Re: SCA in OSGi - was SCA Spec Update and Recursive Core presentation

2006-06-26 Thread Jim Marino
Yea that was my bad.  Jeremy just cleaned it up so if you can sync  
that would work better. I imagine you are going to run into many  
sharp objects but since you mountain bike I imagine you're used to  
it :-). What is in the OSGi project is really bare bones. Jeremy and  
Rick are having an ongoing deployer discussion and I think it would  
be good to link up with them on the list since I think that will help  
bootstrap in Equinox.


I'm generally around so when you run into questions, feel free to  
post them and we can work through the issues.

Turn about is fair play - just got back from vacation myself - 6  
days of

cycling in the Rockies. :-)

I think this approach will work well for me. I've done an update on  
the

sandbox code and am having troubles building. It appears that the
sca-api jar has been updated with some new classes
(org.osoa.sca.CompositeContext, for example), but the SNAPSHOT  
available
to Maven hasn't been. Am I catching the code in an in between  
state? Any

hints would be appreciated!

My goal for the week is to get the simple composite example working,
using the deployment you describe below. I'm sure I'll bump into  
lots of
sharp objects, which will generate lots of questions. Looking  
forward to

the journey.

Hi Jim,

My personal interest is in SCA-OSGi integration. I listened to your
presentation on the new core architecture, and am going through the
sandbox code trying to gain some understanding of how it all hangs
together. I'd really like to be involved in this area, and would
appreciate any suggestions you can make.



That would be great. I checked in a skeleton OSGi project that uses
Equinox. There are a number of items that we need to figure out,
including:

- The details on OSGi as a host environment. I was thinking the root
runtime context would be loaded in an OSGi and registered as an OSGi
service. Application composites (e.g. applications contributed from
end users) would be loaded as separate bundles and they would
reference the SCA OSGi service to register themselves with the
Tuscany runtime. Likewise, system composites would register
themselves in a similar way.

-  Related to the first point, deployment structure. I'd like to see
us figure out specifics concerning the deployment process such as run
levels

- How to access OSGi services. I was thinking there would be an
"OSGi" binding.

The easiest way to proceed may be for you to start posting questions
as you work through looking at how the sandbox code works. Once we do
that, we can move to specifics on how to integrate with OSGi. Does
that work for you?


I've got a separate thread going with Jervis around the management
capabilities. We (the Corona team) are currently working on a WSDM
interface for the OSGi runtime - I would hope that the lessons  
learned

would be directly applicable to a WSDM interface for SCA.


O.K. that's great

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,

Great.  Do you have some specific areas you are interested in working
on w.r.t to Tuscany? I started a skeleton project of getting Tuscany
to deploy into Equinox. Also, there has been a thread on providing
management capabilities for Tuscany (Jervis I beleive was looking
into this).  We can definitely use help in these areas as well as the
other areas we outlined in the June 9 message from this same thread.
Let me know and I can point you at things in more detail.

Jim
