Hi Ant, Thanka a lot for your answer. This itself was very helpful. The feature that I am really looking forward in Tuscany is the one that you mentioned in the early part of your reply:
I have 2 applications deployed on Tomcat. One web application has some SCA services. Suppose, one of them has some local (not remote) SCA services. Would Tuscany allow the other web application to make use of it? I think this would be possible if the application container boots up with a single Tuscany runtime and both applications use the same Tuscany runtime. Would this type of a feature is something that you would choose to put as part of your roadmap?
