+Apache Tuscany SCA 2.0-M2 April 2009 Release Notes

+==================================================

+

+Apache Tuscany provides a runtime based on the Service Component

+Architecture. SCA is a set of specifications aimed at simplifying SOA

+Application Development which are being standardized at OASIS as part

+of Open Composite Services Architecture (Open CSA) - http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/.

+

+Overview

+--------

+

+     The Apache Tuscany SCA 2.0-M2 release includes implementations of the

+     main SCA specifications and recent updates from Open CSA drafts including:

+

+        SCA Assembly Model V1.0

+        SCA Policy Framework V1.0

+        SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs V1.0

+        SCA Java Component Implementation V1.0

+        SCA Web Services Binding V1.0

+        SCA WS-BPEL Client and Implementation V1.0

+        (portions of) SCA JEE Integration V1.0

+

+    It also includes implementations of many features not yet defined

+    by SCA specifications, including:

+

+        - SCA bindings for RMI.

+        - Databindings for JAXB, Axis2's AXIOM, DOM, SAX and StAX

+        - Integration with various web frameworks

+

+    The Tuscany SCA Runtime can be configured as a single node SCA domain or 

+    as an SCA domain distributed across multiple nodes. 

+    In addition Tuscany SCA supports the following host-deployment options: -

+        - running standalone 

+        - running in a OSGi enabled runtime Environment (Equinox)

+        - running with distributed nodes across multiple JVMs

+     

+See the CHANGES file for a detailed list of the features in this release.
