Small projects for GSoC 2009

Develop a web-based GUI to allow users to select Tuscany functions based on their need. The tool will automatically pick the necessary dependencies based on maven. It will also produce a distribution based on the user selections.

Add search capability to index/search artifacts in the SCA domain, including the contributions, WSDL/XSDs, java files, composite files.

Add an implementation type to support JAX-RS so that we can provide RESTful services

Add discovery-based based SCA domain management based on Tomcat Tribe or Hadoop Zookeeper (http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper ).

Add a feature that will print out, in some summary form, the structure of a configured Tuscany runtime so you can see how components, services, reference, bindings are configured and wired in reality under the covers including bindings invokers, chains and handlers.

Integrate our load balancing demo into the build (Apache HTTPD config needs automating) and work up better integration with the domain.

Provide some monitoring of the Tuscany runtime. Could be done with policy plugins for example. Look at frameworks to host (Eclipse BIRT?)

BPEL user tasks (no bepl4people in ODE yet apparently) but maybe we could exploit some of the SCA web2.0 bindings to try presenting web pages as part of flows

We need some management integration but we'd need to identify a small piece that could ne done.

Title	A binding.ws implementation based on JAX-WS Dispatch and Provider APIs
ASF Project	Apache Tuscany http://tuscany.apache.org/
Keywords	SCA, JAX-WS, Web Services
Description	The current binding.ws in Tuscany is implemented based on Axis2. Now JAX-WS is shipped with JDK 1.6. It would be nice to support the web services with the JDK based on the standard JAX-WS APIs/SPIs. With this feature, it would be possbile that we add integration to projects such as CXF or Metro

Title	Add search capability to index/search artifacts in the SCA domain, including the contributions, WSDL/XSDs, java files, composite files.
ASF Project	Apache Tuscany http://tuscany.apache.org/
Keywords	SCA, Doamin, Search, Contribution, WSDL, XSD, Composite
Description	An SCA domain can have many contributions installed. An SCA contribution is a collection of artifacts such as java classes, composite files, WSDLs, XSDs, BPEL scripts. It would be great for SCA domain adminstrator or users can search the SCA domain to find artifacts based on keywords or artifact names.

Subject ID	tuscany-android-integration
Title	Empower Google Android applications to easily consume business services
ASF Project	Apache Tuscany http://tuscany.apache.org/
Keywords	Java, SCA, Mobile, Google Android
Description	Continue efforts made during GSoC'08 to mold a lightweight SCA core/runtime that will allow Google Android mobile applications to easily consume business services. Follow-up on recent efforts to complete the bootstrapping of Tuscany extensions in a customized Android module. Then, once it's running, demonstrate with android calculator application, and to finish – extend the existing store android sample application.
