This discussion may well go on and on without achieving much as happened in some previous discussions without specific objectives so as a concrete scenario as what i'd like to get working is the SCA domain used by the new Tuscany Tomcat integration which would work as follows: - The tomcat instance would be a domain. It could also be useful for a Tomcat instance to contain multiple domains or be part of a wider domain but i'd like to leave those complications to later. - SCA contributions (webapps and jars/zips etc) can be added during runtime so the domain needs to support adding and starting dynamically. Stopping, updating, and removing would be good too but that can be left till later - The domain is running within a single JVM so it doesn't need any remote distribution technology which helps keep things simple - It would be great to also get the SCAClient API able to talk to the Tomcat domain from a JSE client. I guess thats a slightly different topic but it might be useful to keep it in mind This seems simple and familiar enough that we'll all be able to understand it and we have most of that in place now other than being able to wire across the Tuscany Nodes so it should be easy enough to implement and test as we work out and agree on what to do for the domain. I don't think it matters if it uses the "node or domain centric" approaches that have been mentioned, or uses the existing Node classes or some new Domian APIs and interfaces, we just need to get something working so we can show some progress. Does anyone want more detail on any of that? Or disagree with having this as something to achieve? ...ant
