Abstract

Component-based software development has become an important approach to building complex software systems. Much research focuses on component specification to achieve the advantages of the component-based approach in theory. Most of this research pays little attention to the mappings from component specifications to component implementations. However, the mappings are important because they determine whether the implementations perform satisfactorily to meet the specifications. After presenting a general approach to component specification and the technology of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) component model, this paper presents three approaches to mapping from component specification to EJB implementation. This paper uses a course registration system as an example to demonstrate the ideas. The approaches presented will be helpful to those who are working on the realizations of component systems.
