Response to Comments on SCA-J POJO Component Implementation v1.1 TestCasesVersion 1.0

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

Patrick,

First, the OASIS SCA-J TC would like
to thank you for your comments relating to the SCA-J POJO Component Implementation
v1.1 TestCases Version 1.0.

This email is a response to your comments:

1) General comment 

"It
was unclear where the Java classes could be found 
that are used in the test assertions. Seems like that would be fairly 
critical to the test cases."

A link reference to the ZIP file containing
the complete set of test suite artifacts has been added to the "Related
Work" section at  the front
of the specification, with some additional
text describing the contents of the ZIP in the Introduction section at
the start of the specification.


2) Comment on "Test Artifact Organization"

"Really
should have a clear separation between normative and 
non-normative material. Such as starts with "Note that..." is
non-normative."

The TC takes the view that this material
is normative as it describes the actual organization of the test artifacts.
The material is relevant to SCA runtime
implementations since this organization of the artifacts into multiple
contributions affects the deployment
of the test materials to the SCA runtime that is under test.  "Note
that..." is a
stylistic choice of words intended to
bring the attention of the reader to something significant.  

The TC is not minded to change this
section of the specification.


3) Comment on the Conformance section:

"No
conformance clauses? Contrary to OASIS policy."

The TC agrees with this comment and
has now added a conformance clause in this section.



Many thanks,

Yours, Mike
