Tuscany SCA Java

Tuscany Java SCA provides the infrastructure for easily developing and running applications using a service-oriented approach. This lightweight runtime is designed to be embedded in, or provisioned to, a number of different host environments without much effort.

SCA applications run within an SCA Domain, a logical concept that bounds all of the components within an application. In Tuscany Java SCA the SCA domain
can run on a single JVM or it can run across multple JVMs without modifying the the way that each component is described.

In this way your SCA application can be run in one place or can be distributed out while relying on the power of SCA to ensure that messages are delivered
to the right component regardless of the configuration.

At the very high level, Java SCA can be divided into core and extensions. The core supports the SCA assembly model, Tuscany value-add features and simple extension point to add extensions. Tuscany SCA Java extension points allow any binding type, implementation types(programming model), policy and data binding to be easily added to it. The Tuscany community has contributed the extensions that are shown below. An extension becomes available for the latest Tuscany release as volunteers test and enhance the extension to work with that release.

SCA Java is integrated with Tomcat, Jetty and Geronimo(in progress).
