Hi,

I'm trying to fix a problem reported by JIRA TUSCANY-739 (http:// issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-739). Basically, it was to require that an extension module declare the SCDL in META-INF/ sca/ default.scdl. But the fix conflicts with a known issue that we have discussed before. With quite a few samples extending from SCATestCase, the build will fail because now the extension code is on the application classpath and there are more than one META-INF/ sca/default.scdl and the Launcher may pick the wrong default.scdl for the application.

What can we do here?

Don't pick extensions up from the application classpath. SCATestCase should work a) with an installed version of Tuscany and it should boot the runtime in the same way the launcher does, or

I understand this case.

b) in the integration test phase of the build using a plugin that loads extensions into its own runtime

Can you elaborate a bit here? Did you mean to have a maven plugin to load extensions into its own classloader? What about running them inside IDEs?

Yes.

How do you run/debug a J2EE application inside an IDE? That's basically rhetorical, all the IDEs I know need integration code to talk to application frameworks and SCA fits in the same mode. Without that, you have the option of running the launcher with debug on, or running some other command and connecting with remote debug.

Remember, the SCA programming model is designed to let you test application code without needing a full SCA runtime booted. Most tests can be done that way, with just a few integration tests to validate full functionality and typically you wouldn't run those from an IDE anyway.
