new project

[Jason Pratt <jp...@gmail.com>]

 hello all,
i am starting a new soa project that we've selected tuscany for use. my
question is which version to use 1.5 or 2.x? this will be a production
system handling a fair amount of core business processes.

also, what is the difference between tuscany and fuse? it seems fuse is
sitting on top of tuscany and a few other projects.

It depends on your timescales. If you want to get going now then 1.x
is out stable code branch. We are not done with upgrading the 2.x core
to match the OASIS specs just yet so expect more changes in the
innards of 2.x over the coming weeks.

The focus of the Tuscany Java SCA runtime is SCA assembly. A standards
based mechanism for composing applications from components built and
connected using a variety of technologies. The technical difference
then comes down to whether you think using SCA to describe composite
applications is useful in your scenario. Under the covers we do use
some common technologies. For example, Tuscany uses ActiveMQ for it's
JMS support. From a non-technical point of view Tuscany is a normal
non-commercial Apache project. There are people who have commercial
SCA propositions but I don't believe Fuse does.

Hope that helps
