Tuscany and Management - use a link with Apache Muse ??

[Mike Edwards <mi...@gmail.com>]

Folks,

Now that the 1.0 release is out of the way, can I open discussion 
(again) about the question of Management for the Tuscany runtime.

1. I think that we should add management interfaces to Tuscany

2. "Management" should include 2 main things:
- reporting events about things happening within the runtime
- allowing control of aspects of the runtime, including controlling the 
flow of events, plus the ability to influence the behaviour of the 
runtime and the components/services it is running.


One question we need to ask is what general model we want to adopt for 
the management interfaces.

In my opinion, it should be service based.  We should consider using 
standards like WSDM (Ws-Distributed Management).  We should think hard 
about the data model that we offer over such standards.

There is also a question about whether we should use some existing 
management code to help achieve this.  We have had discussions with 
Apache Muse previously (they implement WSDM, for example), but these 
discussions seem to have run into the sand (or they have been buried by 
the efforts to get 1.0 out of the door).

Now is a good time to resurrect these discussions and get some real work 
done.

I've started a page on the Tuscany internal Wiki:

Yours,  Mike.
