I am looking at providing SCA support in Geronimo by integrating Tuscany which implements SCA v1.0 specifications [1]. Last year Manu and myself have developed a Tuscany plugin for Geronimo with limited functionality where the services are exposed as webservices using the web container in Geronimo and service references used EJB binding. The plugin works with v2.0 of Geronimo. The code is available in Geronimo svn at [2]. That integration is not a full fledged integration. Now there is also an SCA Java EE Integration Specification [3] v1.0 released in May 2008. We have been discussing in Tuscany dev-list on and off (see [4]) about the specific scenarios and use cases to be considered as a starting point and work towards a full implementation of the SCA Java EE Spec. But, nothing is like hearing first hand from the the users what function would they want to see and what are the important use cases. Some of the functions needed are common to Java EE servers as such and ideal place for this is Tuscany codebase. Starting with the SCA Java EE Spec, I have been working on modelling regular JavaEE applications as SCA contributions (which is not specific to Geronimo). I should have sent this mail much earlier to get input from Geronimo user community, but, better late than never. Please reply to this e-mail on what use cases and scenarios are important to you and you will be looking forward to consume. Your input will be very helpful in driving this integration effort.
