Distro's looks fine to me and I was even able to get some samples running, so +1 from me. Congrats.
One comment. As a newbie it was a bit hard following the doc to work out getting everything installed correctly and the samples running. I think it could be restructured a bit so its clearer and so you don't have to skip back and forth around docs so much. Maybe assume WS support is wanted and upfront say these are the exact steps to install Tuscany with WS support and clearly list each step. The download versions of iconv, zlib, and libxml that i could find didn't match the doc so when it didn't work the 1st time I didn't know if it was as due to a version mismatch but it was just a config problem. Actually I'd really much prefer the Tuscany binary download include axis2 and its 3 dependencies as it just makes it so much easier for people who don't understand this all properly yet. (yes I know, what about python and ruby and windows/linux and... But WS seems like a basic part of this to me so should just work right out of the box) ...ant On 10/17/06, Andrew Borley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi everyone, I have posted a 2nd candidate for the milestone 2 C++ release here: http://people.apache.org/~ajborley/cpp-1.0-incubator-M2-RC2/ Please vote to publish the Milestone 2 release distributions. Please take some time to download the distributions, review them and test them in your environment before voting. The vote is open for at least the next 72 hours. At least three +1 votes are required, and only the votes from Tuscany committers are binding. If the majority of all votes is positive, I will send a summary of that vote to the Incubator's general list to formally request the Incubator PMC to approve the Tuscany C++ Milestone 2 release. For your reference the Incubator release policy guidelines are available at http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases . About Tuscany SCA C++ ===================== Tuscany SCA C++ provides a runtime implementation for the for the Service Component Architecture 0.96 Assembly specification and the 0.95 C++ Client & Implementation Model specification, written in C++ and will currently support C++, Python and Ruby component implementation types. The specifications can be found at http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications It is possible to interoperate with Tuscany SCA Java via the Web Service bindings for services and references but restrictions apply. This is not yet a complete implementation and known restrictions are described below. Supported SCA Assembly Model features * All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions below. See SCA Assembly Model specification. Supported language bindings * Component implementations written in C++. See the SCA C++ Client and Implementation Model specification. * Component implementations written in Python. See the doc/PythonExtension.html documentation. * Component implementations written in Python. See the doc/RubyExtension.html documentation. * Component interfaces described by C++ classes. See SCA Client and Implementation Model specification. Supported service and reference bindings * The web service binding is supported. This implementation will support web services which using document literal SOAP bindings conforming to the WS-I basic profile (rpc/encoded is not yet supported). Known restrictions * Local service interfaces cannot use overloaded operations (the SCA specification limits remote service interfaces to not using overloaded operations). * Each WSDL definition for a web service binding must be in a single WSDL document. * No load time validation of the deployed SCA application (run time validation only). * No metadata API. About Tuscany SDO for C++ ========================= Tuscany SDO is an implementation of the Service Data Objects for C++ 2.01 specification found at http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/SDO+-+Previously+Published+Specifications Supported SDO features * All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions. See the Service Data Objects for C++ 2.01 specification. New features in this release * Optional build on Windows with Apache STDCXX * Improved memory management * Multiple bug fixes and internal enhancements Many thanks Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
