Hi,
 
A few comments regarding this proposal:
 
General:
Assumption: I am assuming that the
import.java and export.java are based on the Import-Package and Export-Package
OSGI concepts
Is it worth mentioning that we do not
support wildcard imports (i.e. the use of “*” in the package name) like
the DynamicImport-Package OSGI concept
<mje>
Correct - this proposal
is equivalent to import-package and export-package of OSGi.
</mje>
 
 
General:
Can I have multiple import and export
statements in my sca-contribution.xml? Or do I have to comma separate them
all on a single import/export statement?
<mje>
Yes, multiple are allowed
- this is expressed in the contribution.xsd contained in the SCA Assembly
spec
</mje>
 
Is this allowed?
 
<contribution ...>
      ...
      <import.java
package=”myfirstpackage”/>
      <import.java
package=”mysecondpackage”/>
      <export.java
package=”some.xml.parser”/>
      <import.java
package=”some.soap.stack”/>
      ...
</contribution>
<mje>Yes, allowed</mje>

I am presuming that the XML schema
would give me the answer but it is unclear from the text if this is allowed.
<mje> 
I've tried to clarify the
wording
</mje>
 
 
Line 571:
Text has “The name of one or more
Java package” This should be changed to “package(s)” to match the text
on line 544
<mje>Done</mje>
 
 
Lines 583 -> 592:
I would consider extending the example
to import more than 1 package and use at least one version number somewhere.
For example, replace the text on lines 583 to 592 with:
 
For example, a contribution that wants
to:
·
         Use
classes from the some.package package 
·
         Use
version 2.0 of the classes from the some.other.package package
·
         expose
the my.package package from its own contribution, 
would specify an sca-contribution.xml file
as follows:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<contribution xmlns=http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200712>
 …
   <import.java package=”some.package,some.other.package;version=2.0”/>
   <export.java package=”my.package”/>
</contribution>
<mje> Done - nice
enhancement to the example, thanks</mje>

 
Note: If more than one import.java
statement is allowed, it might be clearer to separate the import statements
into two in the above example.
<mje> Done</mje>
 
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
