Graham Charters: Scribe: Graham Charters
Dave Booz: quorum with 54% 6 of 11
Graham Charters: Agenda Bashing:
Graham Charters: No comments. Going with agenda as posted.
Graham Charters: Minutes Approval:
Graham Charters: No comments. Approved as posted.
Graham Charters: Administration:
Graham Charters: 26 open issue. Public review to end 7th Aug.
Graham Charters: 1 action complete. To be added to Friday agenda (Spring use of Java annotations).
Graham Charters: New Issues:
Graham Charters: Java-125 re-opening... Don't have 2/3 majority to do this. Deferred to later.
Graham Charters: Open Issues:
Graham Charters: Java-139
Graham Charters: Email from Simon: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-j/200906/msg00092.html
Graham Charters: Started looking more deeply at how the default value can be done. Unfortunately, can be of many types. Annotations constrain the things which can be put in as values.
Graham Charters: Simon came up with proposal which support all possible property types. Dave made the suggestion that the problems really is we have the wrong default value.
Graham Charters: Default value for 'require' that is. Suggestion to change the default for required to false.
Graham Charters: Mike suggest closing no action. Anish agreed. Feeling was the 'required' default was an orthogonal issue.
Graham Charters: Anish asked if there was any benefits to doing this for just scalars, thus not pulling in all the complexity.
Graham Charters: Dave concerned it opens the door for more complex things in the future...
Graham Charters: Anish thinks most of these values will be 'string' (so if we do it, it needs to be scalar + string).
Graham Charters: Simon asks, what if we do it just for strings and nothing else. Strings are what would show up in the component Type.
anonymous morphed into anish
Graham Charters: Mike still not convinced. Doesn't see the benefit. Simon think the benefit is it becomes part of the CT and helps with configuring a composite.
Graham Charters: Proposing 1 attribute called "defaultValue" with no type (always string). It's type would be handled as if it has been set in the component type.
Graham Charters: Action: Simon to write the proposal for the 'defaultValue' attribute only accepting strings.
Graham Charters: Java-153:
Graham Charters: Proposal from Simon: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-j/200906/msg00117.html
Graham Charters: Rev 4 adds a new example to show the reflected CT.
Graham Charters: Mark: second example shows no remoteable attribute, but the @Remotable annotations. This is valid because the XML does not need to duplicate what is in the annotation.
Graham Charters: Currently only require an explicit setting if the value is to be changed.
Graham Charters: Mark suggests adding a paragraph just to explain this.
Graham Charters: Added paragraph in section 3.1 (not normative).
Graham Charters: Next change is in Section 8 (normative)
Graham Charters: There is no use case for remotable="false" - no-op if interface does not have remotable, and it's an error if it does. We could sub-type to not allow false.
anish when are spec wonks considered human?
Mike Edwards: ....never
Graham Charters: Also added text for the reference side.
Graham Charters: Also added text to 8.1 to say always omitted.
Graham Charters: To wonk is human; to forgive, divine.
Graham Charters: Same for 8.2. Never a need to specify the remotable attribute.
Mark Combellack: The interface specified in the interface.java is implictly remotable because the implementation class contains @Remotable
Graham Charters: The interface specified in interface.java is already implicitly remotable because the HelloServiceImpl already contains the @Remotable attribute.
anonymous morphed into Pradeep
Simon Nash: The following snippet shows the introspected component type for this implementation. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <componentType xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"> <service name="HelloService"> <interface.java interface="services.hello.HelloService"/> </service> </componentType>
Simon Nash: the above is location A
Simon Nash: The following snippet shows the introspected component type for this implementation. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <componentType xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"> <service name="HelloServiceImpl"> <interface.java interface="services.hello.HelloServiceImpl"/> </service> </componentType>
Simon Nash: above text is location B
Graham Charters: Proposal: Add the following text, "The interface specified in the interface.java is implicitly remotable because the interface contains @Remotable" at location A
Simon Nash: Add the following text, "The interface specified in the @interface attribute of the <interface.java/> element is implicitly remotable because the Java interface contains @Remotable" at location A
Mark Combellack: Looks ok to me
Simon Nash: Add the following text, "The interface specified in the @interface attribute of the <interface.java/> element is implicitly remotable because the Java implementation class contains @Remotable" at location A
Graham Charters: second one is location B
Mark Combellack: +1
Graham Charters: Simon moves to resolve issue 153 with the changes in rev 4 + the 2 proposed changes in the chat room (at locations A & B).
Graham Charters: Mike Edwards seconds.
Graham Charters: Passed with unanimous consent. 153 is resolved.
Graham Charters: Java 125:
Graham Charters: See http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-j/200906/msg00099.html
Graham Charters: Dave commented we hadn't got the text right.
Graham Charters: Was correct at the time, but have added new places where @Remotable annotation can be added, and in these cases the the @remotable attribute is not an alternative, it's equivalent.
Graham Charters: Motion: Simon moves to re-open Java-125.
Graham Charters: Dave Booz seconds.
Graham Charters: Motion passed with unanimous consent. Java-125 is re-opened.
Graham Charters: Proposal included in msg00099.
Graham Charters: Proposal is to change 2 sentences as described in msg00099.
Graham Charters: Motion: Simon moves to resolve the issue with the proposal in msg00099.
Graham Charters: Mike Edwards seconds.
Graham Charters: Motion passed with unanimous consent. Java-125 is resolved...again

Graham Charters: Java-131:
Graham Charters: Proposal from Simon: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-j/200906/msg00119.html
Graham Charters: Specified 3 new normative statements.
Graham Charters: 1 & 2 are in new section 7.2.3.
anish: q
Graham Charters: 3 is in section 10.3 [JCA90055]
anish: can it be a subtype?
anish give me just a sec
Simon Nash: can't hear you
Simon Nash: ok
Graham Charters: The type of the method being a subtype of what is required by the bi-direction interface (a subtype in the Java sense).
Graham Charters: Simon believe the proxy being injected would not be sufficient because it would not contain any extra methods specified on the subtype.
Graham Charters: Use case: component impl has forward interface A and callback iface B. Redefine interface for service at the component level. Make them compatible subsets A' and compatible superset B'. Then wire up to a calling component with A' and B'.
Graham Charters: use cases is adding some new facility to the callback interface B'. Would like to know if the client has this new capability.
anish happy with that as well
Graham Charters: Mike believes this is outside the scope of 131. It would need to be covered by general references.
Mark Combellack: Warning: approx 5 minutes left
Graham Charters: Motion: Simon moves to resolve 131 with the changes in the doc attatched to msg00119.
Graham Charters: Seconded by Mike Edwards
Graham Charters: Motion passed unanimously. Java-131 is resolved.
Graham Charters: AOB:
Graham Charters: None.
Graham Charters: Meeting closed...

Regards,

Graham.
