You can have multiple webapps deployed to Tomcat which use Tuscany and that use each others SCA services by making remote calls to the service endpoints, but each webapp embeds its own Tuscany runtime and is a separate SCA domain and you can't wire between components in different webapps. A couple of times in the past we've started work on deeper intergation but right now thats in a state of flux and not very useable, all the work ongoing about work manager and distributed domains will hopefully improve things. As a step to there one thing you can do with the latest code is to add Tuscany as a Tomcat shared library so you don't need to include all the Tuscany jars in each webapp. To do that download the latest snapshot distribution at http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/tuscany/sca/tuscany-distribution/2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/ Unzip that somewhere and in the conf/catalina.properties file in your Tomcat install add or update the sharedLoader property to point to the Tuscany distribution, eg: shared.loader=/Tuscany/Distros/tuscany-sca-2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/lib/*.jar With that you then don't need to include any of the Tuscany jars within each webapp, if youre building your webapps with Maven just set any <dependencies> for Tuscany to have <scope>provided</scope>. Does that help at all? A lot of the Tuscany developers are interested in this area so if you can say more about what you'd like it may get done for you quite quickly. ...ant
