Re: A release for JavaOne?

Other than that I think it would be good to find ways to
show how Tuscany plans to be more than just another platform for Java 
web
services.

Yes, I agree with that. We may have different reasons why we agree. My 
reasoning is based on SCA, which is intended to be more than "another 
platform for Java web services". Tuscany should be this primarily 
because of SCA.

I think the best way to demonstrate this is through extensibility 
inline with SCA around impl types and bindings. Practically, I would 
suggest this be a JMS binding since JMS is something a lot of Java 
people use, particularly in comparison with others, and is the next 
binding type targeted by the spec. This shows SOA != web services.

Jim, I agree. It would be very good to demonstrate a subset of the SCA 
async programming model running on top of a JMS binding. I think it 
would make a lot sense to do this with the Celtix binding that Dan is 
starting to work on. Again there's not a lot of time before May and as I 
think you already said on this thread we'll probably be able to only 
implement a subset of the async PM (maybe just one one-way invocations 
without callbacks for example), but running the async PM on top of the 
Celtix binding would help show the power of SCA, and would be a good way 
to flesh out any issues and get concrete input into the spec as we start 
implementing this.
