NEW ISSUE: Simplified stateful implementation mechanism to replaceconversations

[Simon Nash <oasis@cjnash.com>]

TARGET: Java Common Annotations and APIs

DESCRIPTION: Simplified stateful implementation mechanism to replace conversations

The current SCA-J approach to conversations uses conversational
annotations on interfaces together with a conversation scope for
implementations.

The functional capability currently provided by SCA-J conversations
is the ability for components to be stateful, with instance lifetimes
determined by business logic semantics.

This capability can be provided in a simpler and cleaner way by
removing conversation-related annotations on interfaces and making
the necessary state management an implementation concern, using
some combination of implementation metadata and SCA-J runtime APIs.

PROPOSAL: None at this time.
