============================================================

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 1.2 release includes implementations of the
     main SCA specifications including:

        SCA Assembly Model V1.0
        SCA Policy Framework V1.0
        SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs V1.0

    It also includes implementations of many features not yet defined
    by SCA specifications, including:

        - SCA bindings for Direct Web Remoting, RSS and ATOM Feeds, 
          HTTP resources, JSON-RPC, PUB/SUB Notifications, and RMI.
        - SCA implementation types for OSGI, XQuery, BPEL, Widget and various 
          dynamic languages including Groovy, Javascript, Python and Ruby

        - running standalone 
        - running with distributed nodes across multiple JVMs
        - running with embedded Jetty or Tomcat
        - running as part of a standard web application                                     
     
    The Wepapp samples included in this release have been tried and tested on 
        - Tomcat 5.5.20 and Tomcat 6.0.14
