webapp does seem to be the environment that is most talked about. In particular combining tuscany and the sca application into a war (which is what we show in the samples). What do you mean by prebuilt? Do you mean your new approach of having a tomcat war. for the case where tuscany is included in the webapp itself our current approach with the binary distribution lets a developer download tuscany distribution * configure development environment to allow tuscany to be included in the webapp We have ant scripts in the samples I believe Sebastien's Eclipse integration allows for this but I haven't tried it build the war including the sca application copy war to tomcat for the case where tuscany provides a war that runs in tomcat and allows contributions to be deployed by dropping them in. download tuscany distribution * configure tomcat by copying the tuscany war in build sca appplication as a separate contribution copy application to tuscany webapp directory In both cases there is the notion of configuring the environment (*). This step could be the selection of a different distribution and the unpacking of it. It could also be supported with a single distribution that is unpacked and suitably configured (manually or with a tool). Are you thinking of some magic that that allows this to work more effectively with separate distributions? Simon
