RE: [sca-j] package names
Thanks Bryan, for the
info. I hadn’t considered actual executable code. I think replacing osoa
with oasis is all that would be required; beyond that I would accept best
practice. Most TCs aren’t involved in writing code, or it’s done as an
external project and not part of the actual TC work product.
I’m glad I asked the
question!

Subject: RE: [sca-j] package names
Packages are a Java concept and are used partition the Java name space
to eliminate collisions much the same way namespaces are used in XML. They
are hierarchical in nature and there is a direct correspondence between
the package name hierarchy and the directory structure in which the classes
that belong to packages are stored in a file system. Some examples:
java.lang.annotation
javax.xml.xpath
org.apache.xerces
org.eclipse.sdk
As I said below, the current one for SCA is org.osoa.sca, but I suspect
that this will need to change. There is a similar concept is C++,
which is prompting my query. C++ has a namespace construct. It
is also hierarchical in nature insofar as one namespace can be nested in
another. C++ namespaces have names that are valid C++ identifiers.
Currently in C++ we use osoa::sca.
I did not find anything in the OASIS material that provided any guidance
on this.

RE: [sca-j] package names
Hi Bryan,
Not sure what you mean by “package names” – there are TC Admin-approved
namespace and URI designs, if that’s what you’re referring to? If not,
I’m happy to provide assistance.
Regards,
Mary

Subject: [sca-j] package names
I know that this is a minor thing, but has there been any discussion about
needing to change the package names from org.osoa.sca... to something else
- potentially org.oasis.sca... or org.oasis-open.sca...?
