SCA Java Roadmap discussion

• Support for transaction and reliability policies
  Several users have asked for it, and there's now a public draft of the transaction policy spec

...

• Improve the Eclipse-based tooling support to facilitate developing and testing Tuscany SCA Java applications.
  • What other Tooling integration, can we improve? STP?

• Further improve the Tuscany/Geronimo integration to better leverage the SCA domain/node

...

• Distribution improvements - conclude the ML discussion from a while back on the size and ease of use.
  • Think about profiles for Tuscany SCA use.

• Further improve SCA policy support. Good support for things like WS-Security and WS-RM and show using Java/JMS/WS etc and all the QOS stuff really is as easy as just saying something like requires="reliability"

...

• Support classloading schemes for better isolation/sharing/versioning/updating

• Look into what level of integration with php SCA implementation can be achieved

• Domain
  • Integrate domain support into all hosting options
  • Support for updates.
  • Look at implication of policies on behaviour of domain
  • Improve node selection algorithm which currently just finds a free node. Would like a node to advertise capabilities (a list of supported extensions/policies?)
  • contribution deployment. currently a node expects a contribution to be available locally. Could do with hook into 3rd party mechanisms that put contribution there
  • Load balancing
  • Failover
  • Resilience, e.g. have domain handle events reported by nodes, e.g. error conditions or complete node failure.

• Management
  • Link domain/node into established management solution. New modules required management, management-wsdm, management-jmx, etc.

• implemenation.xslt

• ESB connectivity, e.g. Mule, Synapse, Servicemix

• Fix sample ant file production - there is a JIRA for this already

• Consumability/Usability push - there are JIRAs open specifically about this

• Some flexibility in the way that endpoints are set on callable references
