Idea proposal template

Please, Let's use the ASF official idea proposal template to define our project ideas.

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 a binding.ws implementation based on JAX-WS Dispatch and Provider APIs

• 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.

• Tuscany-based MID data state monitoring service.
