2016/05/28 - Apache Tuscany has been retired.

These are the items that have been worked on since Tuscany SCA Java was last released. If we record things that have been done as we check things into SVN there there are two big advantages.

1. Its a lot easier to write the release notes
2. People can take a look to see what is likely to be in the next release

The next release is targeted for mid May 2007. The theme is stability and consumability for the runtime core functions. Since the M2 release we have added.

General

• A clear set of SPIs which we can keep stable over future releases
  • List???
• Refactored extensions to use new SPIs (see below)
• Extensions now loaded via Java service mechanism
• Improved Package/Class naming consistency across modules
• Tidied Package dependencies

Assembly(Model)

• New assembly model implementation taking into account SCA 1.0 artifacts
• Data duplication between assembly model and runtime reduced

Implementation Extensions

• Java
• Script
  • Ruby
  • Python
  • Groovy
  • JavaScript

Binding Extensions

• Axis2
• RMI
• JSONRPC

Databinding Extensions

• Axiom
• JAXB
• SDO

Hosting

• Embedded
• Tomcat
• Jetty
• RMI

Domain and Contribution

• Simple single process domain support
• Contributions support to scope items being deployed the runtime
  • Contribution service to remove the need of import.sdo (rfeng) - Is this now true?

Samples

• A variety of samples testing most implementation and binding extensions
  • See /sca/samples
• Maven and Ant base sample builds in the binary distribution
