(PR) 15-day Public Review for Service Component Architecture SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs Specification Version 1.1

The OASIS Service Component Architecture / J (SCA-J) TC [1] members have  
produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this  
specification for 15-day public review:

Service Component Architecture SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs  
Specification Version 1.1

Committee Specification Draft 06 / Public Review Draft 04

15 August 2011

Specification Overview:

The SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs specification defines a Java syntax for  
programming concepts defined in the SCA Assembly Model Specification. It  
specifies a set of APIs and annotations that can be used by Java-based  
artifacts described by other SCA specifications such as the POJO Component  
Implementation Specification [JAVA_CI]. 

Specifically, this specification covers:

1. Implementation metadata for specifying component services, references, and  
properties

2. A client and component API

3. Metadata for asynchronous services

4. Metadata for callbacks

5. Definitions of standard component implementation scopes

6. Java to WSDL and WSDL to Java mappings

7. Security policy annotations 

Note that other Java-based SCA specifications can choose to implement  
their own mappings of assembly model concepts using native APIs and idioms  
when appropriate. 

TC Description:

The SCA-J TC defines the Java (tm) language binding for SCA components based  
on the SCA Assembly specification. The specifications include POJO/Spring  
client and implementation specification, a common annotations specification,  
an EJB binding specification and the J2EE integration specification. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 27 October 2011 and ends 11 November 2011. The  
specification was previously submitted for a 15-day public review on 23  
November 2010 [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made  
from the previous review. 

Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file in the specification  
package.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
