Overview

This page needs content. Thanks for your contribution (smile)

Java SCA provides the infrastructure to develop and run SCA based applications. At the very high level, JAVA CA can be divided into the kernel and extensions. The kernel supports SCA assembly, Tuscany value add functions and easy plug-points for extensions. The kernel is designed to be embedded in, or provisioned to, a number of different host environments.

Extensions can be divided ino component implementation (such as ...), Binding extensions (such as...) and data extensions (such as ..). For more detail on kernel and extensions please refer to architectureinto 3 categories: 1) Component implementation types such as Srping, Groovy and javaScript, 2) Binding types such as Axis, CXF and 3) DataBinding types such as SDO, JAXB.

Tuscany community has contributed to making Tuscany community has made a set of extensions available with various Tuscany releases. A list of the extensions is shown below. Some of these extensions are available with specific releases of Tuscany SCA Java depending on contribution for that release. If you are interested in adding to these extensions or enhancing an existing extension, simply get involved.

Tuscany SCA Java Sub-Project

The Java SCA sub-project aims to provide enterprise-grade service infrastructure based on SCA. Some of our principles include:

  • We are not a reference implementation but a community that seeks to innovate based on the tenets of SCA.
  • We build runtimes that are distributed under the Apache Software License.
  • We believe developing highly scalable service-based systems should be easier than it currently is.
  • We believe in providing users with flexibility and choice. We do not dictate programming models but support many. Our runtimes are designed to be highly extensible so users may customize them to fit their needs.
  • We provide frequent releases of our software so users can experience the newest features and have access to the latest bug fixes.

What's New

move this to what's new link and add the latest release info
We are currently planning an alpha release of the latest kernel version with support for a subset of SCA 1.0 features. This is intended as a release for users to try new features introduced in the specifications, including:

  • A new assembly syntax
  • Autowire
  • Stateful conversations
  • The new Java API and Annotations

We have also extensively refactored the kernel for increased modularity, simplification, and support for federated deployment, which will be introduced in the release following the alpha. For full details, see the Release Notes.
