Current Intentions

1. Add the jquery option to implementation.widget to handle jquery codes

<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"
xmlns:t="http://tuscany.apache.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"
targetNamespace="http://store"
name="store">

<component name="store">
<t:implementation.widget location="contents/store.html"/>
<service name="Widget">
<t:binding.http/>
</service>
<reference name="catalog" target="Catalog">
<t:binding.jquery/>
</reference>
...
</component>

.....
</composite>

2. Include a generated jQuery plugin

<!-- one js include per sca component -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.tuscany.js"></script>jQuery plugins extends the core jQuery nature [1] . This file would be generated by a generator function in the server side.
