Subject: NEW ISSUE: Clarify whether a Default Value for a Property must appear inthe componentType of an implementation



RAISER: Mike Edwards
 
TARGET: SCA Assembly Specification WD02 section 4.1 Component Type
 
DESCRIPTION:

The assembly specification does not make it clear whether IF an implementation has a Property and
that property has a default value, THEN the default value appears in the componentType description
of that implementation.

PROPOSAL:

In WD02, the following text to be added after line 312:

"The componentType property element MAY contain a default value for the property
declared by the implementation.  However, the implementation MAY have a property
which has a default value, where the default value is NOT represented in the componentType.

An example of such a default value is where the default value is computed at runtime
by some code contained in the implementation.

The only way that a using component can be sure of the value of a property used by

an implementation is for the component to set the value explicitly, which will have the

effect of replacing any default value. "
