Ports can be used to characterize potential links to other components
Each CCA Component has
- A list of “input” Ports where
- An input gPort defines an interface to services provided by the component.
- A list of “output” Ports where
- An output gPort is the interface to a set of services required by the component.
- Other “self-identification” features
- allow component containers to probe the component properties. This may be rolled into its own gPort.
