NEW ISSUE: JCI50002 and JCI50005 are not well written

[David Booz <booz@us.ibm.com>]

TARGET: SCA POJO spec CD01-rev1

DESCRIPTION:
(1) The spec contains the following for JCI50002:

The @Constructor annotation MUST only be specified on one constructor; the SCA container MUST raise an error if multiple constructors are annotated with @Constructor. [JCI50002]

The double 'MUST' is unnecessary. The fragment 'MUST only be specified on one' could be written more clearly.

(2) The spec contains the following for JCI50005:

The SCA runtime MUST raise an error if there are multiple constructors that are not annotated with @Constructor and have a non-empty parameter list with all parameters annotated with either @Property or @Reference. [JCI50005]

The statement is very hard to parse.


PROPOSAL:

The @Constructor annotation MUST NOT appear on more than one constructor. [JCI50002]

In the absence of an @Constructor annotation, there MUST NOT be more than one constructor that has a non-empty parameter list with all parameters annotated with either @Property or @Reference. [JCI50005]
