Subject	[sca-c-cpp] NWE ISSUE: Accessing SCA Services from non-SCA  code

TARGET: C++ and C specificationa, 

        Section titled "Accessing
Services from non-SCA component implementations"
(3.2 of WD 04) 

DESCRIPTION: 

Code that is completely external to an SCA domain can communicate to SCA
services through the externally advertised service bindings. 

  

However, there is sometimes code that is deployed that shares much in common
with the SCA domain. In increasing levels of coupling, the code might:

1. Have SCA APIs implemented to work with the target domain 

2. The client code was deployed as part of an SCA deployment, but the code
is not within an SCA component. 

In either or both of these cases, we should provide a simple way for the
client to access the target component. 

The current specification implies that the client would accomplish this
by retrieving a ComponentContext or SCAREF, although it does not describe
what component to use for this purpose (after all, the client is not associated
with a component). 

PROPOSAL: 

Nothing yet.
