Important Tuscany SDO Project Announcement

Hi SDO developers and users,

I'm happy to announce that the Tuscany SDO/Java project now (as of 
revision 536331) contains a functionally complete implementation of the 
SDO 2.1 specification! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this 
achievement and especially in getting the final functionality in place in 
the last few weeks. Now that we have the function, the next step is to 
exercise it thoroughly to get all the bugs out.

I propose that we spend the next 4-6 weeks testing and fixing bugs 
followed by an official Tuscany SDO 1.0 release in June. We really need 
help from the community to test it thoroughly, so please work with us to 
help make Tuscany/SDO a great and solid framework.

As many of you already know, the SDO CTS (community test suite) is a 
separate Tuscany subproject with the goal of producing an implementation 
independent suite of SDO 2.1 tests. The tests are intended to verify the 
behavior of an SDO implementation (of which Tuscany/SDO is only one) to 
the best of our understanding of the spec and as agreed to by the 
community. Although it is not an official compliance suite, the more 
community input and SDO implementations that try to run it, the more 
likely we will "get it right" and it may eventually become an endorsed 
compliance suite.  So please consider contributing tests or pointing out 
any tests that you believe are not true to the spec. It would be great if 
we can put together a first release of the CTS in June along with the 1.0 
implementation.

I'm pleased to say that the Tuscany SDO implementation is currently 
passing 100% (398/398) of the available CTS tests, but there are still 
many parts of the spec that are not covered that I'm sure will need fixes 
in the Tuscany implementation. Let's get this finished so that we can then 
start moving on to working on new Tuscany features and value adds, and 
soon enough SDO 3 will be coming around the corner! Thanks again to 
everyone that helped us get where we are today, and I look forward to the 
future of SDO.

Thanks,
Frank.

P.S. For those of you that don't have it already, the SDO 2.1 
specification is avialiable here:

Kelvin, You're confusing elements with types. A substitution group lets 
you control the element used in a serialization. Subtyping (polymorphism) 
is an orthogonal concept.

Bert, The answer to your question is that there's nothing special to 
indicate that a property is polymorphic. You can always assign a subtype 
to a property. In that case, the XML serialization will include an 
xsi:type attribute to indicate the subtype:

<a><b xsi:type="SpecialB">...</b></a>

Bert,
   I think the file at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/java/sdo/tools/src/test/resources/subgroup.xsddemonstrates
what you want.

Re: SCA BPEL/EJB/JMS Example

Posted by haleh mahbod <hm...@gmail.com>.
Hi Rahul,
There is also a patch for EJB binding in the JIRA system that is based on M2
release. This also needs to be ported over to the new code base.

Re: SCA BPEL/EJB/JMS Example

Hi Rahul

You find use at the point where we are just getting to the end of a period
of refactoring in the Tuscany SCA codebase to make the code a little easier
to understand. If you look at the latest code in svn trunk you will see a
set of modules (see java/sca/modules) that we have ported over to the new
code, this includes

Bindings
  JsonRPC
  RMI
  WebServices (with Axis)
Implementations
  Java
  Script, e.g. Ruby, Python etc.
  Spring

There are quite a few modules that we haven't yet ported over (see
java/sca/contrib). This is where the BPEL implementation is at the moment so
it won't run with the latest code.  I also notice that the JMS binding has
made it into sca/modules but that it's not being built and tested regularly
as part of our build so I imagine someone is working on that at the moment.
Maybe someone can comment?

We are just about to do a release with this basic set of functionality. Then
I expect the Tuscany community will start looking at all the other modules
in Contrib and any other new one people want to add. If you feel like
getting your hands dirty now is a great time to get involved as there is no
shortage of modules to fix/add.

Hope that helps.

Simon

SCA BPEL/EJB/JMS Example

Posted by Rahul Nandkumar Bindu <Ra...@sos.sungard.com>.
Hi all,
I wanted to try out BPEL, EJB and JMS with SCA. I could not find the
examples for these in the samples provided with Tuscany. Could someone
please tell me where I can find these samples?

Rahul.

polymorphic links

Posted by be...@agfa.com.
Hi all,

I've a general question concerning polymorphism and SDO.

Suppose I have a type A that contains a link "b" of type B. There also 
exists a subtype "SpecialB" which extends B.

I interpret this link to be a polymorphic link, i.e. instances of this 
link should be of type B or of a subtype of B.
This works fine when using the DataObject API (e.g. using the method 
DataObject.createDataObject(Property property, Type type)).

However I don't understand how this is mapped into XML/XSD.

If I generate an XSD for type A, how do I express that the link 'b' is 
polymorph? 

A straigtforward approach like

        <xsd:complexType name="A">
                <xsd:sequence>
                        <xsd:element name="b" type="B" maxOccurs="1" 
minOccurs="0"></xsd:element>
                ...
        ...

states that the type of B should be exactly 'B' (at least according to my 
incomplete XML knowledge :-). 

On the instance level, 

        <a><b>...</b></a>

is an xml piece for an object of type A with a link to some b. How would 
this look like in case the link is to a SpecialB instance?


So, my question is, how do polymorphic links work in an xml context?

I hope this is clear.


Bert
