Inherently-provided intents do not work at operation level
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TUSCANY-3195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-3195
             Project: Tuscany
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java SCA Policy
            Reporter: Greg Dritschler


PolicyConfigurationUtil.computeIntentsForOperations() contains this code:

            //exclude intents that are inherently supported by the parent
            //attachpoint-type (binding-type  / implementation-type)
            if ( attachPointType != null ) {
                List<Intent> requiredIntents = new 
ArrayList<Intent>(confOp.getRequiredIntents());
                for ( Intent intent : requiredIntents ) {
                    if ( isProvidedInherently(attachPointType, intent) ) {
                        confOp.getRequiredIntents().remove(intent);
                    }
                }
            }

"isProvidedInherently" includes intents that *may* be provided *if requested*.  
It's hard for the binding or implementation to provide the intent if it's been 
removed from the model.

The way this was supposed to work is that the code temporarily removes the 
inherently-provided intents for the purposes of policy set computation, then 
puts them back so that bindings and implementations can find them.  In fact the 
operations determineApplicableBindingPolicySets() and 
determineApplicableImplementationPolicySets() do exactly that.  Unfortunately 
computeIntentsForOperations() is called first in all the various code paths 
that compute policy sets.

I suspect the code to remove the inherently-provided intents can simply be 
removed from computeIntentsForOperations().
