Re: Session manager architecture

Hello,

A great question. We are working to rectify this right now. The decision is a legacy one, and was made because when session_manager was introduced, it was not yet possible for tools like session_control to access services exposed by session_manager without putting a v1 component in its ancestral tree.

This restriction no longer exists.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

I believe it's a temporary arrangement for testing. Adding Gabe who knows more.

  Dear team,

session manager is a v2 component. Ideally all V2 components are handled by component manager. But there is a difference in the session framework architecture.

The session manager is ran by component_manager_sfw.cmx..eg:"fuchsia.session.ElementManager": [ "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/component_manager_sfw#meta/component_manager_sfw.cmx", "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/session_manager#meta/session_manager.cm" ]

Also the services in the emulator shows that 

 j: 17585             95.2M   95.1M

    p: 17636         2428.4k   2428k     36k         appmgr.cm

    j: 18716           92.8M   92.8M                 app

      j: 19342        700.4k    700k

        p: 19351      700.4k    700k     36k         sysmgr.cmx

      j: 19964         91.6M   91.5M                 sys

          j: 25835     1853.1k   1852k

                 p: 25860   1120.4k   1120k     36k         component_manager_sfw.cmx

                     j: 29329    304.4k    304k

                         p: 29633  304.4k    304k     36k         session_manager.cm

                     j: 30569    428.4k    428k

                         p: 30722  428.4k    428k     36k         workstation_session.cm

Why component_manager_sfw is used and why can't session manager be ran by component manager directly?
