NEW ISSUE: What are the requirements on an SCA Binding for eventingpurposes?

Target: SCA Assembly 1.2 WD 01

    

    Title: Need to define the requirements on an SCA Binding,
    particularly for eventing purposes.

    

    Description:

    

    With the 1.1 specifications we found that to satisfy some public
    comments that we should produce a document describing what it meant
    to be a conforming implementation type.  This stemmed from the
    available choices defined by the various SCA committees - Java,
    BPEL, C++ not necessarily being the desired target for some
    implementers of SCA.  To that end, we introduced a document
    describing the requirements on an implementation type.

    

    With the introduction of eventing into SCA 1.2, there are no clear
    cut, obvious choices for a "transport"-of-choice to be defined by
    the SCA bindings TC.  While the JMS binding certainly can and will
    support SCA events, JMS ties itself to Java, which makes JMS a poor
    choice for what is supposed to be a platform independent standard.

    

    To that end, it makes sense to let conforming implementations exist
    by defining what a conforming binding type does, at least with
    respect to eventing.

    

    Proposal:

    

    Create a new specification document that describes what an SCA
    binding must be/do, and how it must be defined.
