How about supporting composites without namespace declarations at all?
I'm trying to understand all the proposals here, what would be the
side effects of going with your proposal ? This seems like simple, and
simple is good...
Before getting into the side effects, here are three examples:
[A] What we have right now, standard SCA extensions and tuscany
extensions sharing the standard SCA namespace
<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0";
targetNamespace="http://bigbank";
xmlns:bb="http://bigbank";
name="BigBank">
<component name="AccountServiceComponent">
<service name="AccountService">
<binding.jsonrpc uri="/AccountJSONService"/>
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://bigbank#wsdl.port(AccountService/AccountServiceSoap)"/>
<binding.sca/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.AccountServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="accountDataService"
target="AccountDataServiceComponent"/>
<reference name="calculatorService">
<binding.rmi host="localhost" port="8099"
serviceName="CalculatorRMIService"/>
</reference>
<reference name="stockQuoteService">
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://stockquote#wsdl.port(StockQuoteService/StockQuoteSoapPort)"/>
</reference>
<property name="currency">EURO</property>
</component>
<component name="AccountFeedComponent">
<service name="Collection">
<binding.rss uri="/rss"/>
<binding.atom uri="/atom"/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.feed.AccountFeedImpl"/>
<reference name="accountService" target="AccountServiceComponent"/>
</component>
<component name="AccountDataServiceComponent">
<implementation.composite name="bb:AccountData"/>
</component>
<component name="WebResourceComponent">
<service name="Resource">
<binding.resource uri="/"/>
</service>
<implementation.resource location="web"/>
</component>
</composite>
(B) What IMO is a more correct use of XML namespaces, standard SCA
extensions in the standard SCA namespace, and Tuscany extensions in a
Tuscany namespace
<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0";
xmlns:t="http://incubator.apache.org/xmlns/tuscany/1.0";
targetNamespace="http://bigbank";
xmlns:bb="http://bigbank";
name="BigBank">
<component name="AccountServiceComponent">
<service name="AccountService">
<t:binding.jsonrpc uri="/AccountJSONService"/>
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://bigbank#wsdl.port(AccountService/AccountServiceSoap)"/>
<binding.sca/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.AccountServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="accountDataService"
target="AccountDataServiceComponent"/>
<reference name="calculatorService">
<t:binding.rmi host="localhost" port="8099"
serviceName="CalculatorRMIService"/>
</reference>
<reference name="stockQuoteService">
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://stockquote#wsdl.port(StockQuoteService/StockQuoteSoapPort)"/>
</reference>
<property name="currency">EURO</property>
</component>
<component name="AccountFeedComponent">
<service name="Collection">
<t:binding.rss uri="/rss"/>
<t:binding.atom uri="/atom"/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.feed.AccountFeedImpl"/>
<reference name="accountService" target="AccountServiceComponent"/>
</component>
<component name="AccountDataServiceComponent">
<implementation.composite name="bb:AccountData"/>
</component>
<component name="WebResourceComponent">
<service name="Resource">
<t:binding.resource uri="/"/>
</service>
<implementation.resource location="web"/>
</component>
</composite>
[C] What an application developer could write if we allowed namespaces
to be omitted
<composite
name="BigBank">
<component name="AccountServiceComponent">
<service name="AccountService">
<binding.jsonrpc uri="/AccountJSONService"/>
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://bigbank#wsdl.port(AccountService/AccountServiceSoap)"/>
<binding.sca/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.AccountServiceImpl"/>
<reference name="accountDataService"
target="AccountDataServiceComponent"/>
<reference name="calculatorService">
<binding.rmi host="localhost" port="8099"
serviceName="CalculatorRMIService"/>
</reference>
<reference name="stockQuoteService">
<binding.ws
wsdlElement="http://stockquote#wsdl.port(StockQuoteService/StockQuoteSoapPort)"/>
</reference>
<property name="currency">EURO</property>
</component>
<component name="AccountFeedComponent">
<service name="Collection">
<binding.rss uri="/rss"/>
<binding.atom uri="/atom"/>
</service>
<implementation.java class="bigbank.account.feed.AccountFeedImpl"/>
<reference name="accountService" target="AccountServiceComponent"/>
</component>
<component name="AccountDataServiceComponent">
<implementation.composite name="AccountData"/>
</component>
<component name="WebResourceComponent">
<service name="Resource">
<binding.resource uri="/"/>
</service>
<implementation.resource location="web"/>
</component>
</composite>
Now here are a few "side effects" :)
Option [A]
- I cannot validate this composite against the standard SCA schemas
(it'll show errors in my XSD aware XML editor) our Tuscany extensions
violate the standard SCA namespace
- I have one less namespace and prefix declaration to care about
Option [B]
- I can validate this composite against the standard SCA schemas, as the
Tuscany extensions match the xsd:any namespace="##other" extensibility
points in the SCA schema
- I have one more namespace and prefix declaration to write covering the
Tuscany extensions
Option [C]
- I don't need to worry about namespaces, which are usually long and
error prone, writing the composite is simpler
- I cannot validate this composite against the standard SCA schemas as
it does not declare namespaces
My preference is to do both:
- [B], be correct with respect to our usage of XML schema, to make
people who care about XML schema validation and use XML schema tools happy
- and [C] allow people who don't like namespaces to not have to write them
Why do I like [C] as well? Here are a few examples:
<html>
<body>
Hello! I can write XML without namespaces, isn't that nice?
</body>
</html>
An axis2.xml configuration file
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/modules/binding-ws-axis2/src/main/resources/org/apache/tuscany/sca/binding/axis2/engine/config/axis2.xml
An MS WCF configuration
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735103.aspx
A Tomcat server.xml file
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/default-servlet.html
All work without namespaces...
