[jwt-dev] [metamodel] JWT and SCOrWare metamodel
|
Hi all
The SCOrWare project, which is a JWT core partner project, is actually
writing its specifications, and since it is very much MDA minded, its
metamodel is a core proponent. As with all JWT users, its needs fuel
JWT's development and orientation. This metamodel is obvioulsy not the
same as JWT's, so in order to fit in with SCOrWare we have to ease their
integration and at the very least make them consistent with each other.
That's the discussion I'd like to start here.
We'll be provided with a prototype of the SCOrWare metamodel (in the
form of an ecore file) as soon as possible, so everyone can assess it
and give its thoughts. Meanwhile the SCOrWare members like Etienne
Juliot or Alain Boulze will give feedback on the current JWT metamodel
and the work been done on it until now.
Reminder : what is the SCOrWare project :
/The SCOrWare project aims to provide a free software implementation of
the recently released Service Component Architecture (SCA)
specifications, as defined by the Open SOA Collaboration group. It will
consists in an SOA platform comprising a runtime engine as well as
eclipse-based tools. Among those JWT will provide the BPM tooling
framework. The french public research-funded SCOrWare project gathers
the following partners : Amadeus, Artenum, EBM WebSourcing, Edifixio,
eXo platform, INRIA, INT, IRIT, Obeo and Open Wide.
/
So in short : the SCOrWare project aims at providing an SCA runtime as
well as devtime tooling, and JWT aims to be the BPM-targeting tooling
part of it.
I'm personally convinced that being used in constituting a full SOA
platform is a key in opening up the audience to JWT. SOA becoming today
more and more a concrete bridge between the top-down architecture (which
workflows stem from) and distributed computing middlewares, it actually
makes perfect sense to have SOA-oriented uses of JWT.
