TARGET: SCA Assembly Conformance Tests

DESCRIPTION: 

Service4.wsdl contains a complex type, stringBuffer that
requires mapping to java.lang.StringBuffer in the Java interface Service4
(as an operation parameter) in composite TEST_ASM_8002. There is no default
mapping in JAXB from an XSD type to StringBuffer

SVN Version: 426

PROPOSAL: 

The purpose of this test is to check for the enforcement
of pass-by-value semantics. There are several ways other to achieve this:

1. Using interoperable types that can be mapped from an
XSD type to a Java type such as an array of strings or a list. This will,
however, require a mapping technology such as JAXB

2. Restructure the test to verify pass-by-value semantics
using collocated components with remotable interfaces. In this scenario,
for the Java tests, a test component will be exposed as a web service endpoint
and wired to a component offering remotable interface using interface.java.
The parameter type used to check for pass-by-value semantics can be any
Java object type, such as an Array or List. For other languages, a similar
language-specific interface mechanism can be used.
