There are a couple of issues we need to decide on, one is how to run the getting started contributions and the other is how to invoke the services. I've been wondering about using the shell as the approach to run things but its not that clear yet if everyone likes the shell and there is some work to do to get it to work beautifully. I've also been wondering if we really need separate contributions for absolutley everything and maybe it might be simpler is some contributions include several composites. But here's a rough outline of the sort of thing i've been thinking might work: 1) helloworld Start the shell and do: install helloworld-contribution.jar -start The helloworld contribution would have an sca-contribution.xml defining the helloworld.composite as deployable and the component impl would have @Init and @EagerInit so you'd see "Hello world" printed on the console. 2) helloworld with a ws binding. Either a speperate contribution or include a helloworldws.composite in the helloworld contribution. The composite has the helloworld component with the service using binding.ws. In the shell do "installed" to see the installed contributions and the composites in there and then: start helloworld-contribution helloworldws.composite That will start the ws endpoint and you'll see the url printed on the console. You can then do a ?wsdl on that url in a browser to see the wsdl but it would be nice to actually invoke the service. To do that we could have some Java ws client to run but that needs build scripts etc which makes it complicated, i found a html page client in servicemix that we could try which i've committed in getting-started/wsClinet.html. 3) Next we could do a new contribution that uses <include> or <implementation.composite> (perhaps named scdl-include-contribution) taht uses the helloworld.composite from (1). That wont work as the helloworld-contribution doesn't export its resources so this step could show using overiding that with an external sca-contribution.xml. So in the shell uninstall helloworld-contribution and then do: install helloworld-contribution.jar -metaData -metadata new-sca-contribution.xml install scdl-include-contribution -start And that should show the included component output again. 4..x) continue on like that showing all the things we want to do, changing helloworld to using <implementation.spring> instead of <implementation.java>, scopes, callbacks, scdl <wire>, adding external .composte files to a contribution etc using new contributions and external side files as necessary. It would be nice is you could configure a bunch of contribution and composites in the shell and then have a save command that writes out teh contributions and a node config xml file that you can then use in a standalone Java program or webapp to run what you'd configured. Anyway, how does that sound? If it doesn't use the shell then you need lots of launchers and standalone Java programs to run all the thinngs along with Maven and Ant build scripts to run them all and it might start looking a bit complicated. ...ant
