[NEW ISSUE] Java C&I Specification needs to define the default mapping ofProperty fields

Raiser:        
       Mike Edwards

Target:        
       sca-javaci-1.1-spec-cd01-rev2.doc

Description:

a) Section 8 describing the componentType
mapping of a @Property annotation does not make it clear that

the JAXB mapping is the default mapping,
but that others are potentially possible

b) Section 8 describing the componentType
mapping of a Java POJO with no @Reference and no @Property

annotations does not say that the type
mapping follows the JAXB mapping by default but that other mappings

are potentially possible.

Proposal:

a) In the subsection of section 8 which
begins "A <property/> element
exists for each @Property annotation:",
add the following

at the end of the 3rd bullet (deals
with type mapping):

"Note that JAXB mapping is the
default mapping, but that other mappings are possible, where supported
by the SCA runtime

(for example, SDO).  How such alternative
mappings are indicated is not described in this specification."

b) In the subsection of section 8.2
which begins:

"An
unannotated field or setter method is a property if..."

replace the 2nd bullet with the following:

"type attribute and element attribute
are set as described for a property declared via a @Property annotation,
following the

JAXB mapping of the Java type of the
field or setter method by default.  Note that other mappings are possible,
where 

supported by the SCA runtime (for example,
SDO).  How such alternative mappings are indicated is not described
in this specification."
