Hi Pete
I took sometime to look at the C++ M1 Release candidate and I have the following feedback...
Please keep in mind that my C++ skills is not one of my biggest strengths as of today, so, some feedback might be due to lack of involvement with C++ for couple of years...
Also note that I didn't have a C++ DEV environment, so I was just running things from the binaries you posted.
- In Tuscany Java, we have some sample script files to boot the Tuscany environment (http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/projectjava.html#Enviroment%20scripts). Should we have something similar for C++ environment ? I have created a sample one just to using for C++ M1 and could be used as a sample if people think this is a good idea.
- Instructions on how to install Tuscany SCA CPP posted here (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/cpp/sca/INSTALL) says:
- 5.a. Unzip the supplied zip file. set the TUSCANY_SCACPP variable to point to the 'deploy' directory in the unzipped directory tree.
I can find the deploy directory in the c++ svn repository, but it's not available in the M1 release candidate. Is this just the directory the files were extracted ? If so, documentation needs clarification, otherwise M1 zip need to be checked.
Trying to go a step ahead, I set this to the place i unzipped the files and looks like it accepted that :)
- In order to start getting better results from the SCA Calculator sample program, I had to figure out the following items that were not mentioned in the INSTALL instructions
- Need to add axis2c\lib directory to path as well... instructions only mention bin directory
- Need the following runtime env dlls : msvcp60d.dll, msvcrtd.dll (my system only had the regular ones without the d)
- After fixing the DLL issues, i found that the calculator sample app was expecting the following environment variable to be set :
SystemConfigurationException
TUSCANY_SCACPP_SYSTEM_ROOT environment variable not set
I set that to the same value of TUSCANY_SCACPP
Do we need these 2 env variables ? What is the difference between TUSCANY_SCACPP and TUSCANY_SCACPP_SYSTEM_ROOT
- Now I'm at the point I'm getting the following exception
SystemConfigurationException
Duplicate wire for reference: CalculatorDivideService
Any workaround here ?
Other minor things
- Couple files like : LICENSE, NOTICE, README all have no extensions, are these the way they are supposed to be ? The Java M1 had some of these files with the txt extension...
- The SDO package have two readme with different contents on it (README and README.txt)

I have posted a candidate for the first C++ release here.
http://people.apache.org/~robbinspg/RC1
Would all interested parties take some time to review this so that we can
either re-spin the release or vote on it asap.
The website documentation is out of date and will be re-written to sync with
what is in the release. Hopefully this will be done tomorrow.
A Calculator sample is included which demonstrates deploying an SCA module,
component wiring, locating and invoking C++ service from
C++ component, invoking from a C++ client, and exposing a service as a web
service using ws binding.
Release Summary
=============
Tuscany SCA C++ provides a runtime implementation for the Service Component
Architecture 0.9 specification, written in C++ and will currently support
C++
component implementation types. This is not yet a complete implementation
and
known restrictions are described below.
Supported SCA Assembly Model features
* All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions
below. See SCA Assembly Model specification.
Supported language bindings
* Component implementations written in C++. See SCA Client and
Implementation Model specification.
* Component interfaces described by C++ classes. See SCA Client and
Implementation Model specification.
Supported external service and entry point bindings
* The web service binding is supported. This implementation will support
web services which using document literal SOAP bindings conforming to
the
WS-I basic profile (rpc/encoded is not yet supported).
Known restrictions
* Subsystem: wiring, entry points and external services are not supported.
* Local service interfaces cannot use overloaded operations (the SCA
specification limits remote service interfaces to not using
overloaded operations).
* Each WSDL definition for a web service binding must be in a single WSDL
document.
* No load time validation of the deployed SCA application (run time
validation only).
* No metadata API.
