Tuscany development status

Hello,
I'm trying to push for the adoption of SCA model (Tuscany) in a project 
whose development activities will start on the second quarter of the 
next year.
Next week there will be a meeting in which I would like to summarize the 
status of Tuscany project. In particular, I would like to report on the
current conformity of Tuscany to the SCA specification, the companion UI 
tools that can ease the development (not only those that may be under 
the Apache effort, but also e.g. Eclipse), when  a final SCA 
specification is expected, and if other IT providers are 
developing/providing more implementations.

I could gather such information from the web (of course I'm doing), but 
I would appreciate whether you give me some hints on the practical 
difficulties that we could have when approaching Tuscany.

Thanks in advance
francesco

I think the system core will be based on Java platform, but some 
components could be developed in C++ or PHP as well.
Personally I'm going to use Java, and I'm also interested to use OSGi 
framework. I saw that there is already an OSGi module in the trunk, I 
have just compiled it but not tested yet.

Ciao Francesco,

The SCA specification is targeting Q1 this year. Are you specifically  
interested in the Java implementation, C++ implementation or both?  
I'm happy to help answer any questions you have on the former as well  
as the SCA specs.

Buon anno!

Jim

Thank you Jean-Sebastian,
I was supposing that it wasn't so easy to answer, especially to my last 
question, but it didn't discourage me from continuing ;-).

Just to inform you, there was general consensus respect the SCA 
initiative, as well as caution because the work is still in progress.
Obviously there were also motivations against the SCA adoption as for 
example the reuse of code already developed by the involved partners 
;-). But we are still defining the conceptual model so there is room for 
any (maybe mixed) solution ... people asked me references.

What I haven't found is a roadmap about the SCA specification, even an 
approximate date for the version 1.0 can ease managers to go over their 
hesitation (but I understand that it can produce negative effects).
Working in team we are particularly interested in the deployment aspects 
  of a service networks, so next months I've intention to investigate 
such  area to give them a practical demo of how SCA can help our 
collaborative work.

see you on this ML
regards and happy new year
francesco

Francesco,

I'm not sure if anybody else has already sent you any pointers, as most 
of us were on vacation the last 2 weeks, but most of the SCA information 
is on our Web site http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany, the OSOA spec 
collaboration site http://www.osoa.org and the PHP SOA package at 
http://pecl.php.net/package/SCA_SDO

Here are a few more specific pointers:

The latest level of the SCA spec is 0.96 and the OSOA collbatoration is 
working towards a 1.0 spec.

You can find a list of early implementations of SCA and SDO (including 
Apache Tuscany of course) at 
http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Early+Implementation+Examples+and+Tools.

The Eclipse SOA tools platform project at http://www.eclipse.org/stp/ is 
building Eclipse tools for SCA.

Finally the Tuscany SCA Milestone 2 announcement emails give you a list 
of the SCA features and spec levels supported in both the C++ and Java 
Tuscany runtimes.
C++ M2: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-tuscany-user/200611.mbox/%3c88068c950611060356x425b4778s96d33b7a3104476b@mail.gmail.com%3e
Java M2: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-tuscany-dev/200612.mbox/%3c458EFB7F.4040404@hursley.ibm.com%3e

Community discussions on the next steps for Tuscany just started before 
the holidays and they're probably going to resume soon on the 
tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org mailing list.

Feel free to post here or on tuscany-dev if you have more specific 
questions. I'll be able to help more with Tuscany C++ related questions 
but it looks like most of the people working on Tuscany Java are back 
from vacation this week as well.
