effort by spearheading its adoption onto the community.
