Subject: Re: [sca-assembly] REOPEN ISSUES 132 and 149: Update to Sanjay's Proposal


+1

This would go a long way to making SCA more open and applicable to a range of technologies.

Target:  SCA Assembly Model Specification Version 1.1
 
Description:  Update to Sanjay’s Proposal in Response to Issues 132 and 149
 
Proposal: The following is a recommended update to Sanjay’s original proposal to address Issues 132 (http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/ASSEMBLY-132) and 149 (http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/ASSEMBLY-149) by replacing the current text of Section 13.2 (SCA Runtime) in the SCA Assembly Model Spec with the language provided below.  The original text of Sanjay’s proposal is included as well as the inline updates showing recommended updates. Note that this proposal also comes with the accompanying documentation attached.  Justification for reopening these issues is articulated in the Justification section that follows the proposal.
 
Revised Sanjay Proposal:

An implementation that claims to conform to the requirements of an SCA Runtime defined in this specification MUST meet the following conditions:

1.      The implementation MUST comply with all statements in Appendix C: Conformance Items related to an SCA Runtime, notably all MUST statements have to be implemented.

2.      The implementation MUST conform to the SCA Policy Framework v1.1 Specification [Policy].

3.      The implementation MUST support at least one implementation type standardized by the OpenCSA Member Section or comply with the following rules for at least one of the other implementation types:

a.      The implementation type is defined in compliance with the SCA Assembly Extension Model (Section 10 9 of the this SCA Assembly Specification).

b.      A document describing the mapping of the constructs defined in the SCA Assembly specification with those of the implementation type is made publicly available to its prospective development community. Such a document should help in understanding how SCA components can be developed using the implementation type, how these components can be configured and assembled together (as instances of Components in SCA compositions). A template for such a document entitled "Implementation Type Documentation Requirements for SCA Assembly Model Version 1.1 Specification" has been provided by this Technical Committee.  The contents outlined in this document template MUST be completed in order for an implementation type to claim compliance with the SCA Assembly Specification. To get an idea about the purpose and scope of such a document that describes the implementation type, see the Client and Implementation specifications for the implementation types standardized by the OpenCSA Member section.

c.      An adapted version of the SCA Assembly Test Suite for testing the implementation type is created and is made publicly available to its prospective development community. A template for such a document entitled "Test Suite Adaptation for SCA Assembly Model Version 1.1 Specification" has been provided by this Technical Committee.  The contents outlined in this document template MUST be completed in order for an implementation type to claim compliance with the SCA Assembly Specification.

4.      The implementation MUST support one or more binding types.  If only one binding type is supported, it MUST be the default SCA binding type, binding.sca.

Justification:  The SCA assembly model should be made agnostic to specific implementation technology to the maximum extent possible so that it may be used as THE industry standard model for component and composite assembly.  Not all implementation technologies are “open,” “standards-based,” and/or “non-proprietary.”  It’s simply not realistic.  If the TC has a moral objection to such solutions, then that is a personal bias and it should be clearly stated at the beginning of each SCA-* specification.
