Simon Laws closed TUSCANY-1779.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

There is now a new mechanism  (workspace) for locating and parsing 
contributions and for configuring nodes

> Determining the contribution location (confusion over relative location URLs)

>                 Key: TUSCANY-1779

>             Project: Tuscany
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Java SCA Core Runtime
>    Affects Versions: Java-SCA-1.0
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Simon Laws
>             Fix For: Java-SCA-Next

> SCADomain, in both of its guises, allows the details of which contribution to 
> load to be specified.
> the standalone version
> o.a.t.s.host.embedded.SCADomain.newInstance(String domainURI, String 
> contributionLocation, String... composites)
> and the distributed version
> o.a.t.s.domain.SCADomain.newInstance(String domainURI, String nodeURI, String 
> contributionLocation, String... composites) {
> I have found this confusing so, by looking at the code, here is what I think 
> the rules are;
> contributionLocation - an absolute path to a contribution in URL form, e.g
>   file://C:/mydirA
>   jar:file://C:/myjar.jar
> composite(s)  - the name of a composite file(s) e.g.
>   mycomposite.composite
>   somedir/mycomposite.composite
> So the various combinations give rise to
> contributionLocation set / composite null
>    loads all contributions under the contribution location identified
> contributionLocation null / composite set
>    finds the location of your compsite on the classpath and uses that as the 
> contribution location. It loads the named composite from there
> contributionLocation / composite
>   loads the named composite from the specified contribution path
> contributionLocation null / composite null
>   This option is also used if the above rules don't identify a contribution 
> URL for whatever reason.
>   No contribution has been specified so look for the following in order and 
> use the location of the first one found as the contribution location
>   META-INF/sca-contribution.xml
>   META-INF/sca-contribution-generated.xml
>   META-INF/sca-deployables directory
>  
> The slight wrinkle with the code currently is that the algorithm is coded 
> such that if you specify a relative ContributionLocation (which is not valid 
> according to what I have set out above) then it is simply ignored and the 
> algorithm falls back to the other mechanisms for finding the contribution 
> location with potentially confusing  results, for example, if I use the 
> reasonable looking
>    SCADomain domain = SCADomain.newInstance("http://localhost:8080";, 
> "somedir/someotherdir", "some.composite");
> Then this will actually just look on the classpath for " some.composite" 
> which is probably not what was expected.
> We could fix this in code by not testing for an absolute contribution 
> location path and letting it throw a malformed url exception. However this 
> doesn't seem absolutely essential to be done right now so I propose to raise 
> a JIRA and tidy up the above as a section in the documentation.
