Hi, Kevan. Thank you for pointing out the "Re" issue.
As for the next steps, we have some initial thoughts captured at http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYWIKI/Tuscany+Geronimo+Integration+Next+Steps. Any ideas and contributions are very welcome!

Looks like you used a "Reply To" button when generating your note (then changed the subject line). Some mail readers will still group your email in the previous email thread (one example is Mac OS X Mail). This can cause emails to be lost/cause confusion. So, it's best to avoid... More below.

We would like to share the information here and hope it can trigger more interests from both Geronimo and Tuscany community to bring more values into these areas collaboratively. Thanks! Developing SOA based solutions can be very complex and expensive. Apache Tuscany provides a lightweight infrastructure which enables users to easily implement SOA based solutions or to use their existing assets and align them with SOA principles which would support a business model that can extend and expand as business needs change. Apache Tuscany implements SCA specifications that is being standardized at OASIS. Tuscany provides the capabilities to construct, assemble and deploy composite applications using SCA. This white paper explains how Tuscany integrates with Apache Geronimo, a fully certified Java EE 5 application server runtime, to provide added value to users wanting to develop SOA solutions using Geronimo as a platform. The added values include: * Extensibility of component implementation technologies * Extensibility of transport and protocol abstractions * A notion of cross-application/cross-network assembly and configuration * Integration of SCA with existing or new EJB based applications The following are a set of usage scenarios that both JEE and SCA developers could be interested in. * Access SCA composites from Java EE components using JEE programming model * Access session beans from SCA service components * Expose SCA services as session beans or web services * Include Session Beans in a single SCA composition by providing an SCA implementation for session beans. * Inject SCA service references to web components to enable Web 2.0 * Expose enterprise applications into an SCA domain * Use recursive SCA assembly in enterprise applications [1] http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/sca-java-releases.html [2] http://cwiki.apache.org/TUSCANYWIKI/tuscany-web-application-based-integration-with-geronimo.html Is there interest in tighter integration between Tuscany/Geronimo? Would there be interest in generating a Tuscany Plugin for Geronimo? Running Tuscany as a service? --kevan
