Subject:	[sca-j] NEW ISSUE: SCA Spring C & I specification should mention how implicit services should be determined for special bean definitions

Raiser:   Ramkumar Ramalingam

Target:  sca-springci-1.1-spec-WD02.pdf

Description:
The SCA Spring Client and Implementation specification should mention how implicit services should be determined for the following bean definition as shown below. 

Scenario 1: 
<bean id="bean1" class="calculator.calculatorImpl" abstract="true"> 
.... 
.... 
</bean> 

Scenario 2: 
<bean id="bean1" parent="calculator.calculatorImp"> 
.... 
.... 
</bean> 

Scenario 3: 
<bean id="bean1" factory-bean="calculator.CalculatorFactory"> 
.... 
.... 
</bean> 

The current specs says that in case of implicit services, if there are no <sca:service/> elements in the application context, then services are defined by each of the top-level <bean/> elements in the application context. For the following scenarios shown above, its not valid to create a service. 

Proposal: 
The specification should state that, for these scenarios the services will not be defined and these beans will be ignored for exposing as service.
