Apache Tuscany SCA Native M3 build (March, 2007)
================================================
http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany
Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
endorsed by the ASF.
Getting Started
===============
Documentation describing the system requirements and the steps to install
Tuscany SCA C++ and run the samples can be found in the GettingStarted.html
file.
About Tuscany SCA C++
=====================
Tuscany SCA C++ provides a runtime implementation for the for the Service
Component Architecture 0.96 Assembly specification and the 0.95 C++ Client
& Implementation Model specification, written in C++ and will currently
support C++, Python and Ruby component implementation types.
The specifications can be found at
http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications
It is possible to interoperate with Tuscany SCA Java via the Web Service
bindings for services and references but restrictions apply. This is not yet a
complete implementation and known restrictions are described below.
Supported SCA Assembly Model features
* All features are supported unless listed under the known restrictions
below. See SCA Assembly Model specification.
Supported language bindings
* Component implementations written in C++. See the SCA C++ Client and
Implementation Model specification.
* Component implementations written in Python. See the
doc/PythonExtension.html documentation.
* Component implementations written in Ruby. See the doc/RubyExtension.html
documentation.
* Component interfaces described by C++ classes. See SCA Client and
Implementation Model specification.
Supported service and reference bindings
* The web service binding is supported. This implementation will support
web services which using document literal SOAP bindings conforming to the
WS-I basic profile (rpc/encoded is not yet supported).
* A REST binding is supported. This implementation supports HTTP calls using
a resource or RPC pattern depending on the use of a REST interface. See the
doc/RESTExtension.html documentation.
* A SCA binding is supported. This implementation uses the web services
binding to provide the "default" binding.
Known restrictions
* Local service interfaces cannot use overloaded operations (the SCA
specification limits remote service interfaces to not using overloaded
operations).
* Each WSDL definition for a web service binding must be in a single WSDL
document.
* No load time validation of the deployed SCA application (run time
validation only).
* No metadata API.
* Components implemented in Python and Ruby are restricted to passing
simple types and language-specific XML objects as parameters and return
values.
* Composites that use the Web Services, REST and SCA bindings are restricted
to transporting simple types and XML.
Thank you for using Tuscany!
