Hi, Dishara. Thank you for the interest. I'll elaborate more on the idea.
There is a SCA domain concept in Tuscany, which is a service registry of metadata about all the components and policies. A composite application can have components running on different machines and they can be wired to each other using remote bindings within the SCA domain. From the runtime perspective, Tuscany uses the domain registry to resolve the wirings between components. Tuscany has two types of implementation of the domain registry at this point: 1) Local registry (which only knows the local endpoints). It can be extended to use local files to describe remote endpoints in the node.xml. 2) Multicast based registry on top of Tomcat Tribes or Hazelcast. In a typical enterprise environment, the multicast doesn't work well due to networking constraints. A more useful infrastructure is that we have centralized registry with HA configurations (such as master/slave). Apache ZooKeeper and Redis can be used for these purposes. The project will be mostly implement the DomainRegistry SPI [2].
