Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (TOSCA-17) Packaging Format for TOSCA
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/TOSCA-17?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=30572#action_30572 ]
Frank Leymann commented on TOSCA-17:
-------------------------------------
I don't understand some of the discussion.
JAR is based on ZIP (here is a link to the JAR specification: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html).
JAR blocks are artifact-type specific and contain all metadata needed. We (i.e. the TOSCA TC) need to agree on the artifact-types we want to support and define the name/value-pair representation of the metadata needed.
Together, I think the current CSAR proposal allows what Tobias' first proposal is about. If I am mistaken, I am happy to learn what I didn't get.
I don't understand the Java-specifics in JAR and especially in CSAR. Of course, the renaming that Tobias proposes is fine with me, i.e. somebody should the actual CSAR document and change names that we then can debate (and agree on). Although I would then make more radical name changes than that from MANIFEST.MF to manifest :-) I.e. just call it "CSAR Metadata" or that like.
But my interpretation is that we agree on the content, overall structure, and mechanics of a packaging format.
I am not convinced that JSON is simpler than name/value pairs.
