Re: [sca-j] Letter to OpenCSA TCs on conformance and dependancies

We will get this on the agenda at some point in the near future.

I'd like to propose an answer to Jeff's question, in the interest of accelerating progress since Liason has imposed a deadline.

All of our specs depend on Assembly and Policy, in addition;

Java CAA - nothing additional

Java C&I - requires compliance to CAA

Spring C&I - Does it really depend on CAA?

EJB Binding - nothing additional

[sca-j] Letter to OpenCSA TCs on conformance and dependancies

Hi,

On behalf of the OpenCSA Liaison Subcommittee, i was asked to forward  

the following to each of the OpenCSA TCs for consideration and  

discussion.

Within the next month or so we anticipate commencing public reviews  

for many of the SCA specifications.

The TC process requires that each specification at Public Review,  

Committee Spec and OASIS Standard level, contain a conformance section  

listing one or more conformance clauses that define how to conform to  

the specification, or parts thereof.  Like any other part of a  

specification, the conformance section should be complete prior to the  

public review. Also worth noting is that substantive changes to a  

conformance section after a public review, like any other substantive  

changes to a specification, will require a subsequent public review.

Many of the SCA specifications have cross dependencies on each other,  

and in some cases it may not be possible to conform to a specification  

in its own right without reference to another “containing”  SCA  

specification. For example, it may not be possible to conform to the  

SCA Policy specification without requiring conformance to the SCA  

Assembly spec as well.

In order to build a complete picture and understand the cross  

conformance dependencies, the Liaison SC would like each TC to provide  

a list of other SCA specifications that in their opinion are required  

for conformance to each of their own specs.  We can then use this list  

to ensure that the conformance sections in each specification is  

saying the right thing.

Given that we are closing in on the public reviews we would like this  

information to be provided by 21 Jan 2009.

cheers,

  Jeff Mischkinsky, Sanjay Patil - LSC Chairs
