Re: [sca-j] Issue 237: proposal

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

First point is that for a resolution,
we'll need the line numbers of that modified paragraph in the latest WD
of the Spring spec.

- It is lines 592 - 594 in sca-springci-1.1-spec-WD06.doc
(section 3.0).

Second point is that we can give a normative
statement number to the new one - it should be SPR30003.

Third point is that the new paragraph
seems to just itch for a "MUST" in relation to the annotations
which are allowed/required
for a Java interface class.  The
modified statement implies an absolute requirement on a SCA Spring implementation
runtime.

Something like this? :

It is beyond the scope of this specification
to define the 
interpretation of the annotations specified
in the SCA Common 
Annotations and API Specification [ref],
except for those annotations 
that are required to be supported by
the SCA Java interface. 

The SCA runtime MUST support the SCA
annotations which are applicable
to an interface class which is referenced
by an <interface.java/> element in
the introspected component type of a
Spring application context {SPR30004] 

Other than the annotations which apply
to a Java interface referenced from an 
<interface.java/> element in the
component type, an 
implementation can ignore SCA annotations
that are present in classes 
used by the application context."


Yours, Mike

As discussed last week, here is the proposal for resolving
issue 237:

In section 3 Component Type of a Spring Application Context, after 
SPR30001 add:

The introspected component type MUST be a compliant SCA Java XML 
Document as defined in section 12.1 of [JAVA-CAA]. [SPR3xxxx] The 
introspected component type uses <interface.java> as the interface
type 
for the introspected services and references. Section 12.1 of [JAVA-CAA]
requires compliance with the all requirements of <interface.java>.

This will require modification of the resolution for issue 166. The 
current resolution says:
"It is beyond the scope of this specification to define the 
interpretation of the annotations specified in the SCA Common 
Annotations and API Specification [ref]. An implementation can ignore 
SCA annotations that are present in classes used by the application 
context."

This should be modified to:
"It is beyond the scope of this specification to define the 
interpretation of the annotations specified in the SCA Common 
Annotations and API Specification [ref], ***except for those annotations
that are required to be supported by the SCA Java interface***. ***Other
than the annotations required by the SCA Java interface***, an 
implementation can ignore SCA annotations that are present in classes 
used by the application context."
