[ISSUE 142] Need a normative statement for @autowire inheritance - Proposal

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

Here is a proposal for the resolution
of Issue 142:

1) In sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd03-Rev2.pdf:

Replace lines 794 - 795 in section 4.3
with the following:

·        autowire
: boolean (0..1) – whether the reference is autowired, as described
in the
Autowire section. 
The default value of the @autowire attribute MUST be the value of the @autowire
attribute on the component containing 
the reference, if present, or else the value of the @autowire attribute
of the composite containing the component, if present, 
and if neither is present, then it is "false". [ASM50042]

2) In sca-assembly-1.1-test-assertions-cd01.pdf:

Add at the end of section 5:

Assertion ID	ASM-TA-5044
Source	[ASM50042]
Target	<reference/> element of a <component/> element
Prerequisites	a) <reference/> element has no @autowire attribute b) There are 2 or more valid target services for the reference contained in the same composite as the component containing the reference which satisfy the autowire process. c) The <component/> element containing the <reference/> has @autowire="true"
Predicate	<reference/> is wired to all of the compatible component services and can invoke operations on each of them
Prescription Level	Mandatory
Tags	"component” “reference” “autowire”

3) In sca-assembly-1.1-testcases-cd01.pdf

Add at the end of section 5:

ASM_5038_TestCase

Testcase ID	ASM_5038_TestCase
Test Assertion	ASM-TA-5044
Description	Tests that where a <component/> <reference/> has no @autowire attribute, and the containing <component/> has @autowire="true", that the <reference/> is wired to all valid target services contained in the same composite as the <component/>
Artifacts	ASM_5038_TestCase.java Test_ASM_5038.composite TestInvocation.wsdl TestClient_0002.composite TestComposite7.composite TestComposite1.composite Service1.wsdl
Expected output	Positive test: "ASM_5038 request service1 operation1 invoked second operation1 invoked third operation1 invoked fourth operation1 invoked"

<Note: This would be based on ASM_6018_TestCase, with the modification being made to the top level
composite to move the @autowire setting from the component reference element to the component element>
