> - Do you use and are happy with the current distributions? We use Java and C++ distribution for a pilot project and so far we are happy with the distributions.
> - Do you use the binary distribution or build your own out of individual jars? We try to use the binary distribution and only build it ourself if we want to use features/bindings which aren't part of the official release (e.g. as it was with JMS some months ago). > - Do you run Tuscany standalone, or use it it webapps, or embed it in other runtimes? We use it standalone and have Java and C++ services interoperating with each other. In future we also consider to use Tuscany Java embedded in an OSGi runtime. > - Do you find it easy or hard to upgrade to new Tuscany releases? Usually it's easy. Only in some few cases where implementations have progressed a lot and made some workarounds obsolete or affected somehow the interoperability btw Java and C++ the upgrade was not straightforward. > - Is it a problem working out what Tuscany jars and dependency jars are needed? Never tried. Though I hope it's easily possible to reduce the distribution to contain only required jars if it becomes necessary (Documentation about dependancies would be helpful. Tuscany modularized in OSGi bundles would be great). Hope this info is of help.

To aid this something which would be really useful would be feedback from users. What you think of the current distribution, how do you use Tuscany and is there anything you can suggest that might making things better or easier for you? So please if you've some time reply with comments: - Do you use and are happy with the current distributions? - Do you use the binary distribution or build your own out of individual jars? - Do you run Tuscany standalone, or use it it webapps, or embed it in other runtimes? - Do you find it easy or hard to upgrade to new Tuscany releases? - Is it a problem working out what Tuscany jars and dependency jars are needed? - Anything else which you find good or bad about the current structure? This is your chance to help shape future Tuscany releases, any and all comments would be really welcome! ...ant
