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
Hi Matthieu, this would be really great, i'd love for Tuscany to get a involved with Ode to get a BPEL component. For those that haven't found these already there's a white paper on SCA and BPEL [1] and a specification [2]. You can see the type of thing required to implement a container for a new component type in Tuscany by looking at some of our existing ones [3] I agree it may be easiest for the discussions to be over here initially, but i've subscribed to ode-dev as well anyway. I'd be very happy to help you do this, how would you like to get started? ...ant [1] http://osoa.org/display/Main/SCA+BPEL+White+Paper [2] http://osoa.org/download/attachments/35/SCA_ClientAndImplementationModelforBPEL_v0.95.pdf?version=2 [3] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/services/containers/
