Creation of a Sandbox area for SCA Event Processing Prototype

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

Folks,

Some of us are interested in working on a prototype extension to SCA which will handle Event 
Processing alongside the existing Service processing which is handled by existing SCA specificatoins 
and Tuscany implementation code.

We're going to create this in a sandbox called "Event" for the present, as it will introduce changes 
into some of the basic modules of Tuscany and we don't want to disturb the main builds with these 
changes.  The intention is to merge these changes back into the mainline Tuscany code at some future 
point when the new functionality has been built and tested sufficiently to assure us that it works 
well and will not require further major changes of design to proceed further.

The intention is to reuse as much as possible of the existing Tuscany code (eg using binding.jms 
implementations as an initial binding for sending events between components).

Alongside the "Event" sandbox, we are creating an area in the Tuscany Wiki that will be used for 
documentation and for discussion of design and other aspects of the Event processing function.  This 
area is headed by the following page:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANY/SCA+Java+Event+Processing


Yours,  Mike.

Ant,

At the moment, this is an independent piece of prototyping work.

At some point, I hope that OSOA will make available an SCA Event Processing specification and open 
up discussion about it.


Yours,  Mike.

Would I be correct it guessing that this work will be based on the eventing
spec that is currently being developed at OSOA? And if so are the draft
specs and discussion around them going to be made publicly available?
