On one of the modularization threads it talked about trying to make
SCDL and
assembly more consumable like WSDL and WSDL4J, would that be the
things in
the Metadata Layer box at the bottom?
No replies to this yet so I'll bring it up again. I've commented on the
diagram thread but I'm referring to a comment from another thread:
"More generally, I'd like SCA and its assembly model to be consumable in
many different environments, Apache products, J2EE app servers and tool
environments, and become as pervasive as the WSDL model for example." [1]
Is that the "Metadata layer" box on this diagram?
Yes
I also made the comment in [2] that the SCA Contribution model should be
part of the metadata layer as well. I'm not sure if an SCDL4J module
would include the SCA Contribution support or not though, it may be
better to have SCDL and SCA Contribution separate for now and combine
them later if we see that use cases always combine the two.

If so should the "SCDL Loader Framework" box which is inside the
"Cross-cutting system services box be part of the Metadata layer?
Yes, good point. It's like with WSDL4J, you get the model plus a default
reader/writer.
Is that what you're suggesting, or even if it wasn't, wouldn't it be
good to
do this, ie make a new SCDL4J Tuscany module? It would help with the
modularization efforts, it could be used by the Tuscany kernel, the
Tuscany
tooling, and any external project wanting to work with SCDL.
My proposal was along similar lines but I had not thought about naming
it SCDL4J :) I like the idea as it makes clear what it is.
I'd like to help with this module, and contribute to it some of the
assembly model work I started in my sandbox (starting with models for
SCDL assembly and SCDL policy). If there's no objection against the idea
of an SCDL4J module, where do people think it should go:
- tuscany/java/scdl4j
- tuscany/java/sca/scdl4j
- tuscany/java/spec/scdl4j?
