Re: [soa-iwg] Content of the Eclipse SOA Package

Hi Zsolt,

Hello Scott,

let's start the SOA package with the basic WS tooling and the corresponding runtime. In the meantime we can discuss how ECF integrates best with the rest of the components and how to position the two approaches to service orientation with respect to each other. We should make sure we have a coherent package and not just a disaggregated set of components.


I don't think that including the ECF distributed OSGi work (i.e. RFC119 and dependencies) at all leads to a disintegrated set of components. A coherent SOA package, by my definition, would include that work...since it represents the available work from the Runtime projects on that section of OSGi 4.2.
Again, feel free to bring in your point of view and contribute to the roadmap. Just add your points to the slides and send it back to the mailing list, so we can discuss it openly.


I'm not going to do this directly...as 1) I'm out of town now for a couple of days; 2) I'm not the author of the document. My main suggestion for the roadmap and runtime is this: include the RFC119 impl (and dependencies) from ECF in the roadmap (recognizing the OSGi 4.2/RFC119 standardization work), and the runtime (i.e. the ECF impl of the spec).

I will be more than happy to add the result of the discussion to the master. As you might have seen in the roadmap the current SOA package is only a starting point. We plan to enhance it in the next months and I am confident there is a place for ECF. You just have to participate


Like I said, I'm not going to modify the document initially for the reasons above. As for participation...I consider creating the relevant software significant participation.

For Mylin you are right, it is not a must have in a SOA package, but I felt it being such basic Eclipse component similar to CVS team support, that should be included in every Eclipse package (if it does make sense).

BTW, I think ECF being the wire between equinox based SCA runtimes would really make a lot of sense :-)


Me too. So I think we've established that most of what it takes to effect it is some sense.
