NEW ISSUE: JAA Conformance Section

Target: Java CAA

Description:  The CAA specification is missing a
conformance section which should identify conformance targets and make
conformance claims for each target.

Proposal:  Add as section 11:

1        Conformance

This section specifies the conformance targets
of this specification and the requirements that apply to each of them.

1.1      
 Conformance Targets

The conformance targets of this specification
are:

·        SCA
runtime, which provides a container for SCA components and potentially
tools for authoring SCA artifacts, component descriptions and/or
runtime operation .

·        SCDL
documents, which describe SCA artifacts, and specific elements
within these documents. (This is dependent
on Java-60)

Conformance Claims

A claim of conformance with this specification
MUST meet the following requirements:

·        It
MUST state which conformance targets it implements.

SCA Runtime

An implementation conforms to this specification
if it meets the following conditions:

It MUST conform to the SCA Assembly Model
Specification [ASSEMBLY] and the SCA Policy Framework [POLICY]

It MUST implement the SCA Java API defined
in section Java API.

It MUST implement the mapping between Java
and WSDL 1.1 [WSDL11] as described in WSDL to Java and Java to WSDL.

It MUST support Java contributions as defined
in XXX. (This is dependent on Java-60)

It MUST support source file annotations
as defined in Java Annotations and Policy Annotations for Java.

1.2      
 SCDL Documents (This
is dependent on Java-60)

A SCDL file conforms to this specification
if it meets the following conditions:

It MUST conform to the SCA Assembly Model
Specification [ASSEMBLY].

It conforms to the requirements in section
[Contributions].
