Summary: Approaches to enforcing communication integrity in the implementation, exemplified by ArchJava, consider only architectural constraints, without taking into account the late integration of prebuilt components into the architecture. This may hinder the practice of architecture in the common component building. In this paper, we present an approach to supporting the integration of prebuilt components in the context of the architectural constraints. This approach is described in terms of a novel design pattern, an architectural description language (ADL) JCMPL and a toolset JCMP. The language and toolset are designed based on the pattern to dynamically link the architectural constraints with the component building. To achieve this goal, an important step is to automatically translate the connector specification defined in the architecture into the connector implementation, which can serve as glue codes to connect two prebuilt components together by transferring the methods invocation between two components.
