Major consumability issues with new Node and Domain APIs
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TUSCANY-2409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-2409
             Project: Tuscany
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: Java-SCA-1.3
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Simon Nash
             Fix For: Java-SCA-1.3


The recent change to remove the previous domain/node implementation has created 
severe usabliity issues for the callback-ws-client and callback-ws-server 
samples.

1. In callback-ws-client, MyClientImpl, the line
        SCANode node = 
SCANodeFactory.createNodeWithComposite("myapp.composite");
    was changed to
        SCANode2 node = 
SCANode2Factory.newInstance().createSCANode("target/classes/myapp.composite", 
new SCAContribution("test", "target/classes"));

2. In callback-ws-client, CallbackClientTestCase, the line
        node = SCANodeFactory.createNodeWithComposite("callbackws.composite");
    was changed to
        node = 
SCANode2Factory.newInstance().createSCANode("jar:file:../callback-ws-service/target/sample-callback-ws-service.jar!/callbackws.composite",
 new SCAContribution("server", 
"../callback-ws-service/target/sample-callback-ws-service.jar"));

3. In callback-ws-server, CallbackServer, the line
        SCANode node = 
SCANodeFactory.createNodeWithComposite("callbackws.composite");
    was changed to     
        SCANode2 node = 
SCANode2Factory.newInstance().createSCANode("target/classes/callbackws.composite",
 new SCAContribution("test", "target/classes"));

4. In callback-ws-server, CallbackServerTestCase, the line
        node = SCANodeFactory.createNodeWithComposite("callbackws.composite");
    was changed to
        node = 
SCANode2Factory.newInstance().createSCANode("target/classes/callbackws.composite",
 new SCAContribution("test", "target/classes"));

The complexity of these APIs, and the need to embed hard-wired paths and jar 
names, is unacceptable for a simple sample.  This is "must fix" for the 1.3 
release.

It would also be good to convert more samples from the previous host-embedded 
APIs to the new domain/node APIs, but this can't happen until the consumability 
problems are fixed.

Ideally we would have a "convenience" API similar to the previous 
createNodeWithComposite() API.  This API would call the other more complex APIs 
under the covers.
