The following list identifies Context Specification editor parameter
blocks available on the second screen of the editor.
- Only use specified context at runtime: Checking this box
ensures that the context you have specified in the editor is the only
context that will be used. If this is not checked, then any other
context dimensions can be added to your specification.
- Default Required Model Dimensions: For example, this defines
the type of service. The default specifications are set by the runtime
and cannot be changed. For example, The type of service - Composite
Service; the component that consumes it - Dynamic Assembly Component;
its classification - Interface.Context Dimensions
- Model Dimensions: This defines the component to be included
in the model, along with a check box that identifies whether it is
required (checked) or not required (cleared). Clicking Add displays
a dialog box that enables you to choose from the available model dimension
types. Refer to the image below.
- Content-based Dimensions: This defines the content-based
assertions. Clicking Add displays a dialog box that enables
you to choose from a tree listing all defined content-based assertions,
such as units of work. Refer to the image below.
- Vocabulary Dimensions: This defines the vocabulary dimensions.
There are six dimensions available listed in the URI column. Each
dimension can be selected as required in the Required column. Each
dimension can be edited for its value that is listed in the Default
Value column. The value is edited by double-clicking the button in
the same row as the dimension to be added, in the column directly
next to the Default Value column. Clicking this button displays a
dimension-specific editor. Clicking the Clear button clears the Default
Value for that specific vocabulary dimension. Clicking Add displays
a box enabling you to select Vocabulary Dimensions to add to the editor.
Clicking Remove removes a dimension from the editor. Refer
to the image below.
