| Hi,
Sorry if I was not clear enough. The question is about what is meant by "SCA runtime". Do the exit criteria require two *conformant* SCA runtimes per normative statement or simply two "SCA runtimes"? Theoretically, one can argue an SCA runtime can only be called such if it is "conformant". However, in practice, there are plenty of vendors and open source projects claiming to have "SCA runtimes" that may or may not be "conformant".
My point is it is better to clarify this part of the exit criteria than to leave it ambiguous.

cheers, jeff Jeff Mischkinsky Sr. Director Fusion Middleware and Web Services Standards Oracle +1(650)506-1975 Hi,
One thing I think needs clarification is "two SCA runtimes". Do the two SCA runtimes have to be "conformant"?
Specifically, does the following case satisfy the exit criteria:
1. Three runtimes that on their own implement only a subset of the normative statements such that no single runtime implements all normative statements 2. When taken together there are always at least two runtimes that implement a normative statement.
If this scenario satisfies the exit criteria, it raises the possibility that there may be no "conformant" SCA runtimes.
Or, is it the case that the two runtimes must be "conformant" to all normative statements?

Folks,
Here is my proposal for the Exit
Criteria
for the SCA Assembly TC:
"The Concrete Exit Criteria for the SCA
Assembly
V1.1 specification are that
there shall be at least 2 independent SCA runtimes that are
compliant
with each normative portion of the specification as described
in Section
12.2 of the SCA Assembly V1.1 specification"
This meets the terms of the
Charter
and I believe that it is clear and straightforward.
Yours, Mike
