Hi Satya >From [1],
"Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is the standard for Java-based enterprise applications today. While it offers a rich set of technologies, it does not define important concepts that are inherently required in service oriented architectures such as - Extensibility of component implementation technologies - Extensibility of transport and protocol abstractions - a notion of cross-application assembly and configuration The Service Component Architecture on the other hand provides a standardized but extensible assembly language and methodology that can be layered on top of existing component models and runtimes." Other useful information (on this subject) is available at http://osoa.org/display/Main/SCA+Resources and a good introductory article is [2]. Hope this helps.

I am not able to understand why we need SCA specification as we already have J2EE specifications with which we can create services and deploy them. More over to my knowledge we have Spring frame work etc.. Why are we going for SCA. What are the substantial differences that made us to adopt SCA? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Satya
