+DataBinding Echo Sample
+=======================
+
+This sample demonstrates how databindings are used to convert data formats as 
+the data flows between components. 
+
+The README in the samples directory (the directory above this) provides 
+general instructions about building and running samples. Take a look there 
+first. 
+
+If you just want to run it to see what happens, open a command prompt, navigate
+to this sample directory, and do
+
+ant run 
+
+OR if you don't have ant, on Windows do
+
+java -cp ..\..\lib\tuscany-sca-manifest.jar;..\binding-echo-extension\target\sample-binding-echo-extension.jar;target\sample-databinding-echo.jar dbecho.EchoDataBindingClient
+
+and on *nix do
+
+java -cp ../../lib/tuscany-sca-manifest.jar:../binding-echo-extension/target/sample-binding-echo-extension.jar:target/sample-databinding-echo.jar dbecho.EchoDataBindingClient
+
+
+Sample Overview
+---------------
+If reference and service interfaces are the same in all but the formats of 
+data being passed to and returned from the operations of the interfaces,
+then SCA will try to apply appropriate transformations to the data formats
+to allow messages to pass. 
+
+This sample shows this happening. ComponentA implements Interface1 which
+defines;
+
+ String call(String msg)
+ String call1(String msg) 
+ 
+ComponentA defines a reference to ComponentB with Interface1. ComponentB 
+however implements Interface2 which defines;
+
+ Node call(Node msg);
+ XMLStreamReader call1(XMLStreamReader msg);
+ 
+You can see from the test output below that SCA converts the call() msg from a 
+String to a DOM object (org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl). It
+converts the call1() msg from a String to a XML stream reader 
+(com.ctc.wstx.sr.ValidatingStreamReader).

+Building And Running The Sample Using Ant
+-----------------------------------------
+With the binary distribution the sample can be built and run using Ant as 
+follows.
+
+cd databinding-echo
+ant compile
+ant run
+
+You should see the following output from the run target.
+
+run:

+     [java] [Property] prefix1: ABC
+     [java] [Property] bar: BAR

+
+Building And Running The Sample Using Maven 
+-------------------------------------------
+With either the binary or source distributions the sample can be built and run 
+using Maven as follows. 
+
+cd databinding-echo
+mvn
+
+You should see the following output from the test phase.
