Hi all, This e-mail is being sent to both Apache Ode and Tuscany development mailing lists.
The objective is to see which possible collaboration could happen between our 2 projects and how we could integrate them. Alex, Cory and myself (we're all Ode contributors) met with Jean-Sebastien Delfino and Simon Laws (Tuscany contributors) during the ApacheCon in Austin and we've found out that integrating Ode into Tuscany could be a brilliant idea.
From the Tuscany side, there's an SCA client and implementation spec for
BPEL. Roughly, it defines how a BPEL process can be used as an SCA component (or at least that's my understanding of it). So I guess Ode could be a good choice for the BPEL part of that.
From the Apache Ode perspective, we've defined an interface to the engine (
a.k.a. the integration API or IAPI for acromyn lovers) and we would like to support several integration scenarii. Currently we have an integration layer for Axis2 to support all web services interactions, we also have one for JBI and another one for CXF has been proposed. We would love to have an implementation of these interfaces for Tuscany to be able to run Ode in an SCA environment (for the curious, the interfaces are here<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ode/trunk/bpel-api/src/main/java/org/apache/ode/bpel/iapi/> ). I think the discussion (if discussion there is) should take place on tuscany-dev as there's less of us, Ode people, so it's easier for us to subscribe to it. So what would it take to fit into Tuscany? Thanks, Matthieu
