*Apache **Tuscany**: Not the Same Old Architecture*

Do you think of the popular term SOA as the "Same Old Architecture" concept?
The Apache Tuscany Project moves SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) beyond
buzzwords and vague arm-waving into reality. The project aims to create a
next-generation services infrastructure in open source based on the
principles behind the Service Component Architecture (SCA). With
Apache Tuscany,
application developers will be able to create, assemble, and deploy service
networks in ways that are not easily done or possible with existing
middleware.

This webinar will provide an overview of how Apache Tuscany simplifies the
task of creating and assembling service-based applications using SCA. It
will also cover where the Tuscany project is headed and how it will help
developers build tomorrow's applications today.

Speakers: Jeremy Boynes and Jim Marino

*Jeremy Boynes, Gluecode CTO, IBM Corporation***

Jeremy works at IBM on emerging technologies for Service Oriented
Architecture and is an active contributor to Apache Tuscany and other open
source projects. Prior to acquisition by IBM, Jeremy was CTO for Gluecode
Software and one of the founders of the Apache Geronimo J2EE project.

*Jim Marino, Senior Principal Technologist, Office of the CTO, BEA System***

Jim Marino works at BEA Systems in the office of the CTO on emerging
technologies. He is currently involved in the development of the SCA
specifications and the Apache Tuscany Project. Prior to BEA, Jim was with
Art Technology Group and a number of Bay Area startups.

Re: [VOTE] Release Tuscany C++ Milestone 2

[Andrew Borley]

OK, there's a 3rd release candidate up at
http://people.apache.org/~ajborley/cpp-1.0-incubator-M2-RC3/

Minor changes in this RC to address TUSCANY-868 which is where benign
errors get displayed when the SCA runtime attempts to load libraries
whose dependencies aren't available. Also removed some non-required
files from the binary distributions.

Please download, test it out and vote.

Many thanks!

I've just installed the SDO source distribution on Ubuntu 6.06 and it builds
and runs the tests without a problem. The instructions are clear and it
works the way it says it does. Looks good to me.

At least three +1 votes are required, and only the votes from
Tuscany committers are binding. If the majority of all votes is
positive, I will send a summary of that vote to the Incubator's general

The specifications can be found at

http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications

It is possible to interoperate with Tuscany SCA Java via the Web
Service bindings
for services and references but restrictions apply. This is not yet a
complete
implementation and known restrictions are described below.

Supported SCA Assembly Model features
  *  All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions
 below. See SCA Assembly Model specification.

Supported language bindings
  * Component implementations written in C++. See the SCA C++ Client and
Implementation Model specification.
  * Component implementations written in Python. See the
doc/PythonExtension.html
documentation.
  * Component implementations written in Python. See the
doc/RubyExtension.html
documentation.
  * Component interfaces described by C++ classes. See SCA Client and
Implementation Model specification.

Supported service and reference bindings
  * The web service binding is supported. This implementation will support
web services which using document literal SOAP bindings conforming to
the
WS-I basic profile (rpc/encoded is not yet supported).

Known restrictions
  * Local service interfaces cannot use overloaded operations (the SCA
specification limits remote service interfaces to not using overloaded
operations).
  * Each WSDL definition for a web service binding must be in a single
WSDL
document.
  * No load time validation of the deployed SCA application (run time
validation only).
  * No metadata API.



About Tuscany SDO for C++
=

Tuscany SDO is an implementation of the Service Data Objects for C++ 2.01
specification found at
http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/SDO+-+Previously+Published+Specifications

Supported SDO features
  * All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions.
See the Service Data Objects for C++ 2.01 specification.

New features in this release

Re: [VOTE] Release Tuscany C++ Milestone 2

[ant elder]

Distro's looks fine to me and I was even able to get some samples running,
so +1 from me. Congrats.

One comment. As a newbie it was a bit hard following the doc to work out
getting everything installed correctly and the samples running. I think it
could be restructured a bit so its clearer and so you don't have to skip
back and forth around docs so much. Maybe assume WS support is wanted and
upfront say these are the exact steps to install Tuscany with WS support and
clearly list each step. The download versions of iconv, zlib, and libxml
that i could find didn't match the doc so when it didn't work the 1st time I
didn't know if it was as due to a version mismatch but it was just a config
problem. Actually I'd really much prefer the Tuscany binary download include
axis2 and its 3 dependencies as it just makes it so much easier for people
who don't understand this all properly yet. (yes I know, what about python
and ruby and windows/linux and... But WS seems like a basic part of this to
me so should just work right out of the box)
