I'm going to take this off list as we have a disconnect here that is not
Tuscany specific.

Ok, that's a good start. What did you mean by ignored. I would have

Dave,
That is exactly what I would NOT expect to see.
The component type from the implementation has the Java interface.
The <component.../> from the assembly may choose to use a <service.../> or
<reference.../> element which uses a WSDL for its interface definition
(this is a configuration choice for the assembler), but to me it makes no
sense whatsoever to have a component type sidefile which has a WSDL
interface. To do so would be to lie about the implementation - the
implementation is using the Java interface and knows nothing about the
WSDL at all, even if the WSDL is the correct mapping of the Java
interface.
The interceptors etc can see what comes from the complete composition.
Again, it is VITAL that they know that the implementation is using a
particular Java interface. For example, that interface may be annotated
with important information. The component type sidefile cannot and should
not be used to "wipe out" the information about the implementation.
Yours, Mike.
